Watch out for
- Sole-source intent to Lockheed Martin. The Government plans to buy from one named source, so a small business has little chance unless it proves it can do the work.
The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1)- FAR 6.302-1.
- Systems unique to B-1 and B-52. Repair of these proprietary systems likely depends on technical data and test equipment you may not have.
