To provide to provide all equipment. material, labor, facilities, technical support and screening, performance tracking of hardware and software, to include technical publications and integrated electronic technical manuals, other logistical support resources and engineering services deemed necessary to support and sustain Apache Airframe PBL Components, aside from Government Furnished Equipment (GFE). Boeing as the OEM is the only source capable of providing the specific support required for Apache AH-64D/E Airframe Services.c. As of this date no rights to the technical data have been acquired by the Government for a competitive procurement. Lacking a complete Technical Data Package (TDP), the Government cannot complete this requirement without the risk of a break in service and subsequent danger of severe non-availability of depot level logistics support for the Apache AH-64D/E Airframe Unique components. The data acquired thus far by the Government is insufficient to allow another source, commercial or otherwise, to perform on the program without the Government assuming tremendous risk to the validity of the available data. Competition without an adequate commercial TDP would not be in the Government's best interest. As noted, Boeing as the OEM is the developer and sole manufacturer of the Apache Attack Helicopter and the only source that can provide access to required proprietary data/factory technical assistance in a timely manner.
