Oberdorfer The United States District Court for the District of Columbia Dear Judge Oberdorfer: We refer to your order dated June 29, 1981 regard- ing Aero Corporation v. Department of the Navy, Civil Action No. 79-2944, asking us to review recuests for reconsideration filed by the Navy and Lockheed Corpora- tion in response to our letter of June 5, 1981. Essentially, the Navy and Lockheed seek correction of what they state are factual and conceptual errors reflected in our June 5 opinion. They ask for a con- ference in order to explain their position to us more fully. As explained below, we affirm our earlier views. Our June 5 letter dealt with the Navy's plans to order the overhaul of additional C-130 series air- craft from Lockheed in connection with the Navy's C-130 Service Life Extension Program (SLEP). We concluded that the Navy had not justified placing additional noncompetitive SLEP installation orders with Lockheed; that the Niavy should attempt to compete SLEP installation for as many of the remaining aircraft as possible, and that further orders should be placed with Lockheed only on an individual airplane-by-airplane basis as necessary to meet srecific, urgent schedule requirements. In this connection, we found that the record did not support the Navy's assessment of the time which would be required to prepare so-called Military Specification (tMil. Spec.) kits which would be used if SLEP installation were performed by a firm other than Lockheed. The Navy contended that use of kits would be essential if SLEP were performed by a contractor other than Lockheed in order to contro' risk and to assure that the Navy receives a uniform, standardized product.
