- Description
- This is a notice of intent that WR-ALC anticipates issuing an engineering services task order against an existing Basic Ordering Agreement (F09603-02-G-0013) with Raytheon Company, Goleta CA (MC 06129). This requirement is to develop and procure Fault Isolation System Tester (FIST) in support of the B-1B platform. The FIST provides all loads and test functions required for flight line fault isolation testing of the ALE-50 Electronic Warfare System. The FIST provides the warfighting maintainer with the capability to fault isolate AN/ALE-50(V)2 system failures on-aircraft in a safe environment in order to return the aircraft to full warfighting capability. It enables the System Built-in-test functionality on the ground in absence of a loaded magazine (loaded magazines contain pyrotechnic devices along with classified decoys), as well as providing Stray Voltage test function and Stray current test functions, allowing weapons maintainers to know they are safe to load a magazine into the system. There will be 4 EMD assets and 20 production assets. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within forty-five days (thirty days if award is issued under an existing basic ordering agreement) after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This acquisition may/does involve technology that has a military or space application. The only US contractors who may participate are those that are certified and registered with DLSC (1-800-352-3572) and have a legitimate business purpose. US contractors must submit a copy of their current, approved DD Form 2345 with their request for solicitation. To request this certification write to the Commander, Defense Logistics Services Center, ATTN: DLSC-FEB, Federal Center, Battle Creek MI 49017-3084 and request a copy of Department of Defense Form 2345 or call DLSC at the above number. The solicitation/data package will be mailed to the data custodian identified in block 3 of the DD Form 2345. The extent of foreign participation has not yet been determined. MOU country sources must contact the Contracting Officer within 15 calendar days of the date of this synopsis notice to receive a copy of the solicitation at the time it is initially issued. Issuance of the RFP will not be delayed to review requests from MOU country sources received after 15 days or from non-MOU country sources. Nothing in this notice contradicts other restrictions, identified in the synopsis notice or solicitation, regarding eligible sources (e.g., if this is a small-business set-aside, foreign sources may not participate as potential prime contractors but could, if otherwise eligible, participate as subcontractors). Based upon market research, the Government is not using the policies contained in Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in its solicitation for the described supplies or services. However, interested persons may identify to the contracting officer their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice.
