- Description
- This is a synopsis for a noncommercial program entitled Lightweight display units for the OH-58D helicopter. The objective of the program is to acquire the necessary sets of lightweight, multi-function displays and associated technical data and cont ractor support to conduct qualification testing. It is anticipated that under the resulting contract, EFW INC will deliver three sets of hardware; however, two additional sets will be included as a priced option to support the qualification testing. The Government intends to conduct the qualification testing as a piggy-back effort during the Control Display System IV (CDS4) testing on the OH-58D in June 2004. A Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) contract will be awarded to EFW INC, who is deemed to be the only re sponsible source uniquely capable of meeting this requirement due to ongoing integration work on the OH 58D. EFW INC is the original designer and manufacturer of this lightweight display unit that includes monochrome and color display capabilities, and is a drop in system with weight saving over the current OH 58D multi-function displays. EFW INC. has been a key player in the original Commercial Operations Savings Support Initiative (COSSI) effort to integrate and evaluate these lightweight displays in th e OH 58 D. EFW INC is the only firm holding the design, development, and software knowledge necessary to successfully perform the technology integration and test support efforts required by the Government. This acquisition will be procured in accordance w ith 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(l) and FAR 6.302-1; Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Alpha contract negotiations, appropriate for sole source requirements, will be limited to EFW INC. The contract req uirements will be developed jointly between the Government and EFW INC, consistent with alpha contracting procedures and applicable cost principles, clauses, and provisions in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). Specifications, plan s or drawings relating to this procurement are not available and cannot be furnished by the Government. The period of performance for this program is twelve (12) months. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) applicable to this is 5417 10. The size standard is 1500. While the Government does not anticipate competition, any responsible source may submit a proposal that shall be considered. Written proposals should be addressed to AATD, Attn: AMSRD-AMR-AA-C (Bethany McClave) Building 401 Lee Boulevard, Fort Eustis, VA 23604-5577. Ms. McClaves phone number is 757-878-2003.
