This market survey is to locate a qualified manufacturer who is capable to design, develop and manufacture a Doppler Navigation Set (DNS), previous procured as AN/ASN-157, contained in a singl e Line Replaceable Unit (LRU). The DNS is a commercial off the shelf (COTS) and non-developmental item (NDI) that provides highly accurate 3-D velocity and navigation data to display in the AH-64C/D Longbow Apache Helicopter. The equipment offered in respo nse to this market survey must meet the BAE System Performance Specification, R201A191A100, for the AN/ASN-157 Doppler Navigation Set and the provisions of Installation and Acceptance Test Document AV-IT5845-001A. Only those offerors who can meet the total technical and delivery requirements with a fully qualified ASN-157 DNS that meets Form, Fit and Function requirements should respond. Offerors must provide proof of their ability, in response to this market survey, to the procuring activity no later than 30 days following publication in the CBD. The Government is not planning a qualification test of equipment prior to Formal Solicitation. Offerors proof of their ability to meet Government requirements shall, as a minimum, include the following: A. Equip ment availability and validated bench and flight (helicopter) test data to show the offeror's capability to meet Apache Longbow operational requirements. B. Availability of operational manuals (draft manuals acceptable). C. Ability to meet government t otal delivery requirement commencing 11 months after award of contract at a rate of 6 sets per month through the 5 year of the contract. D. Ability to restore the existing unserviceable DNS to a serviceable condition that meets the requirements of the BA E System Performance Specification, R201A191A100, dated 05 May 2000 for the AN/ASN-157 Doppler Navigation Set. The production DNS to be procured, in response to the formal Army solicitation shall, as a minimum, have the following capabilities: A. Meet the requirements of the BAE Systems Performance Specification, R201A191A100, dated 05 May 2000 for the AN/ASN-157 Doppler Navigation Set and the provisions of Installation and Acceptance Test Document AV-IT-5845-001A. B. Operate with any SAE-15531 (MIL- STD- 1553B) bus control unit. C. Mechanical mounting characteristics such that the DNS can be mounted to existing aircraft holes per AV-IT-5845-001A. D. Protected against permanent damage and shall not incur lasting performance degradation when exposed to ele ctromagnetic fields of up to 200 volts/meter reference MIL-STD-461, RS03. Additional program requirements are anticipated to include the following: (a)Five year performance warranty commencing with delivery for each set. (b)Operational and Logistics Documentation. This action is not a request for proposal and does not commit the Army to procurement of this set. The Army has a requirement to purchase a maximum of 120 units over the next five years (ID/IQ type of contract) w ith a minimum buy of 25 units in the first year(minimum and maximum quantities are subject to change without public announcement). A solicitation for both technical and cost proposals will be issued to only those offerors who are determined to be qualifie d from the market survey. Only those offerors with extensive Doppler navigation design experience, and who can meet Army requirements should respond. Offerors' believing they have equipment that is capable of meeting the stated technical requirements and delivery schedule should submit proposals for their equipment together with validated operational test acceptance data and supporting rationale. Where minor changes to an existing design are necessary in order to meet the provisions of the referenced docu ments, the offeror shall outline the exact changes required to meet the Government requirements and describe the validation testing that must be done before production delivery. Interested p arties shall respond with the information requested NLT 30 days after date of publication. Written responses shall be sent to HQ CECOM, ATTN: AMSEL-LC-CCS-N-AN (Dylan Chung), Ft.
