- Description
- As prescribed in FAR 15.209(c), the following provision is inserted: IAW FAR 52.215-3 --Request for Information (Oct 1997) (a) The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this solicitation or to otherwise pay for the informatio n solicited except as an allowable cost under other contracts as provided in subsection 31.205-18, Bid and proposal costs, of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. (b) Although proposal and offeror are used in this Request for Information, your response will be treated as information only. It shall not be used as a proposal. (c) This solicitation is issued for the purpose of identifying information on HH-60 Blade Angle Measurement Solutions that have already been developed or may be modified from other Aeros pace Industry solutions to meet the agency requirement as listed below: AATC is conducting an effort to determine potential sources for an additional HH-60 Blade Angle Measurement Solution for Air National Guard (ANG) and Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) HH-60 aircraft to support ground maintenance of blade angle measurement. Current rigging procedures require a minimum of two personnel. Additionally, a third person is needed to steady the blade. Current system results and accuracy is dependent on technician experience subsequently, each technicians readings vary. Reduced pe rsonal and more consistent results are sought. Also, the ability to perform other maintenance simultaneously is a must. Adverse weather such as wind or the rolling of a flight deck on board ships must not affect the rigging/measurement procedures. HH-60 Blade Angle Measurement Device Capabilities: Self contained, Less than 25 pounds, No external power source other than aircraft power, 28 volts dc, One person operation, Ability to perform complete rigging check, Adverse weather (wind), Must be able t o be used onboard ship (rolling pitch and yaw movements can not disturb device, Accurate to +/- 0.2?, Measurement Repeatability +/- 0.1?, Used in conjunction with Technical Order 1H-60(H) G-2-5. Although these are the desired capabilities, all others solu tions or systems are welcome. AATC is seeking contractors who are interested in providing an affordable HH-60 Rotor Blade Angle Measurement device or solution that is a Commercial off The Shelf (COTS) technology as part of an Operational Test and Evaluation effort (OT&E). A No Cost L oan agreement will be entered into with all acceptable solutions for OT&E of HH-60 Rotor Blade Angle Measurement system. Possible follow on procurement and production phases are dependent on Operational Utility Evaluation (OUE) test results and funding, which is not currently budgeted. The government is looking for a solution that offers best value to the government, not necessarily the lowest procurement cost; however, affordability is the most important factor. The following information is provided to assist in conducting a Request fo r Information/Sources Sought synopsis by identifying potential contractors who have the COTS Solution, skills, experience, and knowledge required to successfully complete this effort. Interested parties capable of providing this HH-60 Blade Angle Measurement solution, which meet or exceed the above requirements, shall provide a Statement of Capability (SOC) that demonstrates the existing capability to provide, modify, and sustain the sy stem and a description of system capabilities. A rough order of magnitude (ROM) is requested as part of the RFI and will be used as market research. The SOC shall be unclassified and the information submitted should be pertinent to, and identify system c apability as related to the technical effort requested above. A limit of fifty (50) pages is imposed for the responses. Responses should be received by close of business 23 April 2007. Testing will probably determine the most effective device, system, or solution. Please e-mail all Information and SOC to the Contracting Officer, Mich ael DeSouto, at Michael.desouto@aztucs.ang.af.mil. For programmatic questions or technical questions contact Maj Michael Shilling at (520) 295-6919 or e-mail him at michael.shilling@aztucs.ang.af.mil. This synopsis is not to be construed as a commitment on the part of the Government to award a contract, nor does the Government intend to directly pay for any information or responses submitted as the result of this synopsis.
