- Description
- The 77 Aeronautical Systems Group, Contracting Division (77 AESG/PSK) intends to negotiate and award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract with Teledyne Scientific & Imaging, LLC, Thousand Oaks, CA (CAGE Code 2D609), to procure Joint Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) Compatible ALEP Spectacles (JCAS). The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This contracting action will be executed as a modification to Contract F41624-02-C-1107 to Teledyne Scientific and Imaging, LLC, to add 700 additional Firm Fixed Price units for JCAS Full Rate Production (FRP), for a total quantity of 1,200. The objective of the ALEP Block 1 program is to develop, manufacture, test, field, and sustain a laser eye protection system for aircrew members. ALEP will provide protection against laser devices/systems in combat and training situations while minimizing visual acuity degradation and will be compatible with current Aircrew Flight Equipment (AFE). JCAS is highly specialized equipment in that it incorporates state-of-the-art filter elements. JCAS must also be compatible with JHMCS. JCAS FRP will transition the JCAS System into the final phase of production. This effort shall include all management and technical support, quality assurance, planning, material and production support and facilities to build and deliver 1,200 production units. Specific performance specifications are classified and requests must be submitted to the Contracting Officer along with evidence of the required facility and personnel security clearances at or above the secret level. In place DD-254 will be required in order to access the Government Performance Specification. This JCAS FRP will be a production effort only; no developmental efforts will be considered. A Laser Eye Protection spectacle at a Technology Readiness Level 9 is required. Qualification Requirements: Due to the complexity and criticality of this requirement, only manufacturers that have successfully completed all testing required by the original company responsible for the design, or manufacturers that have successfully completed all testing on items determined by the Government to be similar in complexity and criticality, can be considered approved sources for this item. The vendor shall provide the following: 1.) Results of Operational Tests with F-15 and F-16 units; 2.) Results of Ground Evaluations to verify the maintenance concept, fitting procedures, and in-cockpit pre-flight checks; 3.) Results of Flight Evaluations to verify operational safety, suitability, and effectiveness with the F-15 and F-16 airframes; 4.) Provide test data that demonstrates visual compatibility for in- and out-of-cockpit environments for the F-15 and F-16 airframes; 5.) Demonstrate production capability by providing a minimum of 120 production representative devices and present manufacturing data to verify production yields and confirm manufacturing capacity and maturity; 6.) Provide test data that demonstrates physical compatibility with the aircrew population for spectacle frame compatibility (form/fit/function) with the JHMCS ensemble; The device shall meet requirements contained in the ALEP Performance Specification which includes laser protection, optical qualities, visual performance, durability, and environmental specifications. Current qualified source is: Teledyne Scientific & Imaging. NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (14-JAN-2009).
