- 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 Request for Information (RFI), or to otherwise pay for the information 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 RFI, your response will be as information only. It shall not be used as a proposal. (c) This RFI is issued for the purpose of identifying information on a reverse engineering and manufacture of flight control computer circuit card assemblies (CCAs) for the AV-8B aircraft. PMA-257 is issuing an RFI in an effort to determine potential sources and information on firms that can reverse engineer whole circuit card assemblies. This announcement is for market research and does not constitute a Request For Proposal (RFP). This is not a Research and Development (R&D) request. PMA-257 is seeking information on affordable circuit card assembly manufacturing using the latest Commercial Off -The Shelf (COTS) technology.. Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs) for Aircraft Based Flight Control Computer Platform The following is provided to potential vendors to provide insight into the governments thoughts at this date on Thresholds Requirements (must have) and objective requirements (beneficial to have). These pre - decisional thoughts on requirements are subject to change in a future RFP. 1. Threshold: a. All engineering drawings, interface requirements and definitions, test reports, and other pertinent data will be made available to the government. b. Installation concept shall not require modification to existing aircraft hardware and software architecture. c. No changes shall be required in the existing aircraft interface (same pin-outs without wiring for internal test points and same external dimensions). d. The circuit card assemblies shall interface with the other existing flight control computer Circuit Card Assemblies. e. These new reverse engineered cards shall be interfaced with current FCC CCAs and be powered by the existing 28V DC aircraft power. 2. Objectives: a. Circuit cards should be "plug and play" and easily removed and replaced by higher levels of maintenance. Interested parties qualified of providing the reverse engineered circuit cards, which meet or exceed the above requirements, shall provide a Statement of Capability (SOC). This describes the vendor's existing proficiency to supply, modify, and sustain the system to aircraft out of service date. The SOC shall be unclassified and the information submitted should be pertinent to, and identify system capability as related to the technical effort requested above. A limit of twenty (20) pages is imposed for the responses. Responses should be received by close of business 30 days after release of RFI. Please direct all questions to Michael A. Cocca at 301-342-9063. Again, this RFI 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 any responses submitted as the result of this RFI.
