- Description
- This amendment corrects an e-mail address only. With headquarters at Eglin AFB, FL, the Armament Directorate's mission across multiple USAF bases is to equip warfighters by acquiring and supporting war-winning capabilities. On 14 March, the Directorate announced the hosting of a Small Business Industry Day (SBID) under the title of "Armament Small Business Only Industry Day," which focused on the product needs for Track 1 of the SBID. This supplemental announcement identifies 1) the location of this event at the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort in Miramar Beach, FL 2) the date of the event on 29-30 July 2014 and 3) specific armament business opportunities intended to be set aside for small businesses (these are in addition to those listed on 14 March). Pending the level of response and associate building capacity, attendance may be on a first come, first serve basis. The AF SBID, provides a forum for small businesses to present products of interest to the AF, learn about upcoming AF armament business opportunities, meet with subject matter experts on technology needs, and meet with major defense contractors for partnership opportunities. SBs must register at the website below in order to attend the Track 2 session designed to provide further information on the requirements listed below followed by a question and answer exchange. Invitations for one-on-one meetings (not guaranteed for all participants) will be sent directly to individual small businesses after registration opens. Questions received may be answered via amendment(s) to this announcement if deemed relevant to all parties unless a specific request for privacy is included. https://conference.brtrc.com/AFSBID/2014Armament Small Business Opportunities Summary: 1. Improved Lethality Warhead: The primary objective of this contract is to build BLU-111D/B CDI warheads, which consist of a Cast Ductile Iron warhead case manufactured to meet the same outer mold requirements as a standard BLU-111 500 lbs bomb. The BLU-111D/B CDI will utilize a certified fuze, proximity sensor, and guidance kit from the current AF inventory. The warhead case will contain PBXN-109 as explosive fill in order to meet the area attack mission and the warhead will have the capability to deliver the payload into an open area using Height of Burst (HOB) technology. The contract anticipates competition and award in early 2015 with PoP of 24 months and potential for a follow-on. 2. Design, Develop and Qualify New Container: The Small Diameter Bomb may require new single weapon containers for the existing SDB I weapon. A small business will be considered for design, development, qualification and manufacture of this new container. The container should be designed for military applications in accordance with Mil-Std-648D, passing applicable qualification testing from Mil-Std-810G. It would also need to meet the insensitive munitions requirements of Mil-Std-2105D. The container designer/manufacturer would have to work closely with the weapon manufacturer to address any weapon warranty issues. Quantities of up to 3050 containers may be required. Air Combat Command has not approved this acquisition yet but if the requirement materializes, contract award could be as early as 2016 with period of performance of up to three years. 3. Inventory Control Point: Contractor Logistics Support to provide labor, shipping and storage to assure BRU-61 carriage system readiness and reduce downtime associated with organic organization level repair. Government has a three (3) day shipping requirement applicable to OCONUS and CONUS locations. Within three (3) business days, excluding Federal Holidays, the contractor shall respond to an order and ship BRU-61 carriage spares listed as identified by the System Program Office. Inventory Control Point (ICP) will also be required to provide Peacetime Annual Demand and Surge Protection Stocking Levels as anticipated. Those surge levels will be provided by the SPO. 4. Annual OPERATIONAL SAFETY, SUITABILITY, AND EFFECTIVENESS (OSS&E) Storage Inspections Contractor will assume responsibility for SDB system performance and establish procedures for visual support and electronic inspections, (IBIT, Compressor and Visual testing). Inspections are to be performed on a minimum of 5 percent and maximum of 10 percent of SDB 1 weapons and carriages in support of OSS&E. Contractor shall use the Operational Requirements Document (ORD), to define and perform user requirements. OSS&E operations are performed at restricted US Government facilities CONUS and OCONUS and proper Federal identification will be required for entrance. A security clearance at the level of Secret maybe be required for access to some of these facilities 5. Manufacture and repair containers The SDB II weapon is delivered in individual extruded aluminum containers. Over time and use, these containers are expected to sustain some damage due to handling that goes beyond field repair. Needed repairs could include welding of aluminum and possibly the manufacture of small parts out of aluminum or steel. It could also include procurement and installation of non-standard parts such as shock mounts. The repaired containers would need to be certified that they are returned to "like new" condition so that the warranty on the weapon will not be voided. Though this will be an ongoing effort, this repair capability will probably not be needed until 2017 at the earliest as we do not expect the first deliveries of the containers until late 2015/early 2016. There are expected to be around 12,000 containers fielded between contract award and the last lot delivery in 2025. Due to the expected life of the weapon system, the need for this service could run through 2045, however the contract would probably be awarded in smaller periods of performance of 5 to 10 years. 6. OFP Updates for weapons in storage (EBM) SDB I and II weapons and carriages require periodic updates of Operational Flight Program (OFP) software embedded in them. The program office is considering contracting for annual test and upload of approved OFP software. The contractor would maintain configuration control of the SW and weapons with respect to SW load. SDB Logistics personnel will assist with the effort. The contractor would need certified software personnel with access to weapons in deep storage at Army Depots around the world. 7. Manufacture/Production B-61 Notional TKA Lifting Device (EBB) The B61 Program Office will need to contract for the manufacture of a TKA Lifting Device for fielding and sustainment. AFLCMC/MMHE will be designing and producing the drawing for the TKA Lifting Device. The SPO will need to contract for initial fielding quantity and spares ~50 units. Production of these units could be contracted through local small business in FY16. 8. P5 Interoperability with future F-35 Encrypted Solution (EBY) Current P5 Combat Training System (CTS) infrastructure is inoperable with F-35 internal air combat training system. P5CTS is expected to monitor and decrypt F-35 encrypted downlink messages to optimize employment for USAF, joint & coalition 5th and 4th Generation (Gen) aircraft and provide realistic training to enable combat readiness. Solution must be able to monitor and decrypt JSF downlink messages, integrate JSF tracks into the live monitor ground system, and pass encrypted JSF data through P5CTS remote range units and air subsystems. The need to pass encrypted F-35 time space position information (TSPI) in a tethered (requiring range ground equipment) capability will provide advanced live-monitoring increasing real-time and post mission debriefing value to aircrews. Proposed solution cannot degrade or eliminate any current capabilities. Solution must be fielded in coincident with FY17, F-35 Block 3F upgrade; initial fielding at NTTR/UTTR and the JSF formal training site (Eglin). 9. P5 Interoperability with future F-35 Encrypted Solution (EBY) The Target Control System team plans to award a ~$2.4M contract to HX-5 (Small Business) in March 2015 for the AMIE (ACDS Missile Interrogation Enhancement) project. This is a follow-on effort to the current ACDS contract that HX-5 is currently executing. However, since that award is at its ceiling for small business ($4.5M), we are doing a new contract for the AMIE. 10. AMRAAM NDI/U Telemetry Container Procurement (EBA) The AMRAAM SPO currently procures Telemetry containers from the OEM as part of the end item buy. These containers have already been included in the AMRAAM Lot 28-30 RFP and the proposal currently under review. The NDI/U (Telemetry) containers are simple metal canisters, easily manufactured by any number of small businesses. For future AMRAAM procurements, Lot 31 and beyond, EBA will attempt to solicit these Telemetry containers directly from a small business to provide them as GFP to the OEM. This is a Track 2 requirement for the FY18/19 timeframe. 11. TU-22 Mission Kill Model (EBA) The purpose of this effort is to take the existing TU-22 K-Kill model (previously developed by EZW in the 1990's) and create a TU-22 mission-kill model for use in the latest version of the Raytheon AMRAAM Rapishaz fly out / SHAZAM fuzing simulation(s). 12. Test and Evaluation/Science and Technology Program (EBS) The primary objective of this Joint DDR&E / DOT&E initiative, which transitioned to Test Resource Management Center (TRMC) in Feb 2005, is to investigate and develop new technologies required to test and evaluate our transforming military capabilities. It includes any system that makes our warfighters more survivable and effective in combat, as well as maturing test technologies from TRL 3 to 6. The ultimate goal is to transition emerging technologies into test capabilities in time to verify warfighting performance. If studies prove feasible, it could transition to a Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) executed out of the Armament Directorate such as the SFSS and CRIIS programs. 13. Study of precursor for reactive armor (EBM) How to improve kill capability of reactive armor protected targets 14. Study of GPS receivers for Anti-Jam improved Capability (EBM) Improved anti-jam capability 15. Provide a task to a subcontractor who could input all contractor and subcontractor specifications into Dynamic Object-Oriented Requirements (DOORs) System (EBM) Currently, large prime contractors are responsible for this effort with potential for SB to accomplish. 16. AMRAAM Single Missile Storage/Shipping Containers (EBA) AMRAAM s are currently stored and shipped in containers capable of holding 4 missiles. When a CATM or Tactical missile fails in the field it is stored in one of the 4-up containers until there have been 4 failures. 1, 2, or 3 missiles often sit for extended lengths of time until a full container can be shipped back to the repair facility. Additionally, new ITVs and AAVIs are often shipped from the OEM in less than full 4-up containers. There is a need for a single missile container to transport failed missiles back to the repair facility in a more timely manner and to allow more efficient use of the 4-up container, instead of using it store and/or transport fewer than 4 missiles. The design and manufacture of a single missile container for the AMRAAM could be accomplished by a small business. 17. Electronic Attack Test Equipment (EBA) AMRAAM development could benefit from small business innovation in the field of Electronic Attack test equipment. There are some unique test requirements under Advanced EPIP and other development projects that cannot currently be supported by the Navy Airborne Threat Simulation Organization. This is a Track 1 requirement. 18. JASSM Test and Tooling Equipment (EBJ) Prime or through the Program office for an IDIQ type of requirement. Requirement could be a multiple award or single award, but only solicited to SB. SB contractor would analyze production facility (working with the prime) to determine the scope of the requirement for buying, refurbishing, and maintaining current and future tooling. After requirement definition was complete an analysis would be conducted to make a decision on make or buy. Contractor would be responsible for buying and or refurbishing tooling and maintaining into the future. This requirement would generate great prospect of SB competition particularly at the broker level (buyer of the tooling). Each annual requirement (or desired frequency) could be competed amongst several pre-priced multiple award contract vehicles. 19. JASSM/JASSM-ER Single Missile Storage/Shipping Containers (EBJ) The program office currently procures the JASSM container from a SB via subcontracts. The government is contemplating procuring the container directly from a SB in the future. The JASSM container is used for both the baseline and ER missile variants. Each container is an aluminum structure that provides the physical and environmental protection needed to safely ship, handle, and store the AGM-158. Each container holds one missile. The two major components of container are the cover and the base. Containers can be stacked four high. The pressure relief valve can be opened manually and is set to automatically open at a 1.5 psi pressure. The container has three straps: one metal strap and two nylon straps. During breakout operations, the metal strap is removed. The two nylon straps remain installed for transport and up load. Forklift bars are located between the center support towers on the container cover and are used to lift and remove the cover from the container base. Eight tie down/lift rings (4 per side) are each rated at 5,000 lbs capacity. Contemplated solicitation timeframe would be second quarter FY15.
