- Description
- Tables DHS 11000-6 NDA This is a Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought Notice. This is NOT a request for proposals and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. The United States Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Short Range Recovery (SRR) division is conducting Market Research to identify potentials vendors for the manufacture of a self-contained, NVIS compatible dual mode visible and IR anti-collision light system for the United States Coast Guard H-65 Helicopter. The requirement includes procurement of a non-developmental anti-collision light system to integrate into the already existing aircraft anti-collision system wiring and mounting location. Anti-collision light should be supportable through repairs over the next 10 years. Desired design details are listed in the tables below. The USCG operates a fleet of 98 H-65 aircraft. The H65 fleet operates in multiple environmental conditions throughout the continental Unites States, Alaska, and Hawaii performing Search and Rescue and Law Enforcement missions. The current anti-collision system for the H65 is prone to moisture and salt water intrusion causing an increase rate of failure. The H65 product line is in search of a supportable replacement anti-collision light system that will be able to withstand the harsh H65 operational environment and that will integrate into the existing mounting location and wiring. (For better clarity of the tables please see attached document, "Tables") Desired Anti-collision light system meets the following design criteria: MIL-STD-3009 Note: Supersedes MIL-L-85762A LIGHTING, AIRCRAFT, NIGHT VISION IMAGING SYSTEM (NVIS) COMPATIBLE MIL-STD-464C ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS, REQUIREMENTS FOR SYSTEMS MIL-STD-704F, NOTICE 1 AIRCRAFT ELECTRICAL POWER CHARACTERISTICS AC20-152 DESIGN ASSURANCE GUIDANCE FOR AIRBORNE ELECTRONIC HARDWARE FAR 21 CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES FOR PRODUCTS AND PARTS FAR 29 AIRWORTHINESS STANDARDS: TRANSPORT CATEGORY ROTORCRAFT FAR 91.205 ROTOR CRAFT LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS POWERED CIVIL AIRCRAFT WITH STANDARD CATEGORY U.S. AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATES: INSTRUMENT AND EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS. DO-160 OR MIL-STD-810 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND TEST PROCEDURES Desired Operation Requirements: Operational Voltage: 28 VDC Nominal Average Input Current: ~0.45 amps Peak Input Current: 2.5 Amps @.25 Seconds Visible Light Single beacon: Min 150 Effective candelas in aviation red 360° around the vertical axis, 30° above and below the horizontal plane. I/R Light Single beacon: NVIS Compatible IR lighting 360° around the vertical axis, 30° above and below the horizontal plane. Desired Integration Requirements: • Anti-collision light should interface with aircraft electrical systems utilizing existing plug P/N MS3476W10-6S or equivalent and existing wiring (Wiring Diagram available upon request). • Anti-collision light must be able to mount to aircraft tail tip cap (Mounting Documentation available upon request). Please refer to the below Suggested Mounting Hole Pattern. • Self-contained system not requiring additional power supply outside of the anti-collision light assembly itself. Suggested Mounting Hole Pattern: • 1.0" opening for wires. • Recommend the Mounting Adapter Plate not be longer than 3.6930". • Current hole layout, 4x8-32 mounting holes equally spaced on @ 1.625" bolt circle. Responses should include the following: • Name and address of contractor • Cage Code • Point of contact including name, title, phone, and email address • Capability statement to include the lead time for evaluation and repairs and standard warranty included with product • State whether the business is OEM certified and if so, provide proof of approval • State whether the business is currently classified as Large, Small, Small Disadvantaged, 8(a), HubZone Small Business, Women Owned, Veteran Owned, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small business in terms of the NAICS code 336413 • GSA Contract information if applicable and other information that provides the Coast Guard with a more accurate picture of the potential marketplace for this requirement. The NAICS code is 336413 and the small business size standard is 1,250 employees. Before obtaining copies of the Wiring Diagram and Mounting Documentation, contractors shall be registered in the Defense Logistics Agency's Joint Certification Program. More information on this certification can be found at http://dlis.dla.mil/jcp/Default.aspx. After ensuring registration, the contractor shall complete the attached, "DHS Form 11000-6", Sensitive but Unclassified Information Non-Disclosure Agreement and return with a written request to James.R.Callison@uscg.mil. The written request shall include a completed DHS Form 11000-6 and verification of active enrollment in the Defense Logistics Agency's Joint Certification Program. The USCG will only release the Wiring Diagram and Mounting Documentation to United States (U.S.) businesses that have followed the above procedures. The documentation will not be released to any foreign entity. If the U.S. business plans to release these documents to any foreign entity, they must first provide the USCG with a copy of a valid Technical Assistance Agreement (TAA) and TSP-5 authorizing release to that entity.
