The Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE), located in Jacksonville, FL, is an industrial facility that reworks, repairs, and overhauls various aircraft, engines, and components. FRCSE procured an Aluminum Anodizing Process Line in FY16 to produce a coherent protective oxide film protective oxide film on aluminum alloys through an electrochemical oxidation processing. The Aluminum Anodizing Process Line (Anodize Line) is custom engineered machine. The line consists of (13) process tanks, material handling automation, process controls, ventilation, and all support equipment necessary to provide capabilities to perform Type IC, Type II, and Type III Anodize of parts. The Anodize line and associated equipment have been engineered and installed according to SOW VIBB-20-1019 (contract SPM4A8-16-M-0005) and all functions thereof are a part of the overall automation, HMI, and control system designed. �The anodize line chemically changes the surface of aluminum components to improve corrosion resistance and hardness. The FRCSE does not have the capacity or ability to perform the required maintenance to keep this system maintained and ready to meet the fleet demand requests for these components and parts that need repaired. The FRCSE therefore requires assistance with the Preventive Maintenance and Emergent Repairs of this anodize line to ensure they are ready and available to perform anodization as required when required.� This requirement is for the contractor to provide subject matter expertise, personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to perform Preventive and Emergency maintenance on the anodize line and support equipment located at the, building 794, FRCSE, Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville, FL, as defined in the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS).

Support will include the ability to provide technical support, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programming, Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) software modifications, and the specific parts required for repair, maintenance and emergency services.� All functions of the anodize line maintenance and service are facilitated by an overall automation process that is controlled by proprietary HMI software (AUCUS) and executed by proprietary custom components designed by the Original Equipment Manufacturer, the Walgren Company (now a division of KOCH Finishing Systems).� The equipment requiring service is listed in the attachment Parts List. The exact contract type is still in development, based on the requirement and future projection of performance needed. CAPABILITY STATEMENT SUBMISSIONS: Responses to this notice should describe the Contractors capability and experience with performing Preventive and Emergency maintenance services on anodized lines and other contracts of this type of work.
