Synopsis Number: 0186-95--The U.S. Army Missile Command intends to procure Depot Maintenance Plant Equipment (DMPE) for repair of the AVENGER Laser Range Finder, and components. The hardware will be procured under a Firm Fixed Price Contract Line Item Number (CLIN); and the engineering services effort will be procured under a Cost Plus Fixed Fee CLIN. The basic contract will be awarded for the procurement of hardware, spares and 2978 manhours of engineering services. The contract will also contain a 2978 manhour option for the second year, plus a 2000 manhour range option that will be exercised, if required. The period of performance is 24 months after contract award. The AVENGER TDP contains limited and proprietary rights to Boeing and their subcontractors. The Laser Range Finder, part number 2988501-1, is a subassembly of the AVENGER Weapon System and is produced by Texas Instruments as a subcontractor to Boeing. The engineering drawings and other technical data required to effect repair of the Laser Range Finder are protected by a ''Limited Rights'' statement. Therefore, Texas Instruments is the only source available that has the test equipment and procedures capable of performing depot level repairs to unserviceable Laser Range Finders. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. See numbered note(s)22. (0125)
