D -- ALDSS POC For copy, contact the info office indicated., For additional information contact Fasick.Q1f/Qlu/[916]643-1051 The Government is considering a logistic services contract in support of the ALDSS (Advanced Logistics Decision Support System)family of computer programs. The ALDSS is series of computer programs that aid in all logistics support decisions for the F-117A Stealth Fighter. These computer programs are currently hosted on an obsolete Government furnished IBM 4381 mainframe computer. This contract has been an annual recurring contract. It is currently planned for the F-117A management SPO to dramatically downsize. This will result in a much small requirement for ALDSS support with a phase out of the current system by FY00. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal. Only interested sources who can fulfill the role of the prime contractor are requested to submit their responses with appropriate capability information. In order to be considered a potential source, interested parties must submit clear, concise, and complete capability statements to the Contracting Office. At a minimum, interested parties must detail execution capabilities in the following areas: Database support (IBM/SQL and FOCUS), Computer Operations Support, ECP Software Support, In-House Help Desk, Functional Analysis Support, Configuration Management, Document Control, Quality Assurance, PC Maintenance and Inventory, Closing and Alarming the Building, Security Capabilities. Interested contractors are requested to submit a Statement of Capability (SOC) that demonstrates the ability to provide and sustain computer support for the ALDSS. The SOC should include a list of previous experience including but not limited to Government contracts. Interested contractors must demonstrate experience in computer and logistics software support and its practical application and sustainment as it applies to a major weapon system. The SOC shall be unclassified and the information submitted should be pertinent to and identify the offerors capability as related to the technical effort as requested above. Do not provide advertisement brochures. The SOC is limited to 10 pages and must be received not later than 14 Mar 97. Replies received later than this date and responses by telegram or fax may not be honored. SOCs will be screened and only prospective sources successfully fulfilling the requirements of planned contract will be considered for solicitation. Any concerns or issues relative to this procurement should be addressed to the Contracting Officer identified below. It is the Government's position that Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), ALDSS prime contractor, is the only potential responsible source. SAIC currently possesses the required engineering expertise, technical data, equipment, facilities and personnel to accomplish this effort on aging Government-Furnished equipment. In addition, since the requirement will downsize dramatically over the next fiscal year, start-up costs will a new contractor will not amortize of the contract period. OTHER FACTS: any potential contractor must have personnel that can program cleared for a Special Access Required (SAR) classified program. Also, IBM has announced that 4381 mainframe computer support will soon be terminated and the micro-code changes that are required will not be made. Finally, the F-117A program is currently being directed to have Lockheed Martin Skunk Works (LMSW) provide total contractor logistics support commencing 01 Oct 97. Thus, this annual recurring ALDSS support contract will most likely terminate in the next 2-3 years. Industry comments regarding this procurement are invited and should be submitted to the following office not later than 14 Mar 97. Contracting Officer: Bradley S. Fasick/(916)643-1051 ext 305/FAX: (916)643- 1631. Mail inquiries to: SM-ALC/QLU/Attn: Bradley S. Fasick/5020 Bailey Loop/ McClellan AFB CA 95652-1034.
