Description

This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought Synopsis. The Air Force would like to replace the existing TV Interface Card with a more reliable, longer life card with a ten-year warranty, under the Falcon Flex Program. We are looking for a TV Interface Card that would offer "best value" to the government, not necessarily lowest procurement cost. This card would be a Form, Fit, Function and Interface replacement for the existing card. The following information is provided to assist the Air Force in conducting a market survey of industry to identify potential contractors who have the skills, experience, and knowledge required to successfully complete this effort for Hill AFB, Utah. This is not a Request for Proposal or Invitation for Bid. We are seeking contractors who are interested in designing and manufacturing a high reliability TV Interface Card using modern technology rather than traditional build to print requirements. The F-16 Logistics Operations Division, Avionics Section, has a requirement for as many as 1,500 TV Interface Cards. The new card will replace the current card (NSN 5998-01-220-4070, P/N 8001023-922). The TV Interface Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) contains two television processing channels. Each channel can select one of eight externally supplied composite video signals, strip the composite synchronization from it, provide a DC restoration function, and superimpose externally supplied symbology of controlled variable intensity. A top-level drawing set describing the TV Interface Card function and current design is available. Interested parties are requested to submit two copies of a summary of the capabilities and facilities they have which will allow them to perform the development and manufacture of the new card. Rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost estimates are also solicited as an aid in the budgeting process. Please include your Cage Code with your submission. The government does not intend to contract on the basis of this request or otherwise pay for the information solicited. Written responses must be submitted by 22 March 2001 [c1]to [c2]OO-ALC/LGKE, ATTN: Cheryl Dumas, 6072 Fir Ave, Hill AFB, UT 84056-5820. Requests for drawings should be forwarded to the above address or e-mail, cheryl.dumas@hill.af.mil. http://contracting.hill.af.mil/html/SourceSought/SShp.htm Electronic procedure will be used for this solicitation. See our Web page. An Ombudsman has been appointed to hear concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. The purpose of the Ombudsman is not to diminish the authority of the program director or contracting officer, but to communicate contractor, concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals or in the source selection process. Interested parties are invited to call Roger Porter if your concerns are not satisfied by the contracting officer (801)777-6991. ATTENTION: Contractor must be registered with Central Contractor Registration to be eligible for contact award or payment from any DOD activity. Information on registration and annual confirmation requirements may be obtained by calling 1-888-227-2423, or via the Internet at http://www.ccr2000.com
