- AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL AND LANDING SYSTEMS (ATCALS) PROGRAMMABLE INDICATOR DATA PROCESSOR (PDIP)/OL-475-TPX-42A(V) REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) Request industry comments for a rough order of magnitude on a sustainable study for the Programmable Indicator Data Processor (PDIP), OL-475/TPX-42A(V), system and peripheral equipment. This study should focus on hardware/parts availability for the next ten - fifteen years, without having to change the programming language. 1. The PDIP is a standardized automated radar display, tracking and flight data processing system used worldwide in support of the AN/TPX-42A(V)10/11 Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon Systems to provide air traffic control services at specified locations. A site-adapted standard applications software program, operating on a Data General MV7800XP computer, provides PIDP system functionality and data processing at each site. The PDIP system and peripheral/non-standard equipment consists of : OL-475/TPX-42A(V)10 Programmable Indicator Data Processor (PDIP); 232-110000 OL-475 Data Analysis Programming Group (DAPG); 232-111001-105 (DG 005-18436) VNR Supply; 232-111001-103 (DG 005-30655) CPU (E8887A); 232-111001-102 (DG 005-20141) Power Supply; (DG 005-18439) Fan Assembly, Computer; (DG 005-18997) Chassis Fan, Single; 2320111015-1 Controller Assembly SCSE (ZETACO-SCZ-1); 232-113100-1 HSS/ICA Board Assembly; 232-113200-1 VSP/GPIO Board Assembly; 232-114000-1 Disk Drive Unit Assembly; 10022-000 Uninterruptible Power Supply; 232-310000 Computer Reprogramming Equipment (CRE); 232-311002-1 Disk Drive Unit,Triple Floppy; 232-310100-1 Cable, HP Plotter; 1600.6250/BPI 9-Track Magnetic Tape Unit; 232-320000 Computer Program Test Equipment(CPTE); 232-111001-105 (DG 005-18436) VNR Supply; 232-111001-103 (DG 005-30655) CPU (E8887A); 232-111001-102 (DG 005-20141) Power Supply (DG 005-18439) Fan Assembly, Computer; (DG 005-18997) Chassis Fan, Single; 232-111015-1 Controller Assembly, SCSE (ZETACO SCZ-1;) 232-113100-1 HSS/ICA Board Assembly; 232-113200-1 VSP/GPIO Board Assembly; 232-114000-1 Disk Drive Unit Assembly; 232-111000-1 Chassis; IND 486DX 66 MHz System Console (PC); 444 COMPAQ 15 Inch Color VGA Monitor; IST-10022-000 Uninterruptible Power Supply; IST-10023-000 Battery Pack; 005-018671 MV-7800 Computer Chassis; 2. The Sustainment study should be based on the following factors: a. Government reported outage and maintenance repair data derived from the US Air Force Reliability and maintainability Information System (REMIS) reports for the TPX-42A(V)10/11 for the last three years. Analysis of the REMIS data should produce information to identify the leading causes of TPX-42 failures. This information should be formatted to reflect maintenance history data by system serial number and should include organization, equipment designator, serial number, capability impact, report number, downtime code, work unit code, maintenance action start/stop date and time, maintenance hours and maintenance comments. Analysis of the REMIS data should include identification of failure trends for system work unit codes. b. Analysis of the SSM SAT Tool database for TPX-42 systems. Analysis should include identification of equipment item failure based on cost of system repair/replacement. Failure trends for work unit coded items should be analyzed and reported to show ranking by Mission Capable (MICAP) failures and cost of repair. c. Engineering analysis of the one hundred failure rated items on a sub-assembly basis (i.e. USAF technical orders identify Major and minor assemblies and sub-assemblies, such as circuit cards, which can be cross referenced by the Work Unit Codes assigned to track their maintenance history. Each of the top one hundred assemblies and sub-assemblies should be analyzed to determine the availability of memory units, etc.) Rate the availability of the components to identify manufacturers, annual demand, projected demand reparability, warranty, and cost. d. Provide a report to identify the projected availability of parts to maintain the TPX-42A(V)10 for fifteen years. Include data sources, data tables, analysis, and evaluation methods. Rank the components evaluated to identify the least available to the most available projected to occur for the next fifteen years. NOTE: In accordance with FAR 15.209(c) (Clause 52-215-3(b) 52.215-3 ? Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes As prescribed in 15.209(c), insert the following provision: Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes (Oct 1997) (a) The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this solicitation or to otherwise pay for the information solicited except as an allowable cost under other contracts as provided in subsection 31.205-18, Bid and proposal costs, of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. (b) Although ?proposal? and ?offer? are used in this Request for Information, your response will be treated as information only. It shall not be used as a proposal. (c) This solicitation is issued for the purpose of : INFORMATION and PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY
