- Description
- A10 Control Display Unit (CDU) Backplane Assembly (Mother board), request for information. This announcement constitutes a request for information. The Air Force plans to use Form, Fit and Function (F3I) to replace the existing backplane assembly that resides in the CDU with a more reliable, longer life backplane assembly that has a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of at least 1,000 hours. The F3I procedure encourages the procurement of items using performance based acquisition specifications versus build -to- print requirements. This procurement will be based on ?Best Value? to the government, not necessarily requirements. The backplane assembly will incorporate state of the art technology and will be compatible with existing hardware and software interfaces in order to maintain form, fit, function, and interface equivalence. The information in this request 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 neither a request for proposal nor an invitation for bid. We are seeking contractors interested in designing and manufacturing a high reliability backplane assembly using modern technology rather than traditional build to print requirements. The new backplane assembly will replace the current backplane assembly (NSN 5998-01-496-7982FJ, P/N: 10-47990-01). Interested parties are requested to submit two copies of a summary of their capabilities and facilities that will allow them to manufacture a new backplane assembly. A Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate and an estimate of the anticipated time between contract award and first flight article delivery are also solicited to aid in the budgeting process. The ROM is for planning purposes only and the contractor will not be bound by these preliminary estimates. This request for information does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that procurement will be accomplished. 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 31 August 2005 to OO-ALC/LGKE, ATTN: Lorraine Vernon, Bldg 1215, 6050 Gum Lane, Hill AFB, Utah 84056-5825. No telephone or Fax responses will be accepted. For answers to technical questions please contact Mr. Dan Wrobel at (801) 777-6813, email dan.wrobel@hill.af.mil. For contractual questions please contact Ms. Lorraine Vernon at (801) 777-0135, email lorraine.vernon@hill.af.mil.
