- Description
- RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SOURCES SOUGHT. It is the Governments intent to award a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Contract for the Conformance Inspection of Army Aviation Critical Safety Items. A conformance inspection program has been in existence for many years and is used to assure the continued integrity of Critical Safety Items (CSI) manufactured for the US Government. Conformance Inspections on CSIs will determine the compliance of the part to the Technical Data Packages (TDP) from which the parts were manufactured. These inspections require the ability to verify precise dimensional tolerances, chemistry of base material and coatings, grain structures, and other physical and materials related aspects of the various parts supplied. The TDP may contain the following: drawings, Spares Technical Data Packages, specifications, etc. The proposed period of performance is from AUGUST 2010 through JULY 2015 and may involve performance of 50-350 inspections per year. Offerors must demonstrate the ability to perform conformance inspections by providing a sample of a report for similar work. A complete list of all current analytical equipment and a list of qualifications for current employees is also requested. The Government is seeking to determine whether two or more small businesses are capable of performing the work outlined in the description above. The Government is asking for responses from all responsible Small Business sources that can demonstrate their capability to perform the work and provide the requested documentation pertaining to the sample report, equipment list and personnel qualifications by the closing date of this sources sought notice. This information will be used to evaluate each sources capability to perform inspections and determine whether or not this acquisition will be designated as a small business set-aside or a full and open competition. The proposed contract listed herein is being considered for a 100% small business set aside, and is subject to the availability of funds. By U.S. Law, participation in Small Business Set-Asides is restricted to U.S. small businesses; therefore, submission of information by foreign sources will not be honored. The most recent Aviation Engineering Directorate (AED) effort was awarded on a sole source basis to Dayton T Brown under Contract W58RGZ-05-C-0318, a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee, Basic Contract plus five one-year Options, with a total potential dollar value of approximately $46.6M. This is a Sources Sought Synopsis announcement; market survey for information only, to be used for preliminary planning purposes. Responses to this Sources Sought Notice are due no later than 1600 (CST) on 16 DECEMBER 2008. Formal communication related to this Acquisition should be directed to Paula Parker, Contract Specialist.
