- Description
- This notice attempts to identify additional sources to meet future SINCGARS sustainment requirements. Contract number W15P7T-05-D-J101 was awarded on a competitive basis to ITT Industries, Aerospace-Communications Division (ITT), 1919 W. Cook Road, Ft Wayne, IN 46801 on November 30, 2004 for the manufacture and support of the ITT designed SINCGARS assemblies, including the Integrated Communications Security(ICOM)RT-1523, RT-1523B, RT-1476, RT-1477, RT-1478, System Improvement Program (SIP) RT-1523C, and Advanced System Improvement Program (ASIP) RT-1523E and RT-1478D, and ASIP-Enhanced RT-1523F. This contract is a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) and Time and Material (T&M), Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity contract, with a five-year base period and two option years to produce SINCGARS, spare parts and sustainment support for the ITT family of SINCGARS products. Also included in this contract are the following ancillary devices that were independently researched and developed by ITT: ASIP-E 19 PIN Connector, GPS Fan-Out Box, Vehicle Remote Control Unit (VRCU) & Cables, Single ASIP Radio Mount (SARM) & Cables, Radio Based Combat Identification (RBCI) Responder Box, Control Display Unit (CDU) and Ethernet Fan-Out Box. ITT has Data Rights on items that were independently researched and developed. Any interested source must negotiate directly with ITT on Technical Data Rights issue on the above mentioned ancillaries. The Government is seeking interest from alternate sources capable of producing a build to print version of these configurations at a rate of up to 6000 equivalent Line Replacement Units (LRUs) (including spare parts and CCAs) per month. The contract includes configuration management responsibility (including obsolescence management) to address major obsolescence issues. To maximize the flexibility in modernization of the older assemblies, configuration control of the SINCGARS configurations under this contract has been reassigned to ITT to support this ongoing redesign effort resulting in new drawings that have not been delivered to the Government. Consequently, the Technical Data Package (TDP) which supports the manufacture of these assemblies has become unstable because the redesigns are ongoing and drawings are not yet delivered to the Government for these redesigned configurations. The Government is interested in identifying sources with the capability to produce the radio and associated LRUs, spare parts and CCAs over the next 5-6 years. Interested sources must demonstrate that they have the plant capacity to meet monthly demands of up to 6000 equivalent SINCGARS LRUs (including spare parts and CCAs) per month. In addition, interested sources must possess the necessary security clearance to process Communications Security COMSEC equipment. Deliveries must begin within 9 months of contract award to include completion of First Article Testing (FAT) to satisfy Army fielding and sustainment requirements. FAT will be required for all sources other than ITT, that are interested in the proposed action. Contract Number W15P7T-05-J101 also includes requirements for services, to include the repair of all hardware and ancillary items listed under the contract and hardware procured under the contract. Engineering support services are required to be performed throughout the length of the contract for efforts related to supportability analysis, development, manufacturing, testing and fielding of SINCGARS items delivered under this contract. Selected engineering tasks include, but are not limited to: 1) The evaluation of the maintenance concept to ensure the most cost-effective sparing options are maintained on elected models or assemblies affected by obsolete components 2) The update of field maintenance procedures as required, to include organizational level as well as the AN-GRM-122 software and technical documentation support, are required to be performed. Contractor Field Service Representative (CFSR) support of all system installations, training and field support of all SINCGARS equipment is also required to be performed under this contract. SINCGARS training support services and material are required to be provided. The CFSR support will include the responsibility to conduct in-country site surveys, installation kit development and spare parts packages and engineering support to resolve field identified technical issues with the SINCGARS radio system. Interested sources may identify their interest and capability to meet the Governments requirements. Sources capable of providing these items in accordance with the Governments requirements, to include the required delivery schedule, shall respond in writing. The response shall include a short introductory description (unclassified) outlining a viable approach that meets the above needs and should address production capabilities. Responses from interested sources shall address their capability to act as a single provider for the SINCGARS, spares, and services.
