- Description
- The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC), Launch Test Squadron (LTS), Rocket Systems Launch Program (RSLP), Kirtland AFB, New Mexico intends to solicit a five-year Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the aging surveillance (AS) of the SR118, SR119, and SR120 motors (Peacekeeper (PK) stage 1, 2, and 3 respectively). This effort will acquire aging surveillance services for the former Peacekeeper rocket motors for stages 1, 2 and 3 in support of RSLP. The services will allow RSLP to utilize the former PK rocket motors in a variety of applications. Specific tasks include providing all aspects of engineering and AS support, as required, to ensure flight worthiness on the SR118, SR119, SR120 rocket motors and related components in support of RSLP. RSLP AS support requires the historical AS test data for all three motors in order to provide continuous trend analysis for determining the expected life of the motors and various age-sensitive components. This support includes test and analysis of the motors and components to determine: 1) if there are age related trends, 2) the severity of the aging, and 3) mitigations to the effects of aging. For the SR120 motors, the government maintains a static fire capability and provides static fires. For the SR118 and SR119 motors, the government requirement is for the contractor to maintain a static fire capability and provide static fires. Additional support will include 1) anomaly resolution; 2) modification of the motor(s) related to problems either identified from the AS program or due to a unique launch requirement; and 3) development or modifications to motor related support equipment. RESPONSES TO THIS SYNOPSIS MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN THE RESPONSE DATE of 19 JULY 2010, AS CITED IN PARAGRAPH 4 ABOVE. RESPONDENTS NOT MEETING THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. ALL POTENTIAL OFFERORS MEETING THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS MUST SUBMIT A WRITTEN STATEMENT OF CAPABILITIES (SOC) TO THIS OFFICE. The SOC shall contain pertinent and specific information addressing the following areas: (1) Experience: an outline of previous projects, specific work previously performed or being performed, and any in-house research and development effort relevant to the specific task areas of this effort. (2) Personnel: name, professional qualifications, and specific experience of scientific, engineering, and program management personnel who might be assigned to work in areas of the subject effort. The SOC is limited to 25 pages excluding resumes. Submit only unclassified information. All potential offerors shall include company size status under North American Industry Classification System NAICS 541712 - Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences.
