- Description
- The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), 412 Test Engineering Group (TENG), Edwards AFB, CA intends to issue a sole-source contract to Teletronics Technology Corporation, Newtown, PA (hereafter referred to as TTC), to provide a family of compatible hardware and software products and services meeting the High Speed Data Acquisition Systems requirements. The data acquisition system uses the Common Airborne Instrumentation System (CAIS) bus in its design. The anticipated contract will be a Firm Fixed Price IDIQ contract with a five (5) year duration and will support all combined test flight (CTF) programs at Edwards AFB and other multi-service agencies. The statutory authority, which permits other than full and open competition for this acquisition, is 10 United States Code (USC) 2304 (c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a) (2) (iii) (A). This authority is supported by an approved J&A. A Sources Sought Synopsis was previously issued on 9 September 2009, Reference Number FA930210R0003. Taking into consideration the responses to this Sources Sought synopsis, it is the Governments intent to proceed with a sole-source action. The applicable NAICS code is 334220. The size standard, as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration, is 750 employees. TTC will provide all labor and supplies required to provide AFFTC an Airborne Data Acquisition System which shall be a highly advanced, proven, fully integrated, general purpose flight test instrumentation specifically designed for aerospace applications. The basic system consists of a programmable controller unit which communicates with analog and digital remotes via a high speed CAIS bus with command response topology. The remote units handle a large number of widely diversified data sources which include low and high level analog signals, as well as support programmable gain, auto gain ranging, signal conditioning and signal filtering as required. The units also handle digital data from sources such as Bi-Level, Serial and Parallel inputs as well as monitor and interface standard avionics buses including MIL Std 1553 A/B, ARINC 429, RS-232/422, RS485, Universal Serial Bus (USB), Ethernet 10/100/1000 base-T, Fire wire IEEE-1394b, ASM Copper/Glass Fiber Channel and F-22 FOTR Bus. The system shall be capable of providing multiple data output formats in accordance with the Range Commanders Council (RCC) Inter-Range Instrumentation Group (IRIG) Standards, IRIG 106, as well as support selected data and bulk recording per IRIG Chapter 10. All system components shall be compatible with and supported by TTC WARE for configuration set-up, display and analysis. This notice neither constitutes a RFP or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor does it restrict the Government in any way to an ultimate acquisition approach, however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the government. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL AND IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. AFFTC has appointed an Ombudsman to hear concerns from potential offerors relating to this acquisition. The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the Program Director or Contracting Officer, but communicates contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals or in the source selection process. Matters of a routine or administrative nature concerning this acquisition should not be addressed to the Ombudsman but rather the Contracting Officer previously identified. For any other concerns, interested parties may call the Air Force Flight Test Center Ombudsman, Col Wayne Patterson, 5 South Wolfe Avenue, Edwards AFB, CA 93524-1185, (661) 277-2006. For further information, contact the Contracting Officer, Mr. Mike Keeling, AFFTC/PKEE, (661) 277-2704 or Mr. Jeffory Mohan, AFFTC/PKEE (661)-277-8801.
