- REPAIR AND PARTS SERVICE SUPPORT FOR THE AIR FORCE ANDROS F6-A, AIR FORCE VARIANT HD-1 AND HD-2 ROBOTIC SET, AND POWER HAWK SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought Synopsis. It is intended as a method of informing potential contractors of the existence of a Bid Qualification Plan for a two year repair and parts service in support of the Air Force Andros F6-A, Air Force Variant HD-1 and HD-2 Robotic Set, and Power Hawk. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the government. The USAF is seeking potential contractors to become an approved source for repair and parts service for the Air Force Andros F6-A, Air Force Variant HD-1 and HD-2 Robotic Set, and Power Hawk, and gain knowledge of the interests, capabilities, and qualifications of vendors who can successfully support these requirements. The Government is in need of information on potential sources that can perform repairs and refurbishments of Government-owned equipment from commercial Andros F6-A, HD-1 and HD-2 Robotic Set, and Power Hawk that are used to remotely eliminate IED and UXO threats. The Bid Qualification Plan outlines those efforts necessary to approve potential contractors to bid as a source for repair and parts replacements. The Bid Qualification Plan is designed to demonstrate each offeror's competency to inspect, evaluate, clean, repair, test, troubleshoot, and provide parts for the robot set and return to Government inventory in serviceable condition (meet or exceeds manufacturer specification) under the direction of the program office. The contractor shall provide repair and/or parts status on a monthly or quarterly basis with limited warranty up to 1 year and provide reporting through the USAF Deficiency Reporting, Investigation and resolution process (ref. IAW T.O. 00-35D-54) for the repaired and/or parts. The Government does not own or have access to the technical data package for the repair and/or overhaul of the robot set. Interested/qualified sources must include help desk technical support in the unit repair cost. The Government is investigating the feasibility of establishing organic repair capability and is requesting interested sources to determine willingness of entering into a teaming agreement to establish a potential depot repair capability. A Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract for repair and replacement service for the Air Force Andros F6-A, Air Force Variant HD-1 and HD-2 Robotic Set, and Power Hawk is being contemplated. The anticipated requirement for repair and replacement is for around 200 units for the F6-A, 150 for the HD-1/HD-2, and 200 for the Power Hawk. Please note these numbers are estimates and in no way obligate the US Government. The Government has not formalized an acquisition strategy. There is no solicitation and there is no other information available at this time. Only responses to this sources sought will be accepted. Questions regarding the scope of work or acquisition strategy will not be accepted. Interested offerors should respond to this synopsis within 15 days following the publication of this notice. Responses must clearly demonstrate the qualifications, capability and expertise of the vendor. Responses to this notice will be used as part of the market research that will be used to develop the acquisition strategy to satisfy this potential requirement. Written responses may be sent to the Contracting Officer at OO-ALC/GHGKA, 6033 Elm Lane, Bldg 1247, Hill AFB, UT 84056-5825, Attn: Sean Jones (801)777-8403, or by E-Mail at sean.jones@hill.af.mil. Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this sources sought. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this notice or any follow-up information requested. This sources sought is directed only to those vendors who believe that they would be capable of supporting this potential requirement as a prime contractor. Any information submitted by respondents to this notice is strictly voluntary. Also, in order to protect the procurement integrity of any future procurement that may arise from this announcement, information regarding the technical point of contact will not be given and no appointments for presentations will be made.
