- MK12A Mod 3 to 5F Conversion Sources Sought General Information Document Type: Sources Sought Synopsis Posted Date: 27 March 2012 Category: MM III MK12A Re-entry Vehicles Contracting Office Address Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Nuclear Weapon Center, ICBM Systems Directorate Contracting, 6014 Dogwood Ave (Bldg 1258), Hill AFB, UT, 84056-5816 Description This announcement constitutes a sources sought synopsis for purposes of conducting market research. The Government intends to establish a new contract to convert from 1 to 6 Minuteman III MK 12A Mod 3 configured re-entry vehicles to the Mod 5F configuration. The Air Force is in the process of preparing a Justification and Approval document to gain the required approval to issue a sole source request for proposal to Textron Defense Systems. Statutory authority is 10 USC 2304(c)(1), Justification: Supplies (or Services) required are available from only one or a limited number of responsible source(s) and no other type of supplies or service will satisfy agency requirements. The proposed contract action is for Textron to cut two new antenna windows in the Mod 3 midsection, fabricate new antenna assemblies ( housings, S and C band iris, fused quartz window, and antennae), procure and install Radio Frequency (RF) cables, power splitters and show that the newly configured Mod 5F midsection meets RF requirements. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1: only one responsible source. Textron is considered the only qualified organization with the requisite skills, capabilities, system expertise, and resources to accomplish the required midsection conversion. Subject to the Government's consideration, a viable source, not already qualified to provide the requisite services should submit a concise and program specific response presenting sufficient information to substantiate they have demonstrated: (1) the ability to machine the MK12A RV midsection (2) the equipment in place to machine the midsection and the fused quartz windows (3) the ability and equipment in place to manufacture the antenna housing (4) that they have trained employees with satisfactory qualifications and backgrounds which includes the ability to properly handle, manufacture, and machine Mod 5F components. Additionally, they must verify compliance with MK12A RV specifications. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. The Air Force will not pay for either the effort or the associated costs to respond, or for any information provided. A Determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to information received will be normally considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses must be received by April 11, 2012, 4:00 pm Mountain Standard time to AFNWC/PKME, ATTN: Brad Vargo, 6014 Dogwood Ave, Bldg 1258 Room 24, Hill AFB UT 84056-5816, or bradley.vargo@hill.af.mil.
