- Description
- Performance Based Logistics (PBL) for Power Take-Off (PTO) Shafts Notice Type: Sources Sought This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only. The Government does NOT intend to contract on the basis of this request or otherwise pay for any information solicited herein. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or a total Small Business Set-Aside. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government is interested in all small business to include 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. The Government requests that interested parties respond to this notice if applicable and identify your small business status to the identified NAICS code. Additionally, please provide any anticipated teaming arrangements, along with a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers for the past three years. Any responses involving teaming agreements should delineate between the work that will be accomplished by the prime and the work accomplished by the teaming partners. All information submitted will be held in a confidential status. All proprietary information should be marked as such. This effort is for repair and/or acquisition of PTO Shafts and B-1B Crossover Shaft to support the Secondary Power Systems (SPS) of the B-1B, B-2, F-15, and F-16. There is a potential for this requirement to include F-22 support as well. This effort will be accomplished through a Performance Based Logistics (PBL) type contract. The goal is to improve the material/component parts availability, delivery, quality, cost savings and increase reliability of PTO Shafts. This PBL effort is applicable to, but not limited to, PTO Shafts for the following aircrafts: B-1, B-2, F-15, F-16, and potentially the F-22. The PTO and Crossover Shafts are components of the B-1, B-2, F-15, F-16, and potentially the F-22 SPS. The PTO Shafts are used to transfer power between the SPS to the aircraft main engines. The B-1B Crossover Shaft transfers power from the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to the Right Hand Auxiliary Drive Gearbox (RHADG) of the B-1B SPS. The B-2 Power Take-off Shaft (PTS) transfers power between the B-2 AMAD (Aircraft Mounted Accessory Drive) and the aircraft main engine. Repair/manufacture of the Shafts must comply with the respective drawings and specifications: - T.O. 2JA5-18-2, B-1 PTO and Crossover shafts - T.O. 9H6-5-12-3, F-15 PTO - T.O. 9H6-5-13-3, 9H6-5-13-4, F-16 PTO - T.O. 16G5-5-4-3, B-2 PTO Shafts - TM/WI F-22-OO-004, Work Instructions F-22 Power Takeoff Shaft The B-1B Crossover Shaft, B-2 PTS, F-15 PTO Shaft, F-16 PTO Shaft, and F-22 PTO Shaft are repaired organically at Hill AFB UT (309 CMXG) requiring that all repair be accomplished by the maintenance organization via an agreement with the perspective contractor. The B-1B PTO shaft is currently buy only but the contractor will be required to develop a repair capability in-house and/or assist the maintenance organization in developing repair capability for the Shaft. The contractor would provide parts, engineering support, training, etc. to ensure the production of the subject shafts. The respondent must be able to demonstrate the ability to obtain or create those resources necessary to perform trouble shooting, repair, testing, provide parts, and manufacture the respective Shafts in a timely manner. If the offeror is able to obtain the data, manuals, and tech orders from another party, they must be able to demonstrate that they have the legal right to use said resources to repair assets for the Government. A central tenant of PBL is a contractor who is responsible for all performance outcomes. The contractor must have the necessary design, manufacturing, production, and process data capable to provide the performance outcomes, predetermined levels of availability (e.g. delivery within 2-4 days CONUS, 5 days OCONUS, etc.), reliability increases from technology insertion, and engineering for design changes. The essence of this PBL is buying performance outcomes, not the individual parts and repair actions. Instead of buying set levels of spares, repairs, tools, and data, the new focus is on buying predetermined level of availability and increased performance of the PTO Shafts to meet the warfighters objectives. The success of this PBL concept is based on the contractors efforts such as (to name a few), building a better system, modifying an existing system, improving the logistic support organization, spares optimization, etc. SPCC Market research shows this effort is a sole source to the original equipment manufacturer. The Government does not have rights to the data for this requirement and a source qualification statement cannot be provided to interested parties. The market survey is for the following: Applicable NSNs are: B1B Shafts; 2835-01-537-3778 and 2835-01-181-4168 F-15 PTO Shafts; 2835-01-522-8015 F-16 PTO Shaft; 2835-01-115-6111 B-2 PTO Shaft; 3040-01-446-1774FW (P/N: 19E252-8A) F-22 PTO Shaft; 3040-01-486-9842FR (P/N: SRV90004-205) Noun: Power Take-Off (PTO) Shaft Potential Systems: B-1, F-15, and F-16, B-2, F-22 NAICS code: 336412 This PBL must comply with 10 U.S.C. 2474 Centers of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITE), which authorizes and encourages the head of the CITE to enter into a public-private partnership. A public-private partnership will be established with the contractor and current organic depot, OO-ALC which is located at Hill AFB, Ogden, Utah. All touch-labor is anticipated to be performed by the OO-ALC Depot with the support described above provided by the contractor. It is anticipated that the contractor will be responsible for maintaining and controlling the current inventory of PTO Shafts, accessories, line replaceable units, spares, and repair parts. Historically, labor has been accomplished on repair bridge contracts and by OO-ALC Depot when the workload transferred from SA-ALC to OO-ALC. 10 U.S.C. 2466, stipulates DoD must maintain a core logistics capability that is Government-owned and Government-operated. Therefore the workload previously performed under repair bridge-contracts will be performed by the OO-ALC Depot. Responses to this announcement shall include the following: 1) Detailed descriptions of capability and experience in PBL PTO Shaft production for all aircraft listed above; 2) Current or previous contracts on PTO Shafts, and accessories or similar; 3) Impediments or unique issues that would apply to support at the end item level; and 4) Business size and percentage goals for small businesses. Please do not send brochures or other marketing information. Responses must be electronically submitted in accordance with this synopsis and shall be limited to 10 pages. Capable sources are requested to submit electronic technical capability statements and relevant information by _________ to: Cory Thompson, OO-ALC/PZABA, phone (801) 586-6275, cory.thompson@hill.af.mil, and Ryan Whaley, OO-ALC/PZABA, phone (801) 777-6502, ryan.whaley@hill.af.mil; and Kim Swarts, OO-ALC/PZAB, phone (801) 775-4918, kim.swarts@hill.af.mil.
