- Performance Work Statement for the TSECMS Notice of Contract Action for a Sole Source Procurement SUBJECT: NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT FOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF TEST SUPPORT EQUIPMENT CONTROL& MONITORING SYSTEMS (TSECMS) AT THE ELECTRONIC WARFARE DIRECTORATE DESC: INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT WITH SIEMENS BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES. The Air Force, Edwards Air Force Base, CA intends to award a Sole Source purchase order to Siemens Building Technologies, 10775 Business Center Drive, Cypress, CA 90630. The Sole Source purchase will be for the following commercial maintenance of the Test Support Equipment Control & Monitoring Systems (TSECMS) located in Bldg 1030, at the Electronic Warfare Group, Edwards AFB, CA. The award will be for a one (1) year base period with one (1) one year option. System Description: The TSECMS is a system used in the Benefield Anechoic Chamber to operate, control and monitor aircraft support equipment (ASE) utilities (hydraulics, 400Hz power, and aircraft cooling) in order to maintain system readiness in support of customer test operations. System readiness involves being able to adjust, control and monitor all critical ASE control parameters that are used to provide required utilities and controlled media such as high pressure cooling air, hydraulic fluid, liquid cooling fluid such as polyalphaolephine (PAO) and 400 Hz Aircraft Power. For example, hydraulic fluid is provided to aircraft under test to operate aircraft landing gear and other aircraft hydraulic systems on board an aircraft to support various kinds of testing. In addition, cooling air is provided from a custom built high pressure avionics cooling unit (ACU) used to provide required cooling air at pressures with varying pressures and flows to aircraft and other Avionics Systems Under Test (SUT). The ACU software related system that controls the ACU is from a Siemens Apogee Insight Powers Processing Control Language (PPCL) that was developed and written by Siemens to support a wide range of BAF SUTs. The Liquid Cooling Unit System is monitored to provide PAO fluid at varying system pressures and flows to support liquid cooled onboard aircraft systems. Also, a custom built 400 Hz Electrical System is controlled and monitored to 400 Hz Power to various aircraft and other SUT. In general the TSECMS is primarily used to control Benefield Anechoic Chamber critical equipment and systems to operate, control and monitor aircraft support equipment parameters and connected secondary systems. Scope of Work: The work consists of a contractor furnishing all supervision, labor, equipment and materials necessary to maintain existing hardware and software Siemens Control Systems in order to maintain proper operation of affected TSECMS. Contractor shall maintain, manage, troubleshoot, repair, replace, install, configure, connect and commission Siemens Control Systems of both the hardware and software. Hardware types include Siemens MBC panels/enclosures, with Siemens Open processors, MBC digital input and output modules, analog input and output modules, MEC Series Controllers, Unit Conditioner Controller's/TEC Series Controllers and Siemens actuators and control valve assemblies. Contractor shall be available 24 hours, 7 days per week to provide technical support with the government TSECMS system operators. This shall be accomplished via phone support and/or on-site support as required to maintain TSECMS. This acquisition includes contractor providing preventive and corrective maintenance support to maintain existing Siemens hardware and software control systems that controls and operates government test support equipment. This shall be accomplished via onsite preventive inspections of up to 18 times per year and/or corrective maintenance support when coordinated/requested by the government to restore operations to a failed test system controlled by the TSECMS. This encompasses the Siemens automation systems at the 412 EWG. In addition, contractor shall provide the latest software system performance updates and upgrades as they are made available. TSECMS Hardware/Software System Breakdown 1. APOGEE Insight Graphics 2. APOGEE Insight PPCL programming code 3. Siemens System 600 BLN MEC Series 100/200/300 Controllers 4. Siemens System 600 BLN MBC Field Panels a. To include configuring Analog input/output, Digital input/output plug in modules and microprocessor commissioning/configuration 5. APOGEE Terminal Equipment Controllers (TEC) 6. To include configuring controller Analog inputs/Outputs and Digital Inputs/Outputs and related connected devices. Please note that this is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all interested parties who believe they can meet the requirements are invited to submit in writing complete information describing their ability to provide the equipment maintenance support on the Test Support Equipment Control & Monitoring Systems (TSECMS) at the Electronic Warfare Group. Responses may be sent via e-mail to terence.vickers@edwards.af.mil or mailed to AFFTC/PKEW, 5 South Wolfe Ave, Edwards AFB, CA 93524-1185, Attention: Terence D. Vickers. Fax Number: 661-275-7860. Please call me for confirmation of a Fax transmission. Information received as a result of this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Air Force not to open the requirement to open competition, based on response to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Air Force. If the office has not received any affirmative written responses by Close of Business (COB), 23 September 2013, 4:00pm Pacific Time, a Sole Source purchase order will be pursued with Siemens Building Technologies, 10775 Business Center Drive, Cypress, CA 90630.
