- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Belvoir Division, on behalf of the Product Manager Ground Sensors (PdM GS), under the Project Manager Terrestrial Sensors (PM TS), is conducting market research to determine industry's capabilities in providing full rate production of spare and repair parts for the Vehicle Optics Sensor Systems (VOSS) for Medium Mine Protected Vehicles (MMPV) in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 10. The purpose of this Market Research is to identify potential sources that have the capability to produce and deliver spare and repair parts for 480 Vehicle Optics Sensor Systems (VOSS) previously procured in support of Overseas Contingency Operations (OCOs). A list of spare and repair parts is enclosed as Attachment 0001. Delivery will be required starting no later than nine (9) months after contract award. All spares and repair parts are required to be compatible with the current configuration consistent with VOSS documentation. Respondents should assume that no Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) will be provided to incorporate into the VOSS. The Government does not own the Technical Data Package (TDP). The contractor shall submit Design Change Notices (DCN), Logistics Management Information (LMI) and Data Product(s). DCNs document Provisioning Parts List (PPL) and Technical Manual changes which add, change or delete parts due to approved Engineering Change Proposals (ECP). DCNs are not required for changes which have no impact on provisioning documentation e.g., changes to the finish, tolerances, etc., if they do not require a change to the part number. The contractor shall provide updates to the PPL as a result of any approved ECPs, design changes, obsolete parts, substituted parts or other actions. The Contractor shall be responsible for providing necessary changes to VOSS documentation, logistics, and provisioning data when spare parts are added or deleted to the system. The Government will accept responses from sources with a demonstrated capability to provide the needed components for VOSS for MMPVs Type I and Type II, and provide data needed for organic support.
