- Description
- STATEMENT OF WORK EIDS The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Aircraft Operations Center (AOC), located at MacDill AFB, FL intends to issue a solicitation for an electronic Engine Instrument Display System (EIDS) for use in the NOAA WP-3D Orion aircraft. Background The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Aircraft Operations Center (AOC) instruments, maintains, and operates WP-3D Orion and other aircraft in support of a variety of meteorological and oceanographic research projects. The WP-3D aircraft currently use a bank of thirty-six (36) individual instruments to monitor the aircraft engines. The acquisition will be for the components required for replacement of the current engine instrument set with an electronic Engine Instrument Display System (EIDS) consisting of three identical displays and ancillary boxes. The required EIDS shall replace the existing thirty-six (36) engine instruments on the NOAA WP-3D aircraft. The existing suite of WP-3D engine instruments is identical to the standard US Navy P-3C engine instrument suite. However, the NOAA WP-3D engines are scheduled to be upgraded to Rolls-Royce T56-A-14 series 3.5 engines prior to installation of the EIDS. The upgraded T56 engines utilize the performance sensors and transducers, and identical instrument marking with the exception of a modification to the normal operating Turbine Inlet Temperature band. The new EIDS shall be customized to operate with the soon to be installed Rolls-Royce T56 series 3.5 engines on the NOAA WP-3D aircraft. Specifications Attached to this notice are the specifications for which NOAA is seeking sources that can provide the EIDS. This is a request for Sources only and is not a request for quote or an invitation for bid, nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a formal solicitation or ultimately award a contract. The above NOAA requirements and information is provided to assist NOAA in conducting market research of industry to identify sources that can meet the NOAA requirements. Responses to this notice are voluntary and therefore the Government is not liable to pay or reimburse any contractors which respond to this notice. Any costs incurred by interested companies are solely the responsibility of the contractor. The Government does not intend to contract on the basis of this request or otherwise pay for any information solicited herein and the Government reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part any contractor's input resulting from this Sources Sought. NOAA is interested in vendors that can provide a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) EIDS with the capabilities outlined in the specifications. Although there may be some software customization and custom physical installation in NOAA's unique aircraft, the basic hardware, processing software, and user interface should be a proven solution with commercial (FAA) and/or military (US DOD) certification/qualification. It is the intent of this Sources Sought notice to obtain company information and company capabilities for providing such equipment. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. All responses received within 21 days after date of publication of this request for information will be considered by the Government. Responses can be faxed to Ron Anielak at (757) 664-3844 or sent via email to ronald.f.anielak@noaa.gov. Interested firms shall include in addition to the information requested above, in writing: the company name, address, point of contact, telephone number, DUNS number and business size; a statement regarding their capabilities and qualifications to provide the required item; sufficient information that describes or demonstrates the firm's technical capability to provide the specified item; time of delivery to include design and manufacture of the item that meets NOAA requirements in months or weeks after receipt of a contract; sufficient information that describes or demonstrates the firm's technical capability to provide the specified required item; and if the item cannot be manufactured as defined by NOAA provide rationale. Potential vendors should provide information about the EIDS it may propose, including name/model number, publicly available technical specifications, and information about certification/qualification and/or examples of existing aircraft installations. Only affirmative responses to this notice will be evaluated to the extent necessary for the Government to determine whether it is feasible to conduct a competitive acquisition considering parts, cost of testing, standardization, consistency, and price. Submissions received in response to this notice shall be evaluated based on demonstrated technical ability to successfully provide the required item as stated herein. Submissions will be kept confidential. The Government does not intend to host any information exchange meetings to discuss this Sources Sought notice with interested potential respondents.
