- Description
- C-5 Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM): The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Mobility Directorate, C-5 Division (AFLCMC/WLSK), Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio intends to award a sole source contract to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics for the design, development, integration, production, installation, test, verification and validation of multiple CNS/ATM upgrades on the C-5M aircraft (defined as C-5 aircraft which has been modified by both the Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) and the Reliability Enhancement and Re-engining Program (RERP)) under Request for Proposal (RFP) FA8625-15-R-6599, henceforth referred to as the CNS/ATM Upgrade Program. C-5M aircraft which have already received the Core Mission Computer/Weather Radar (CMC/WxR) modification will be the baseline of the CNS/ATM program. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." This requirement will not be set-aside for small business and will be covered under NAICS code 336413 -- Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. An Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract is anticipated to be awarded in March 2016 to design and develop software, as well as incorporate new hardware solutions, which will comply with the most current CNS/ATM requirements. The EMD contract objective is to best achieve the Government's minimum requirements to ensure the aircraft fleet meets civil and military mandates to be implemented between Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-2020. These requirements consist of avionics modifications to the C-5M Super Galaxy to include: upgrades to the ARC-210 radio, upgrade of legacy voice SATCOM equipment, installation of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast Out capability, and upgrade of the Identification Friend or Foe system to Mode 5. The EMD contract will also include developmental testing and evaluation (DT&E); formal qualification testing (FQT); assembly and checkout; training; identification and procurement of peculiar support equipment; spares to support all testing (DT&E and Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) and initial spares; technical publications and technical orders (TOs) (to include Level 3 drawings and manuals (flight, maintenance, depot repair, support equipment and commodity)); TO validation and verification per TO 00-05-3; modification of one Weapon Systems Trainer (WST); maintenance support; re-procurement data; technical data and unlimited data rights/license agreement for all newly developed hardware and software, as well as any modified hardware and software, comprising the selected CNS/ATM architecture in order to provide for organic Government support and depot-level of repair. The estimated period of performance for this development effort is FY16 through FY19. Since the Government plans to issue a sole source solicitation, FA8625-15-R-6599, an additional synopsis will not be issued. The approximate date for issuance of the solicitation is 2 April 2015 with a response date of July 2015. During FY18 the Government will solicit and award a contract for the CNS/ATM Upgrade Program production kits to include a maximum quantity of 50 production kits, not to exceed procurement over 6 lots during the period of FY19 through FY24. This contract will also include procurement of: spares in support of Main Operating Bases (MOBs), Forward Servicing Locations (FSLs), and Readiness Spares Packages (RSPs); and peculiar support equipment. The Government does not own nor have access to all of the specifications, standards, and data needed for the design, development, integration, production, installation, test, verification and validation of the CNS/ATM Upgrade for the C-5M aircraft. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics owns or has access to all the data needed to integrate the CNS/ATM Upgrade Program onto the C-5M aircraft. Another source would also require knowledge of or access to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics proprietary internal specifications and standards as it relates to the legacy C-5 aircraft and C-5 AMP and RERP modernization programs. If you believe your company is a potential source for the design, development, integration, production and installation of the contractor-selected CNS/ATM upgrade components that best meets the minimum requirements of upgrades to the ARC-210 radio, upgrade of legacy voice SATCOM equipment, installation of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast Out capability, and upgrade of the Identification Friend or Foe system to Mode 5 Level 2, then the following criteria are hereby established and all of these criteria are required to be met before the estimated release date of the Request for Proposal on or before 2 April 2015. a. Potential source shall be a manufacturer or modification contractor of a wide body cargo military or commercial aircraft in the high gross weight category (minimum 500,000 pounds or greater). b. Have access to or possess C-5 source data to include C-5 AMP and C-5 RERP. As stated above the United States Air Force does not possess this information. c. Have access to modification facilities capable of accommodating the modification and support prototype aircraft flight-testing and have partnering flexibility with Government depots. d. Security Clearance for both safeguarding and facility at the Secret level. e. History of software and hardware design and development for integration of same or similar CNS/ATM equipment with military aircraft. Sources responding to this posting are required to submit their statement of technical capability, not to exceed 15 pages addressing these criteria to AFLCMC/WLSK, Attn: Mr. Justin Buschagen, 2275 D Street, Bldg 16, Room 127, Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433-7222, by facsimile at (937) 656-7026, or E-mail at justin.buschagen@us.af.mil no later than 5:00 PM EST on 2 Apr 15.
