- Description
- NSN: Not Applicable. P/N: Not Applicable. The purpose of this requirement is to provide continuing engineering and technical data services required to determine the stress and load characteristics and/or loading environment of specified areas of the AC-130W; provide engineering and data services to define the usage and operational environment of Special Operations Forces (SOF) C-130's; and provide support for the SOF Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP). The Contractor shall identify AC-130W unique integration components for the Loads Environmental Spectra Survey (L/ESS) system, including data acquisition unit programming, MIL-STD-1553 Bus Protocol Specification, data bus connections, and mounting of components and report the findings and updates. In addition, the contractor will provide updated source data based on lessons learned from a similar tasking performed previously on AC-130 aircraft. Incorporate any red lines from the previous installation along with the unique L/ESS configurations into new drawings created by this task for the AC-130W aircraft. DELIVERY SCHEDULE: ESTIMATED twelve (12) month Period of Performance (PoP). Intended Source: The Corporation of Mercer University, d.b.a. Mercer Engineering Research Center (MERC), 135 Osigian Blvd, Warner Robins, GA 31088. CAGE CODE: 1WDH9. MERC is the only source known that can satisfy the needs of the agency. Authority: 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, only one or a limited number of responsible sources and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(A), the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within thirty (30) days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In accordance with FAR 5.206, Notice of Subcontracting Opportunities, the information regarding this effort is posted in this synopsis. Interested sources should contact Mercer Engineering Research Center for subcontracting possibilities. Any other questions should be directed to the buyer/PCO identified below. If your concerns are not satisfied by the Contracting Officer, an Ombudsman has been appointed to hear serious concerns that are not resolved through established channels. The purpose of the Ombudsman is not to diminish the authority of the contracting officer, but to communicate serious contractor concerns, issues, disagreements and recommendations to the appropriate government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals in the source selection process. When appropriate, potential offerors may contact the Ombudsman, Kim McDonald, at 478-222-1088. All responsible sources may submit a quote which shall be considered by the agency. Solicitation will be uploaded to Federal Business Opportunities (FBO). Task Descriptions and applicable Contract Data Requirements Lists will be uploaded to FBO with the solicitation. Request for written proposal in response to written solicitation. Anticipated RFP RELEASE DATE: To Be Determined (TBD) Anticipated RESPONSE DATE: TBD. Anticipated/Estimated Award Date: TBD.
