- Description
- We are conducting market research to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS). The JHMCS is a multi-service helmet mounted cueing and display system which provides a high off-boresight (HOBS) weapons cueing capability for United States Air Force (USAF)/ United States Navy (USN)/ Foreign Military Sales (FMS) aircraft. The JHMCS is a highly sophisticated and specialized human mounted avionics system. The system gives the user first-look, first-shot, air-to-air, and air-to-ground weapons and sensor cueing that allow eyes out of the cockpit targeting within the visual range arena. Rockwell Collins ESA Vision Systems, LLC (RCEVS) is the designer, developer, and manufacturer of these items and the only source with adequate knowledge of the JHMCS performance requirements and capabilities to accomplish this requirement. RCEVS owns the required technical data and is the only source with the knowledge to produce the JHMCS items and ensure compatibility of the equipment. Given the system includes both aircraft and life support aircrew components, any change to the system or system support requires extensive coordination and testing to include ejection testing for aircrew item changes. DLA Aviation intends to award a sole source contract to RCEVS for JHMCS consumable and Depot Level Reparable (DLR) items and support equipment sole source to this contractor in support of the F-15, F-16 and F-18 aircraft for USAF/USN/FMS. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 17 Jun 2015 to Dena Browning, dena.browning@us.af.mil. The Government intends to procure these items using Other Than Full and Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1, Only One responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
