- Description
- This Sources Sought notice is being posted to satisfy the requirement of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) (PGI) 206.302-1(d). The Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD), Port Hueneme, California, intends to issue a sole source Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to Lockheed Martin Mission Systems & Training, Manassas, VA for In Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) design engineering and Integrated Logistics Support including engineering, research, specialized technical support services and interdependent integration of the legacy Advanced Display Systems, which also includes occasional and/or intermittent RDT & E effort, logistics and material management for repair, modification, overhaul, replacement, and fleet support. General Scope of Work : The AN/UYQ-70 ADVANCED DISPLAY SYSTEM (Q-70 ADS -or- Q-70 -or- ADS) is a continuously evolving family of display, processor, and network systems, designed to satisfy a wide spectrum of mission critical and mission essential applications. In conjunction with this objective, it is concurrently a Software Operating Environment built to comply with Open Architecture (OA) standards, incorporating functionally modular designs comprised of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS)/Non-Developmental Item (NDI) software and hardware components. These components integrate together using industry-accepted software and communication interface standards IAW Prime Item Development Specifications (PIDS). This OA approach using COTS/NDI products and industry interface standards allows for reduced development time, reduced non-recurring and recurring costs and shortened procurement schedules, as well as timely technology upgrades at the component, module, and system levels which hosts and executes customer combat and weapon systems (i.e., ACDS, AWS, CEC, C2P, SGS, E-2C) application software to provide the required operational display, peripheral processor, and network requirements, and advanced capabilities. Additionally, it is a System Integrator Support Structure, which includes CDVD / PBL, obsolescence management and ILS for the Q-70 Equipment. Q-70 equipment is installed on numerous classes of surface ships, submarines, and E-2C aircraft throughout the USN & FMS Fleet. ISEA engineering, logistics and technical support services include but are not limited to US Navy, US Coast Guard, equipment of foreign navies (under Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Cases) with travel consisting to both CONUS and OCONUS destinations. Work will apply to equipment including sub-assemblies, operating systems, and computers. This also includes provisions of spares, repair of components and assemblies; upgrading technical refresh kits including Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) product change development; production and installation, software maintenance and upgrades, equipment refurbishment, in-service engineering and field services, reliability engineering, failure mode effects and criticality analysis and redesign, commercial component; and obsolescence management including vendor monitoring, replacement qualification, testing, and ILS product updates. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC-PHD) has been assigned as the In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) for the AEGIS Weapon System (AWS). A prospective BOA will provide for engineering, logistics and limited production services required to provide Legacy Life-Cycle In-Service Support for Q-70 equipment primarily integrated into the AWS, as well as other such combat and weapon systems as may be approved by the U.S. Navy Program Executive Office for Integrated Weapons Systems, Integrated Combat Systems Directorate (PEO IWS1).
