- •1.0 Description The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) in support of PMA-261 H-53 Heavy Lift Helicopter Program Office, announces its intention to procure, on a competitive basis among businesses, a replacement for the NP-600A Engine Test Set. The contract is anticipated to be Fixed-Priced contract type. The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is 336412 with a Small Business Size Standard of 1,000. The Product Service Code (PSC) is 2850. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to award a contract as a result of this announcement. Further, the Navy is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Respondents are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the expense of interested party. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor this website for additional information pertaining to this requirement. INFORMATION PROVIDED HEREIN IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND IN NO WAY BINDS THE GOVERNMENT TO SOLICIT OR AWARD A CONTRACT. •2.0 Background The H-53 helicopter is the USMC/USN's primary helicopter for cargo and assault support and mine sweeping, and is managed by PMA-261. It has three T64 engines and a seven blade main rotor. The General Electric (GE) T64 turboshaft free-turbine engine is a mature engine introduced in the early 1960's on the H-53 helicopter. The NP-600A has been in service in support of the H-53 since the 1980s. The H-53E fleet requires a replacement for this test set that will interface with the T64. The respondent should address its ability to deliver and support an engine test set that possesses the following characteristics: Overall Requirements: •- Test set shall be capable of measuring Variable Geometry Vane angles on T64 engines. •- Test set shall display stage 1 variable vane angle, engine compressor speed (Ng), and ambient temperature (TAMB - engine inlet temperature) concurrently •- Test set shall meet calibration systems requirements per MIL-STD-45662 (ISO-10012-1 or ANSI-Z540-1). •- Test set shall be capable of operating on either a 28 VDC or 115 VAC at 400 Hz. •- Test set shall utilize mil-spec connectors to interface with aircraft and sensor cables. •- Test set shall be EMI/ESD hardened qualified to standards such as MIL-STD-461F and MIL-PRF-28800F. •- Test set shall be able to operate in the harsh shipboard/flightline environment. •- Test set display shall be readable in low to bright ambient light conditions. TAMB Requirements •- The system shall interface with current TAMB probe. •- The resistance of probe shall correlate to the temperature. •- The resistance temperature detector (RTD) shall have a range of 76-134 ohms. •- The system shall be able to measure a temperature range of -60 to 85 degrees Celsius. •- The system shall have a maximum tolerance of 0.4 degrees Celsius. Vane Angle Indications •- The system shall interface with current Variable Geometry Vane Angle Sensing Tool. The system shall read angles from -90 degree to 90 degrees. •- The system shall be able to zero the indicator at 41.5 degrees. •- Clockwise rotation shall cause an increase in angle degrees •- Counterclockwise shall cause a decrease in angle degrees •- The system shall have a maximum tolerance of 0.5 degrees. •- The system shall have an excitation voltage of 20.0 VAC to 28.0 VAC RMS. •- The system shall have an excitation frequency of 360 Hz to 440 Hz. •- The displayed vane angle shall correlate to the position synchro signal. RPM Requirements •- The system shall measure rotational speed of the compressor (Ng) in RPM from 0 to 120%. The system shall have a maximum tolerance of 0.2%. •- The system shall be able to receive an input signal of 3-84 Hz at 3 VAC. •- The system input signal frequency shall correlate to the RPM. •3.0 Requested Information As a result of this RFI, NAVAIR expects to receive a Letter of Intent (LOI) from each interested respondent and a concept summary, which contains a detailed description in paragraph 2.0 written from a system solution perspective and outlines development concepts that ensures maximum utilization of infrastructure and platform integration elements that already exist. Prospective Offerors' should explain how they are able to work with the Government and the aircraft manufacturer to integrate the proposed into the H-53 program. 4.0 Responses International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). If the respondent is a foreign concern or if a US respondent has a team member or partner who is a foreign entity, adherence to all ITAR regulations is required. In order to receive classified information pertinent to this RFI, responding parties must submit an unclassified Letter of Intent (LOI), not to exceed twenty single-spaced pages, 12 point font minimum, in either Microsoft Word or Portable Document Format (PDF) to Kathie Bartz ( Kathie.bartz@navy.mil ) no later than 5:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) 11 December 2015.
