- Description
- CVN 80 EMALS AAG Industry Day Agenda The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and PMA 251 Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE) program office tentatively plan to conduct a full and open competition for build-to-print production, manufacture, assembly, test, installation support, and management of the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) Production Program for the future USS Enterprise (CVN 80), the third ship in the Navy's Ford-class of aircraft carriers. NAVAIR is also considering competitive or sole source award of separate contracts for specific EMALS and AAG components. In order to assess industry interest and obtain feedback for this requirement, an Industry Day will be held 22-24 March 2016 at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, in Lakehurst, New Jersey. In case of inclement weather, Industry Day may be postponed until 5-7 April 2016. A detailed agenda for the event will be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities website no later than 15 March 2016. Companies interested in attending the Industry Day are required to register by 8 March 2016 via an interactive electronic form at: https://251events.wufoo.com/forms/wcg30y10r4276r/. The registration form must be completed by each individual attending in order to gain access to the base on the day of the event. On Tuesday, 22 March 2016, a general session open to all interested companies will be conducted from 0800 to 1000. A maximum of five participants per company for the general session will be permitted. This general session will address an overview of the EMALS and AAG systems, and some of the subsystems and components that may be procured under separate contracts, including Motor Generators, Launch Motor Modules, PCS Inverter Enclosures, Transformer/Rectifiers, Electric Motors, Water Twisters, Purchase Cable Drums, Mechanical Brakes, Cable Shock Absorbers, and/or HealthMAP. Tours of the ALRE Future Systems test sites will be conducted by subject matter experts after the general session on 22 March 2016. On Wednesday, 23 March 2016 and, if necessary, Thursday, 24 March 2016, companies interested in prime contracts at the system or component level will be afforded the opportunity for one-on-one discussions with the Government. Companies must state their interest in one-on-one sessions when completing the electronic form discussed above. The Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) will provide the specific time, location and base access instructions for the one-on-one sessions by 15 March 2016. The one-on-one sessions will be limited to one hour per prime contractor. A maximum of five participants for the one-on-one sessions will be permitted. Companies that register for the one-on-one sessions are requested to provide an UNCLASSIFIED briefing package to Al Hensler at Alfred.hensler@navy.mil no later than 15 March 2016. Please also bring ten (10) hardcopies of the briefing package for the Government. Companies' one-on-one presentations will address the ability of the company and its subcontracting team to manufacture the system or one or more of the specific components from a Government specification and build-to-print drawing package. At a minimum, it is expected that the briefing package will address: • Manufacturing capability (facility size, throughput capacity, previous Government projects (prime/sub), commercial projects, Critical Safety Item (CSI) capability/results, etc...) • Manpower - number of employees; applicable skillsets of employees (e.g. qualified welders); organizational structure; specialized skills in process improvement; training programs; Resource Management • Machines - Capabilities (description of equipment and number of years of use); examples or data illustrating ability to successfully achieve required drawing tolerances; calibration programs; inspection methods • Material - Supplier management and purchasing (methods/systems for choosing/monitoring/rating suppliers); Is the purchasing system a DoD-approved system? What processes govern the purchasing process and what ensures efficient and accurate requirements development for the suppliers? What processes and procedures ensure products received from suppliers are conforming and timely? What system is used to plan material resources in the organization? • Methods - QMS Certifications; Process Control Methods (e.g. SPC Process Prove out, PPAP, inspection sampling plan); Non-conformance process (with examples); Root Cause and Corrective Action Process (with examples); Continuous Process Improvement; Configuration Management; Records Management; Special Process Certifications; software quality certifications (CMMI Level); training certifications (i.e. welding, etc.) • Measurement - Data collection i.e. organizational QMS health metrics (e.g. type inspection data, cycle time); data analysis; actions taken from this data; Does the organization track DPPM or DPMO? If so, what are the trends of this metric over the past five years (and if five years is not available to the extent the data is available)? • Milieu (Environment or Mother Nature) - Facilities (e.g. location, size, infrastructure); manufacturing capacity (utilization and efficiencies); and planning. Furthermore, please be sure to adhere to the following guidelines: • On 22 March 2016, arrive and park your vehicle at The Cathedral of the Air located at 264 Hope Chapel Road, Lakehurst, NJ 08733 no later than 7:45 a.m. You must be aboard a designated bus to enter the base; buses will depart promptly at 8 a.m. • On 23 and 24 March 2016, no bus transportation will be provided • Each company may send no more than five representatives, and attendance is limited to employees of current United States (U.S.) Department of Defense (DoD) contractors (companies that currently have a contract with the U.S. DoD) • U.S. citizenship is required • Each attendee must present a state or federally-issued photo ID • Absolutely NO electronic devices will be permitted • Closed-toe shoes and appropriate clothing are required to participate in site tours • Lunch not provided; participants returned to arrival location For contact and/or questions prior to the event: NAVAIR_HQ_PMA_251_ALRE_CVN80__Industry_Day@NAVY.MIL Regarding logistics for the day of the event, points of contact are Bob Burrus: (732) 685-6204 or Erica Skurzewski: (301) 247-4898 All questions should be directed to the PMA 251 Procuring Contracting Officer, Al Hensler, at alfred.hensler@navy.mil.
