In accordance with (IAW) FAR 15.201(e), responses to this RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any costs associated with the preparation or submission of the information requested. All costs associated with responding to the RFI will be solely at the responding party's expense. The Government reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part, any contractor's input resulting from this RFI. This RFI does not constitute a solicitation for proposal or the authority to enter into negotiations to award a contract. No funds have been authorized, appropriated, or received for this contemplated effort. The information provided may be used by the Services in developing an acquisition strategy, a statement of work (SOW), statement of objectives (SOO), or performance specifications. Some information resulting from this RFI may eventually be included in one or more RFPs, which will be released to industry. Any subsequent actions resulting from the evaluation of the information provided in response to the RFI may be synopsized at a future date. If synopsized, information detailing the specific requirements of this procurement will be included. DESCRIPTION. The 96th Range Squadron Support (96 RANSS), in conjunction with the Air Force Test Center (AFTC) at Eglin AFB, FL, is seeking technical information to support the procurement of the next generation of Airborne Data Recorders (ADR), Ground Recorder Systems (GRS), and Data Replay Systems (DRS), titled AFTC Instrumentation Recording and Replay System FA2487-16-R-0148. The Air Force is also seeking a capability to issue Multi-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with a ordering period of a five years. Information is being collected from all potential sources who can supply all or some of the various configurations to all or some of the ADR, GRS, and DRS requirements. Three (3) Statements of Work (SOW) are available, however the three (3) comprehensive draft Technical Requirements Document (TRD) are exclusively available to DoD contractors certified under the Defense Logistic Agencies (DLA) Joint Certification Program (JCP). Certification under the JCP establishes the eligibility of a U.S. or Canadian contractor to technical data governed, in the U.S., by DoD Directive 5230.25 and, in Canada, by the Technical Data Control Regulations (TDCR). A certification is required by U.S. or Canadian contractors that wish to obtain access to unclassified technical data disclosing militarily critical technology with military or space application that is under the control of, or in the possession of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) or the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND). Contractors must submit a DD Form 2345 to the U.S./Canada Joint Certification Office, along with a copy of the company's State/Provincial License, Incorporation Certificate, Sales Tax Identification Form or other documentation which verifies the legitimacy of the company. For copies of the TRD, please email the points of contact identified below with proof of certification. Companies providing information should provide sufficient written information to indicate their capacity and capability to provide the various configurations in each of the TRDs. The NAICS Code assigned to this acquisition is 334511 Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,250 persons. Firms responding to this announcement should include their size in relation to this size standard along with the company name, cage code, point of contact, and address.

The Government reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based upon responses hereto for any subsequent action. All prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database to be awarded a DoD contract. No set-aside decision has been made. Note that a key factor in determining an acquisition to be a Small Business Set Aside is that small business prime contractors must perform at least 50% of the effort, as defined in FAR Clause 52.219-14 CAPABILITIES STATEMENT. All interested vendors shall submit a capabilities statement that demonstrates their capability to provide the various configurations for all three systems. The capabilities statement should be brief and concise, yet clearly demonstrate an ability to meet the stated requirement. Small businesses with only partial capabilities of this requirement are encouraged to submit their capabilities statement demonstrating the portion of the requirement they are capable of providing/performing. This information will allow the Government to identify areas of possible breakout or possible subcontracting opportunities. Capabilities Statements shall include, but not limited to, the following information: A. Company name, mailing address, Cage code, DUNS number, point of contact (POC), POC telephone number and e- mail address. B.
