- INTRODUCTION The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), in support of PMA209 Air Combat Electronics Program Office, is seeking information from the vendor community on Common Electronic Standby Indicators (CESI) and Magnetometers, associated engineering services, integration support and repair of repairable (ROR) in support of the Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) program's platform installations conducted by the Government. THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. It is a market research tool being used to determine potential and eligible businesses capable of providing the supplies/services described herein prior to determining the method of acquisition and issuance of a Request for Proposal. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this announcement. DISCLAIMER THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT.

NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. PROGRAM BACKGROUND Avionics upgrades to Naval Aviation platforms are required to ensure compliance with current CNS/ATM requirements. These upgrades and improvements to the aircrew systems demand an increase in the processing and display capabilities beyond the current legacy capabilities inherent to analog instruments and gauges. The CESI and the Magnetometer Weapons Replaceable Assemblies (WRAs) meet the processing and projected growth requirements for CNS/ATM and mission specific requirements. The CESI serves as a backup flight display for the pilot or co-pilot on both fixed wing and rotary wing platforms. The Magnetometer provides magnetic heading information. As such the CESI provides a vital operational capability to support the digital cockpit of these platforms. ELIGIBILITY The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 336413 with a Small Business Size Standard in number of employees 1,250. The Product Service Code for this requirement is K059. REQUIRED CAPABILITIES CESI At a minimum, the CESI shall have the following general characteristics: •· - Integral air data and altitude sensors •· - Internal non-volatile memory capable of storing platform unique configuration data including: • Platform Identification • Static Source Error Correction (SSEC) curves • Display format defaults • Maximum velocity • Interface data presets • Instrument panel offset angle(s) relative to aircraft centerline •· - ARINC-429 digital serial data input and output channels •· - RS422 Input/Output •· - Built-In-Test (BIT) capabilities •· - Front-mounted barometric setting control transmitted on ARINC-429 output channel(s) •· - Suitable for "plug and play" installation not requiring additional effort or installation in US Navy and Coast Guard aircraft cockpits, including the C-2A, E-2C, TE-2C, HC-130H, CH-53E and the MH-53E •· - Nominal Size - H - 3.18", W - 3.18", L - 9.015" •· - Able to be powered by 28VDC external battery •· - Able to accept input from magnetometer in below section •· - Compliant with the Night Vision Imaging System NVIS requirements of MIL-L-85762A •· - Capable of alignment by using external platform data, while on Aircraft Carriers underway, at Sea States 1-10 Magnetometer The Magnetometer is a single WRA that provides aircraft magnetic heading information to the CESI. At a minimum, the magnetometer shall have the following general characteristics: •· - Provide magnetic heading sensor information for use by the CESI as described above •· - Internal leveling •· - RS-422 digital serial data input and output channels •· - BIT and reporting capabilities Operating Software The Contractor shall deliver the CESI and Magnetometer with CNS/ATM developed operating software pre-installed. WARRANTY Engineering Investigations (EI) and ROR; the contractor shall provide at a minimum a standard 12-month Commercial Warranty for the CESI and Magnetometer. The respective warranties for both units shall provide for the repair or replacement of a failed unit. Failure is defined as a condition that prevents the unit from performing within its intended operation scope. The contractor shall repair or replace all warranted items and return them to the designated Government facility. REPAIR AND ENGINEERING SERVICES The contractor shall describe engineering and technical services available to support product integration and engineering investigations.
