- Description
- Request for Information (RFI) The Naval Air Systems Command, PMA-265 (Program Office for F/A-18 Aircraft), is soliciting information from industry to determine potential contractors who have the skills, experience, qualifications, and knowledge required to perform a one-time Life of Type Buy (LoTB) for Advanced Capability Mission Computer (ACMC) obsolete parts (no future procurement of these parts will occur) to support EA-18G retrofit and the planned USMC High Order Language (HOL) Upgrade program. The Intel 10G Ethernet Switch Microcircuit (ESM) and the Advanced Micro Devices M54 Graphics Processor, used in the ACMC, are no longer supported by their respective suppliers. Authorization to conduct Life of Type procurement is needed to preserve current configuration. FMS participation includes RAAF. The ACMC is Contractor Furnished Equipment (CFE) for the EA-18G production aircraft beginning with late Lot 38 deliveries. The US Government does not have full data rights. Any responding contractors will be responsible for obtaining the necessary data from Boeing. THIS SYNOPSIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP), BUT RATHER A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) from industry that will allow the Government to identify interested sources capable of meeting the requirements as stated in this synopsis. This RFI is issued solely for market research, planning and information purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to enter into a contractual agreement, nor will the Government pay for information solicited hereunder. There is no commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award, or be responsible for any monies expended by any interested parties in support of the effort mentioned above. Vendors can additionally provide a capabilities statement of no more than 1 page in length that demonstrates the respondent's ability to meet the requirements as specified herein, including the delivery schedule requirements. The Government is interested in receiving vendors' commercial published price lists for items they believe meet the need in this RFI. The Government is also interested in lead-time and current stock level. All data received in response to this RFI, marked or designated as corporate or proprietary, will be fully protected from release outside the Government. Failure to respond to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future associated RFP that may be issued. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit or award a contract. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website: www.fbo.gov. It is the potential offeror's responsibility to monitor this site for the release of any follow-on information. All responses, including capability statements, shall be submitted no later than 3:30 PM EST, 7 March 2017. Responses shall be submitted electronically to the designated Contract Specialist, Hannah Bulynko, in Microsoft Word format or Portable Document Format (PDF) at the following email address: hannah.bulynko@navy.mil. Please submit any questions regarding this synopsis to Hannah Bulynko via e-mail to hannah.bulynko@navy.mil.
