- Air Force Subscale Aerial Targets (AFSAT), Peculiar Spares Listing BQM-167 Air Force Subscale Aerial Target (AFSAT) Program Peculiar Spare Notice of Contract Action (NOCA) - Air Force Subscale Aerial Targets (AFSAT) - Peculiar Spares ordering through 31 December 2018. The Department of Defense, United States Air Force (USAF), Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Armament Director, Testing and Training Division, Aerial Targets Branch, Eglin AFB FL is planning to award in FY 17 a sole source effort to Composite Engineering Inc. (CEi), located at 5381 Raley Blvd, Sacramento, CA 92632 for procurement of peculiar spares in support of the BQM-167 AFSAT Program. Spare components are needed to ensure availability of AFSATs to meet current and projected test and evaluation and training mission requirements. The Air Force currently procures the BQM-167A target, produced by Composite Engineering Inc. (CEi), to meet this need. The Government does not own a technical data package for the BQM-167A target system or its peculiar support equipment and therefore cannot provide this data to interested parties. Schedule is critical for the procurement and delivery of spares, and any potential source must be able to deliver these items within the required timeframe to meet critical mission requirements. Potential sources must be capable of providing all the spare items required (~250 unique items in total), not a subset. CEi is be able to meet the required time frames and is capable of providing all, not just a subset, of the spares items required. Spare components to be procured include, but are not limited, to the items listed in Attachment #1: The Government intends to award delivery orders under an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract that will allow ordering of peculiar spares through 31 December 2018, to meet ongoing spares requirements. Potential offerors who are capable of meeting the Air Force's spare requirements and delivery schedules are invited to submit a Statement of Capability (SOC). The offeror's SOC shall clearly demonstrate that: (1) it is capable of producing the spare components within the delivery lead times specified, (2) the delivered spare components are produced in compliance with "International Standard ISO 9001, Quality Management Systems Requirements, and (3) spare components delivered will meet form, fit, and performance requirements for physical and functional compatibility with the BQM-167A aerial target system to include target and associated support equipment. The SOC shall be limited to 25 pages including attachments and Contractor's format is acceptable. Responses are requested by 31 May 2017. The appropriate North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this proposed acquisition is 336413 Other Aircraft Part and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The Government has determined that the only way to prevent any adverse impact to critical mission activities that could result from a break in the continuous availability of sub-scale aerial targets is to issue delivery orders to the incumbent vendor. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. This NOCA neither constitutes a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor does it restrict the Government to any specific acquisition approach. This NOCA is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment to a contract by the Government. Contracting POC is Belva Marie Parton at 207 West D Avenue, Suite 626, Building 349, Eglin AFB, FL 32542-6008 or at b.parton@us.af.mil. An Ombudsman has been appointed to hear concerns from offerors or potential offerors. The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program manager or contracting officer but communicates contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals or in the source selection process. Matters of routine or administrative nature concerning this acquisition should not be addressed to the Ombudsman but rather to the Contracting points of contact identified in the paragraph below at the end of this document. The Ombudsman is Lt Col Kenneth Decker, AFLCMC/AQ-AZ, located at 1790 10th St., Wright Patterson AFB, FL 45433.
