- Description
- This is a Request for Information (RFI). This is a Sources Sought Technical Description to determine the availability and technical capability of small businesses to provide the required products/services. This is not a Request for Proposals. Responses in any form are not offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this Notice. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Notice or otherwise pay any person's costs incurred responding to this Notice. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is conducting a sources sought action for the procurement of services in support of the Heavy Lift Helicopters Program Office. PMA-261, a program under the Program Executive Officer, Air ASW Assault and Special Missions Programs, supports multiple H-53 variants including the CH-53E, MH-53E and the CH-53K helicopters. The H-53 assault support missions include the lift and movement of cargo and troops/passengers; the tactical recovery of downed or damaged aircraft; and the lift of heavy, bulky equipment and supplies by external suspension. The In-Service (ISV) variants (CH-53E and MH-53E) have numerous modification programs. The aircraft inventories to be modified vary by Operational, Safety, and Improvement Program, depending upon kit modification production lead-time. The CH-53E has a seven blade main rotor and a four-blade canted tail rotor, and is powered by three T64-GE-416/416A/419 turbo shaft engines. The CH-53E is capable of both land and ship based transport of heavy equipment, supplies, and personnel. The MH-53E is similar to the CH-53E with additional capabilities for Airborne Mine Countermeasures, Vertical On-Board Delivery, and Special Missions that require a longer range and more precise navigation than the CH-53E. The overall goal of the modifications is: increased communication and navigation; integrated mechanical diagnostics and condition-based maintenance, propulsion and power; degraded visual environment mitigation; survivability and sustainment initiatives; and fleet operation and safety performance in the H-53E community. The CH-53K is an ACAT 1D program in Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) with Full Rate Production planned for Fiscal Year 2019. PMA-261 programs range from the System Development and Demonstration phase to the Operations and Support phase. There are multiple Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) and functional areas that are supported by this effort. The requirement is to provide program management, acquisition management, administrative, financial management, and technical services support for the H-53 research, development, test and evaluation; procurement; and sustainment project execution. Tasks required by PMA-261 include support for programmatic milestones, management and technical reviews, requirements analysis, and cost performance. Program Management support may include: Track deliverables and perform analysis of both CH-53K and In-Service programs for cost, schedule and performance data related to aircraft modifications, kit procurement/installation and aircraft production. Perform affordability analysis for kit production, track kit delivery and installation efforts for impacts to schedule and aircraft availability. Develop supporting documentation for spend plans to be incorporated into team work plans and data calls. Collect, compile and analyze project, and cost data for incorporation into team work plans, data calls, financial addendum, budgetary support documentation, and other financial sheets. Acquisition Management support may include: Provide acquisition support services to include financial analysis of projected and actual H-53 modification costs, Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) and Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) costs for retrofit aircraft integration efforts, logistics support strategies, and training requirements. Perform analysis of contract schedules and provide recommendations on how to reduce cost and schedule risk. Support management and technical reviews, evaluate results and provide recommendations to each area of the program. Technical support may include: Provide configuration management services for monitoring production, deliveries, cost and financial data. Provide configuration management support services in the analysis, evaluation, and tracking of CH-53K configuration baselines and status. Monitor and report on the technical progress, schedule, alternative and work around procedures and recommend areas of improvement for each program. Evaluate program requirements, perform research, support the Integrated Digital Environment (IDE), Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) process, configuration management, perform technical analysis, and provide technical recommendations. Provide system administrative support to include SharePoint site management, logical and physical system design and reviews. Prepare system documents and specifications. Conduct technical research on system upgrades to determine feasibility, cost, time required, and compatibility with system. Provide administration of complex areas of the network, security analysis and planning. Administrative support may include: Provide administrative and technical services requirements in support of the Operations Team and financial and project management of the H-53 in support of development, production, fleet aircraft maintenance and operations, and the integration of the CH-53K. This includes the collection and coordination of data, the analysis of technical requirements, and the preparation of documentation that will be used in support of production aircraft and In-Service Fleet aircraft. Provide scheduling, calendar coordination and management support on H-53 development and integration projects. Provide technical and administrative support for development and integration meetings on H-53 projects. Perform incoming and outgoing correspondence preparation and dissemination (e.g. letters, naval messages) and maintain an archive of documents for CH-53K development and integration projects. Financial Management support may include: Perform business financial management services at the project level, to include analysis of requirements, efforts required for project execution, preparation of draft budget plans, financial analysis, and cost trade-off assessments and provide options to Government for further review and consideration. The Contractor shall utilize the most appropriate methodology for the drafting of project cost estimates; using cost data that is of pertinent interest to H-53 development and integration project stakeholders given current project status. Perform financial analyses on project requirements to support aircraft modification efforts and provide alternative acquisition strategies for Government consideration with objectives to support the implementation of these systems/capabilities during the execution phase. Collect and assess project level cost and financial records, supporting budget estimation and execution and creating budget documents for Government release. Perform an analysis of Total Ownership Cost (TOC) and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and provide to Government personnel for consideration and possible further action. Assess and analyze obligations and expenditures, and support Government personnel by reviewing the aircraft OEM's spend rate, costs, and schedule compliance and provide status to Government for review.
