- Questions And Answers REVISED - RFI for USN Display Systems and Peripheral Equipment Production and Engineering Services The purpose of this amendment is to revise the subject RFI to extend the submission deadline, to increase the page limit on industry responses, and to provide answers to questions submitted by industry. ********************************************************* Request for Information for USN Display Systems and Peripheral Equipment Production and Engineering Services RFI Description: This is a Request for Information (RFI) as defined in FAR 15.201(e). The Government is requesting information regarding industry's capabilities and related experience for engineering and production of the Navy's future display systems and peripherals for FY 2020 through FY 2025. The primary efforts include: 1. Production of display and peripheral equipment, ancillary equipment and spares Technology Insertion (TI) 16 2. Engineering services to update and maintain the TI 16 Technical Data Package (TDP) 3. Engineering services to provide technical data for the follow-on TI 16 TDP The USN program provides the human machine interface to allow operators access to their mission applications and related cameras, remote displays and printers. This is shipboard tactical equipment which meets Navy Surface Ship Environmental Qualification Requirements for installation aboard US and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) ships to include cruisers, destroyers, frigates, amphibious command, amphibious transport, and aircraft carriers. The Government anticipates a majority of the work to be performed at the contractor's site. The applicable NAICS code is 334511, Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. RFI Purpose: For this RFI, the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), Program Executive Office Integrated Warfare Systems (PEO IWS) would like to gauge industry interest and capability in providing production and engineering for the USN's future display and peripheral equipment and for industry to identify barriers to their participation in a future competitive procurement. The Navy estimates that the engineering services required will total less than five percent (<5%) of the total proposed cost during the period of performance. PEO IWS is interested in the full potential of industry responses including small businesses. The scope of work requires demonstrated experience with the production, integration, assembly, test, design, and logistical support for display systems and peripheral equipment. Due to the nature of this requirement, the company will need to demonstrate the required level of technical expertise and the production capability necessary to deliver the fully tested equipment on time to meet shipyard schedules. Interested parties shall address the following in the RFI submission: 1. Company Information a. Provide company name, address, DUNS number, CAGE code, tax identification number, designated representative name(s) and point of contact, including phone numbers and e-mail addresses. b. Provide number of employees employed by company, and annual revenue/receipts for the last 3 completed company fiscal years. c. Identify contracts within the last five (5) years with similar scope and provide brief overview of company responsibilities. d. If a small business, identify type of small business (e.g. 8(a), Hubzone, service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or women-owned). 2. Required Experience and Performance Capability a. Production of display and peripheral equipment for the USN TI 16 If a contract is awarded, the company will be provided a USN TDP for TI 16 first article build, test and subsequent full-rate production. Please provide an overview of your company's experience and capabilities for producing shipboard equipment, including specific experience in tactical displays and peripheral equipment using a Government provided TDP. The overview should describe current or past contracts providing: i. Display consoles, both air and water-cooled, ii. Thin Client Displays, iii. Workstation Printers, iv. Video Wall Assemblies, v. Remote Cameras, and vi. Miscellaneous hardware to include keyboards, trackballs, hand controllers, joysticks, Variable Action Button, foot switches, push-to-talk (PTT) switches, and headsets. Interested companies must also summarize their experience working under USN or DoD contracts and production capacity to support the following activities. i. Managing all design and production aspects of a display and peripheral equipment production program. ii. Providing systems engineering to design, develop, test, qualify, produce, deliver and support displays and peripherals as well as other related hardware. iii. Conducting formal design and test reviews in accordance with the PEO IWS/NAVSEA 05H Technical Requirements Manual (TRM). iv. Implementing and maintaining a Configuration Management (CM) program in accordance with NAVSEAINST 4130.12B. v. Managing obsolescence to include a Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) plan and metrics. vi. Implementing and maintaining a Reliability, Maintainability and Quality Assurance (RMQA) program. vii. Planning and implementing a production program. viii.
