- Description
- This is a Request for Information (RFI) synopsis for written information only. The United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) have a requirement to perform off-aircraft performance testing on turbofan engines (F402, F404, F405, & F414), turboshaft engines (T64 & T700), turboprop engines (T56-425, T56-427, T56-427A, T56-14 & T56-16) and auxiliary power units (T62T-40/40-1, GTCP36-150, T62T-11/27, GTCP36-201C, GTC36-200, GTCP95 Series & GTS �MKIV) across multiple Navy and Marine Corps aircraft in both fixed and mobile shore based facilities worldwide. Additionally, turbofan engine test capability is required aboard all USN aircraft carriers and is performed on the carrier�s fantail. The Navy and Marine Corps currently have three (3) Engine Test Instrumentation (ETI) system variants to support turbofan, turboshaft and turboprop engines with unique Test Program Sets (TPSs) developed for each engine using National Instruments LabVIEW 2016. The current Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) support solution is currently analog base with unique APU control and input/output adapters. The Naval Air Systems Command PMA260 Propulsion Integrated Product Team located in Lakehurst NJ is seeking information about the capabilities of industry to provide a replacement capability for the current USN and USMC suite of Turbofan, Turboshaft and Turboprop Engine Test Instrumentation (ETI) systems and APU solutions. The total inventory of 56 engine test cells is planned to be replaced to include 11 aircraft carrier mounted, 21 shore based fixed, 24 shore based mobile and 15 mobile auxiliary power unit facilities. Request for Information Information is sought from industry regarding off-aircraft engine performance testing capabilities. Please provide the following information about any ETI capabilities or technologies either under development or that is a product or combination of products supplied by your company or organization to other Department of Defense (DoD) or foreign military services, Navy aircraft depots or commercial industry. We are requesting the following details: 1. A general description of your ETI product(s)/technology, your approach for integrating your products and technologies into a common suite of USN and USMC ETI systems and projected lead times and rough order of magnitude development and production costs for a potential future acquisition. 2. A description of your approach to maximize commonality across your existing or planned turbofan jet, turboshaft, turboprop and APU ETI systems to reduce life cycle support and sustainment costs. 3. An overview of your approach to obsolescence management to ensure that any newly fielded ETI system would be sustainable and supportable over a minimum life cycle of twenty (20) to twenty-five (25) years. 4. An overview of your strategy/technology for developing engine specific TPSs and your approach/ability to re-host existing National Instruments LabVIEW 2016 engine TPSs on your current or planned ETI system. 5. An overview of the suitability of your existing or planned ETI system to be operated and maintained in the Fleet intermediate maintenance level environment both ashore and afloat. Please provide results of any environmental, electromagnetic interference, shock or vibration testing that your ETI equipment has undergone. 6. An overview of how your existing or planned ETI system would meet DoD Cyber hardening requirements and how you would implement DoD Cyber hardening requirements over the life cycle of your existing or planned ETI system. 7. An overview of your ETI System support maintenance philosophy including any maintenance manuals if available to support an organic maintenance strategy or service support agreements or Performance Based Logistics (PBL) support contracts for a contractor maintenance strategy. 8. An overview of your strategy/approach for implementing future upgrades to your ETI system to support additional aircraft engines such as the F135 turbofan engine and T408 turboshaft engine. 9. An overview of your ETI System concept of operations including any operator�s manual or calibration procedures for any developed or fielded systems if available. 10. If applicable, provide information about any DoD contracts for your ETI products and what if any data products were developed and provided to the government. Any commercial contracts or testimonials are also welcome. Please provide points of contact for any of these references. 11. Provide information about your company/organization including a brief description of your company/organization, whether you are a small or large business, 8A status, hub zone status, veteran/women owned status and any past or present Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) awards related to your ETI system products or technologies. 12. Provide any pertinent product datasheets. 13. Provide any additional information you think would be useful to consider in this RFI. It is requested that information be submitted NO LATER THAN 07 June 2021 to Mr. Domenick Davino, Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Code BL34100 B562-3, Route 547, Joint Base MDL, NJ 08733-5000, by electronic mail at: domenick.davino@navy.mil. Mr. Davino may be reached at 240-577-8088. Respondents are notified that there is no solicitation package available, and a formal solicitation MAY NOT necessarily result from the RFI. No promise of a contract award is implied and respondents are not being asked to submit cost proposals. Any comments provided may or may not be included in a formal solicitation. The Government WILL NOT PAY for any information received in response to this RFI nor will the Government compensate any respondent with costs incurred in developing the information provided to the Government. The Government will not release any information marked with a Proprietary legend, received in response to this RFI, to any firms, agencies, or individuals outside the Government without written permission in accordance with the legend.
