R -- PEACEKEEPER POST BOOST VEHICLES SOL F42610-95-R-AAAAV POC For copy, Steve Woodward/Lmke/(801)777-3551, For additional information contact Steve Woodward/Lmke/(801)777-3551 Item 0001 Continuous Engineering and Technical Services This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought synopsis. The following information is provided to do a Market Survey of Industry to see if there are any potential contractors, in addition to Rockwell International, Rocketdyne Division, who have the skills and knowledge required to complete this effort. The Silo-Based Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (SBICBM) System Program Office (SPO), Ogden Air Logistics Center (OO-ALC), intends to establish a continuous engineering services and technical support contract (Basic with three Option Periods) to be performed on the Peacekeeper (LGM118) Post Boost Propulsion Systems (PBPS). These services and technical effort will support current planning to maintain the supportability, reliability and service life of the Peacekeeper operational force. Only qualified sources need respond. The program will consist of Engineering and Technical Services to provide Sustainment, Aging Surveillance and Service Life Estimate to the weapon system. In addition, a continuous level of effort is required to be performed on the Peacekeeper Post-Boost Propulsion System, components, support equipment and materials. Also, the contractor will be required to maintain historical records and provide technical support in case of emergency incidents. Data from all requirements of the Post Boost Propulsion System Operation shall be provided in accordance with Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs). Deliverables under the contract will consist of technical manual data research and analysis source data, Operational Aging Surveillance Program Plan and Subsystem Design Analysis Report and technical reports. The contractor shall be required to assume total program responsibility to include: (1) Data and Service Life analysis from the responsible associate contractor that produced the subsystems (2) Support to encompass the availability of production records, engineering data, testing capability, field activities identification and resolution of problems and anomalies and discrepancies at Hill AFB (HAFB), F.E Warren Air Force Base (FEWAFB) and Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) to support Post Boost Propulsion System. To be considered a qualified source, the offeror shall: (1) Possess a demonstrated history of successful technical experience in Peacekeeper liquid propulsion programs conducted by the potential offeror and their relevance to the Post Boost Propulsion System. (2) Possess access to a complete PBPS historical data library including development data manufacturing build records, acceptance and qualification test data, misc. process data, drawings, and specifications. (3) Demonstrate ability to accomplish Aging Surveillance testing and service life analysis on Peacekeeper Post Boost Propulsion System. (4) Identify a working relationship with all PBPS Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) with respect to component Aging Surveillance testing. (5) Demonstrate ability to provide and manage unique facilities for component and system level PBPS testing, propellant loading and detanking. (6) Demonstrate knowledge of and ability to manage/sperate special electronic, pneumatic, and manual test equipment. (7) Demonstrate the ability to provide timely, and technically sound response to support various sustaining tasks and support of the resolution of depot maintenance or field operational problems. (8) Demonstrate experience in or the ability to provide PBPS follow-on Operational Test & Evaluation (FOT&E) flight performance analysis. (9) Demonstrate ability to provide PBPS technical data update recommendations. (10) Demonstrate capability to provide PBPS process ODC elimination technical support. (11) Demonstrate that PBPS simulated performance models are available. (12) Demonstrate ability to maintain PBPS LSAR-252 manual. A viable, qualified source, in the Government's consideration, will submit a concise and program specific response presenting sufficient information to substantiate the contractors: (1) demonstrated experience in the design, manufacture and support of complex design changes of large and complex liquid bipropellant post boost propulsion systems for this weapon system, (2) indicate capabilities and experience to perform tests, collect data, and analyze results for projecting service life of the propulsion system, components, and materials with an acceptable confidence level (3) demonstrate experience and abilities required for engineering analysis on Aging Surveillance test data from Peacekeeper Post Boost Propulsion system static testing and non-destructive testing, (4) Appropriate management, engineering and manufacturing experience to conduct sustainment and aging surveillance without significant technical, schedule, performance, or cost risk. The response shall describe the potential offeror's qualifications in the following areas: (1) Peacekeeper Programs; describe current and past Peacekeeper programs conducted by the potential offeror and their relevance to the Post Boost Propulsion System Programs. (2) Management System; describe the proposed management approach to be employed on the program (3) Personnel Experience; describe the qualifications of personnel projected to work on this program (4) Facilities; describe the facilities projected for use on this program. Minimum personnel security clearance requirements for this effort are Secret. Only companies having the necessary capabilities and sincerely interested in becoming sources of supply should respond within 10 days from the date of this notice to OO-ALC/LMKE, 6014 Dogwood Ave. Bldg 1258 Hill Air Force Base UT, 84056-5816, Attn: Steven N. Woodward, Contract Negotiator. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Requests for further information regarding this announcement should be directed to the above. No telephone or FAX requests. Only written requests received directly from the requestor are acceptable.
