76 -- T-37 AND T-38 AIRCRAFT TECHNICAL ORDER MANAGEMENT Sol F41608-BC-MR01. POC Manuel Ruiz/210-925-3718. SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS: THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. The purpose of this announcement is to determine the feasibility of converting government management of T-37 and T-38 Aircraft Technial Orders to a contractor managed Technical Order Program; seeking interested sources; obtaining feedback on our proposed program; proposing an implementation plan. The United States Air Force is evaluating an internal proposal to transition T-37 and T-38 Aircraft Technical Order Management to a contractor operation. Currently, this entails 180 T-37 Technical Orders, 230 T-38 Technical Orders, with a page total of 17,200. A transition program would entail digitizing T-37 and T-38 Technical Orders; performing rapid update/change; having the T-37 and T-38 technical skills to assess proposed changes for suitability and cost effectiveness for final decision by the government; composing and editing; printing Technical Orders and distributing Technical Orders. An implementation plan would describe how this could be accomplished; what personnel would be required; how the combination of publishing and technical skills would be handled; what facilities; what hardware and software; and any Rough Order Magnitude estimates for a total program or piece of the program. A contractor would have to integrate with the government's GO22, Logistics Management of Technical Orders Automated Data Processing System, Engineering Drawings Computer Assisted Retrieval System (EDCARS), and Automated Technical Order System (ATOS) initially. Subsequently, contractor could discuss maintaining that integration or substituting similar capability. A new or extensive development is not a likely option. We are interested in an existing system with proven capability or a system with core capability and flexibility to add or adapt to meet our needs. This system would also have to be capable of doubling the capacity to handle our 410 Technical Orders. We would like interested parties to contact us within 30 days of this notice to discuss what capabilities might be available and to offer suggestions for the implementations. Point of contact is Manuel Ruiz; (210) 925-3718; FAX: (210) 925-0097, or Lt Col Cecilia Prewitt, (210) 925-6185; FAX: (210) 925-9940. Extended telephone calls are discouraged. Product literature, discussion of current applications of your product; fact to face discussions and product demonstrations are more effective ways to obtaining the information we are seeking. (069)
