17 -- PROCUREMENT FOR AN/TRN-45 MMLS WARRANTY AUGMENTATION SUPPLY/SUPPORT FOR MMLS SYSTEM POC Ms. Gail Oliver, Contract Negotiator, 617-377-5428; Mr. Dan Devine, Contracting Officer, 617-377-4197. ESC is planning to procure warranty augmentation support for 33 AN/TRN-45, Mobile Microwave Landing Systems (MMLS), to complete the MMLS supply/support structure for the three year period of the warranty (basic w/two one year options), or until an organic capability is established. The MMLS is a portable, ground based, microwave transmitter that will provide a mobile, precision approach and landing capability for MLS equipped aircraft operating under adverse conditions including inclement weather and hostile environments. A level III procurement drawing package is not available for potential competition. The Government plans to contract on a sole source basis with Textron Defense Systems for the procurement of the warranty augmentation support for MMLS. The Government also plans to furnish the initial spare parts inventory to be maintained by the contractor as Government Furnished Property. Interested firms should respond by indicating their ability to meet the following screening criteria. Firms must have the capability and background to perform the following specific tasks: 1) Provide warranty augmentation support beginning no later than 30 July 1995. 2) Have prior MMLS experience, and the ability to perform the supply and support functions on Air Force equipment. 3) Provide MMLS on-call technical support for fault isolation diagnostics and MLS installation problems. 4) Prescreen incoming failed MMLS items to test and verify failure. 4) Maintain MMLS spare parts inventory (GFP) and maintain records of the supply/support actions. 5) Provide USAF/DoD supply/support documentation. 6) Expedite replenishment for critical failure items on operationally deployed MMLS systems at austere locations. 7) Provide normal replenishment for non-critical failure items on operationally deployed and garrisoned MMLS systems. 8) Replenish spare parts inventory after repair of failed item. 9) Provide the Government with a monthly status report of all actions taken pertaining to the supply/support of the MMLS system. Interested firms are requested to submit statement of their qualifications, along with supporting documentation to ESC/TGK, 11 Eglin Street, Hanscom AFB, MA 01731-2120, Attn.: Ms Gail Oliver. Responses must be received no later than 30 days after the date of this publication, and should not exceed ten (10) pages. Firms should indicate whether they would be interested in receiving a draft RFP, should the Government elect to issue such a document prior to the release of the formal RFP. Firms should indicate if they qualify as a small disadvantaged business. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only, and does not constitute an IFB or RFP, nor does its issuance restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach. The Government will solicit those firms meeting the screening criteria in this synopsis. Any offeror initially judged to be unqualified will be provided a copy of the solicitation on request, and any offer such a firm might submit will be evaluated without prejudice.
