58 -- MARKET SURVEY FOR COMMENTS ON DRAFT STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES FOR INTELLIGENT PRODUCT DATA DUE 071597 POC Gary Salomon, Chief, Engineering Data Management Branch, (732) 532-2224 E-MAIL: CECOM POC, salomon@doim6.monmuth.army.mil. This Market Survey is to elicit comments from industry on the feasibility and interest in providing services of the nature described in the Statement of Objectives (SOO) below in weapon system acquisitions. The intent is for the Government to use a SOO in upcoming Request for Proposals which allows industry to respond to the requirements with their plan of action via a proposed statement of work. The Government would evaluate the contractors proposals as part of an evaluation factor and choose the best value to the government. The SOO is as follows: STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES (DRAFT) The purpose of these objectives is to assure that the contractor and the government share a common product database in order to promote teaming, enhance contractor-government communication and to give both parties the use of the best available information in order to reduce development, production and operational support costs. Intelligent Product Data (IPD) encompasses all the information necessary for acomplete definition of each configuration item in the product baseline, and for accomplishing engineering analysis, manufacture, and integrated logistics support. Real-time, on-line access to contractor's IPD including all CAD/CAM/CAE data, CM/PDM systems and all other data needed to obtain both design and logistics end products. Merging a products' design and supportability. Data bases and data base engines should be linked/bridged to retrieve logistics end products throughout the product's life cycle to include design changes via digital/electronic format. . The resultant Intelligent Product Data (IPD) would allow the generation of the following logistics end products by either the contractor or government: 1. Logistics Modeling to determine the optimum repair concept, as well as spares determination. 2. Family tree, functional block diagram, and top-down breakdown. 3. Maintenance Plan Data (Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC)) to include maint/repair levels, maintenance functions, repairable assemblies, support equipment, and repair times. 4. Basis Of Issue Plan Feeder Data (BOIPFD) to include the list of components and associated items of support such as Test Measurement Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE), ground support equipment, and tools. 5. Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs/ETMs) -- Narrative technical manuals (TMs) reflecting the Logistics model, interactive, with multi-Service interoperability. 6. Computer based or artificial intelligence training, interoperable with manuals. 7. Provisioning Parts List (PPL) for products requiring government support, to include establishment of provisioning/cataloging database, National Stock Number (NSN) assignment, Repair Parts Manual development, requisitioning information, stockage determination requirements, and Supplementary Provisioning Tech Data (SPTD). 8. Spares and support equipment to include initial provisioning to support either Operational Test, fielding, or contingency operations. 9. Material Requirements List (MRL) for fielding. Utilization of commercially available software and hardware for development and maintenance of the product data, including maximum use of industry standards and practices. Compatible with CECOM internal existing information systems. For supplying information or for getting more information contact: Logistics Products questions Pam Cooper, (732)532-4992 cooperp@doim6.monmouth.army.mil Logistics Products alternate Ted Rukki, (732) 532-1176 rukki@doim6.monmouth.army.mil CAD/CAM or PDM questions Gary Salomon, (732)532-2224 salomon@doim6.monmouth.army.mil CAD/CAM or PDM alternate Judy Furmato, (732)532-2356 furmato@doim6.monmouth.army.mil The government would like to hold a government/industry meeting to discuss the results and ideas surfaced via this survey. Those interested in participating should notify Pam Cooper above. The deadline for response is July 15, 1997. (0168)
