Upon request, a site visit will be made available. Delivery and finance addresses will be provided upon award. This is a firm fixed price requirement (FFP). Offerors are required to document past performance suitably and provide opportunity for verification. Offerors are required to describe the systematic approach to meeting the objectives of the device 9D5 block upgrade effort. (1) describe the system design, performance and how the complete system will achieve stated objectives. Ensure that all statement of objective (SOO), and RFP requirements are addressed. (2) the proposal shall describe, in detail, experience with designing and installing this type of hardware. (3) the proposal shall provide all applicable warranty information. (4) the proposal shall provide all applicable testing information. Offerors will be evaluated on technical approach, price, past performance, reliability/maintainability, and warranty. Technical approach, past performance, and price are equally important. Warranty and reliability/maintainability are of equal importance but are less important than the technical, price and past performance factors. As part of the price evaluation, consideration will be given to approaches that significantly increase Government internal cost. No award will be made if offers exceed available funds. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES: 1. Objectives of the Device 9D5 modification program are to procure production kits (1 each) for 9D5A trainers (Norfolk, Cherry Point, Jacksonville, Pensacola, and Miramar) and for 9D5B trainers (El Toro and Lemoore) which include the following: a. Two Simulated Crashworthy (Stroking) Seats for the front seats (cockpit) of each Device 9D5. Objectives include provisions for: 1. Seat position change between 10-12" with ability to lock in full up and full down positions. 2. Automatic initiation of stroking, defeatable by instructor. 3. Safety in all modes; including prevention of students feet from being beneath seat prior to stroking, and a safe descent rate. 4. Automatic locking of seat in lowered position following stroking with means of diver release of seat locking in emergency situation. 5. Seat return to original, locked position within two minutes or less. 6. Provision for Single Point Restraint System (Pacific Scientific P.N. 111136, Government Furnished Equipment, to be installed by the government.) b. Modifi-cation of two forward seats in the rear section of the fuselage in the Device 9D5A to configuration of the forward two seats in the rear section of the 9D5B. Objective is to reposition seat from facing inward to facing forward and vice versa within one minute. c. Redesign student entry platform. Objective is to prevent interference with the fuselage during lifting. d. Fabricate two (2) rear seat pedestals for the 9D5 device at Miramar using existing design. e. Helicopter Emergency Egress Lighting System (HEELS) for main door exit, to simulate the HEELS installed in actual aircraft triggered by impact forces or low rotor rpm. Objectives include automatic and manual operation and illumination of HEELS when fuselage changes speed during descent into pool. f. Interchangeable Simulated Helicopter Emergency Egress Release Mechanisms for all windows and doors to simulate the P-3, E-2, C-130, T-39, H-3, H-46, and H-60 aircraft. Objectives include non-interference with safe student egress, capability of changing all exits to a different configuration within 15 minutes, indication to divers/instructors that release action was performed, and resetting of all release mechanisms in one minute or less. 2. Additional Objectives: a. Components shall be reliable for repetitive cycling in an underwater, chlorinated pool, environment. b. Components shall include mounting hardware and any special tooling. c. Kit incorporations to both Miramar and Lemoore to allow installation of seats and support pedestals for two positions (5 & 6) in rear section of the fuselage. Two seats (both sites) and support pedestals (Lemoore only) will be provided as Government Furnished Equipment. 3. Prototype kit including swivel seats are to be installed and tested at NAS Pensacola prior to fabrication of production units. Testing shall be conducted using a 200 pound load for eighty (80) cycles. The student entry platform will be tested for proper location and operation. Production units shall be installed by the Government and tested with a 200 pound load for twenty (20) cycles, contractor presence is not required for other than the prototype testing effort. Seat pedestals for Miramar will be installed by the Government and tested for proper fit. 4. Modification must be totally documented and maintainable. All new fabrication, assembly drawings, wiring diagrams and installation instructions shall be provided in electronic media. Liaison with the NAWCTSD Integrated Logistics Support Manager (ILSM) and the support contractor (third party) for the NAWCTSD Library shall be provided. 5. All operations, maintenance and technical support data generated as a result of the block upgrade effort (including redlined changes to existing documentation requiring government correction) shall be furnished for incorporation into the Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) library. Any changes or deviation as result of hardware configuration differences will be identified to the ILSM. Any special maintenance or safety related issues shall be identified to the ILSM. The contractor shall assist the ILSM in identifying changes required for the existing documentation. 6. Modification design, fabrication, shipment, installation, and testing of CLIN 0001AA and CLIN 0001AB shall be completed no later than 6 months after contract award. Modification design, fabrication, shipment, of CLINs0002, 0003, 0004, 0005, 0006, and 0007 shall be completed no later than 6 months after exercise of option for Lot II.
