The capabilities package should present clear evidence that the interested party is fully capable of providing the required services, and as such may contain any information (subject to page limitations stated below) the interest party feels is relevant. The following issues/areas however, must be addressed: 1. Contractor background/experience in the R&D testing environment, specifically in the dynamic testing of aircraft subsystems and in the operation of large testing machines such as dynamometers, impact towers, and load applicators; 2. Contractor capabilities with regard to the high voltage electro-mechanical and servo-hydraulic maintenance requirements; 3. The extent to which subcontracting is anticipated, identifying specific areas of the effort for which subcontracting would be relied upon; 4. The extent to which any teaming arrangements would be anticipated; 5. Contractor's capabilities with regard to urgent and short notice test requirements, including discussion of the impact of subcontracting and teaming arrangements upon these capabilities; 6. Contractor's capabilities with regard to the required personnel diversity and staffing flexibility, addressing specifically the contractor's capabilities in accommodating significant requirement increases and decreases, as well as maintaining the ability to quickly access sufficient numbers of personnel (for sudden requirement surges) during extended periods of relatively light workload; 7. Contractor's capabilities with regard to the performance of basic research into materials characterization and instrumentation; 8. Provide resumes exemplifying the types of personnel specifically identified in the "Required Qualifications" section.
