Tobyhanna Army Depot intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Litton Systems, Inc., Data Systems Division, 29851 Agoura Rd., P O Box 6008, Agoura, CA 91376-6008, for the acquisition of engineering and technical services and instruction specifically in support of the AN/TQY-23(v)2 Tactical Air Operations Module, Modular Control Equipment (MCE) systems/equipment which is being transitioned to Tobyhanna Army Depot. The services will be required for approximately a one year period with option for up to an additional year of service. The engineering and technical services shall include: overseeing the transition (the de-installation and re-installation) of the system equipment inclusive of all TMDE and special test fixtures; provide process continuity prior to and after transition; provide inventory and condition list of all repair assemblies and piece parts required for the maintenance of the AN/TQY-23(v)2 available prior to the de-installation; provide OJT and informal training to Army personnel on maintenance and operation techniques for adjustment, calibration, trouble-shooting, bench check, routine maintenance, inspection, and repair of prime system/equipment, including various periphery control equipment, and assist in technical order verification; provide support in the identification of an instruction on the use of special tool, handling and test equipment associated with and related to the system/equipment; emphasize pertinent safety precautions; demonstrate best method installation of modifications, retrofit kits, etc.; provide guidance for resolution of difficult and/or unusual maintenance problems; provide most current technical documentation on all improvement or changes which have been made by the manufacturer to include all TMDE; provide analyses of maintenance difficulties and guidance on establishment or change to maintenance, inspection, and training programs; provide liaison through which information related to maintenance and operational problems, available at the facility, can be quickly disseminated to Army maintenance and operations personnel; provide guidance to Army personnel in accident investigations, preparing failure data reports and reports of unsatisfactory performance as applicable. The Government does not have a technical data package and therefore believes that the only technically capable source for the services is Litton, the developer and original equipment manufacturer of the system. Clearance required is secret. Part 12 acquisition procedures may be used. Firms believing that they can provide the required services should contact the contract negotiator, Joe Santillo.
