POC for copy, Mr. J.C. Norris, (619)553-4331. The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego (SSC-SD) intends to negotiate a hybrid firm fixed price and time and materials, delivery order contract in accordance with FAR Part 15 for the following items and repair services: * PORTABLE SENSOR PLATFORMS (PSP's), SPARE PARTS and REPAIR SERVICES The portable sensor platform consists of a modified High Mobility Multipurpose Vehicle (HMMWV) trailer. Major modifications to the standard HMMWV trailer include an increase in length to 25 feet and the installation of a hydraulic extendible mast assembly. The mast when fully erected reaches a height of 20 feet. The mast is populated with a variety of communication, radar and Electronic Support Measures antennas. In its collapsed state the PSP is fitted with a cover. The PSP is used in conjunction with a MIUW-SU van and is linked to the van with a 150 foot electrical cable and with another cable to an electrical generator. The cables are stored on reels on-board the PSP. The PSP is designed to be towed by a HMMWV or similar types of heavy-duty utility trucks on both improved and unimproved roads. The scope of manufacturing includes fabrication of machined parts, electrical cables, electronic assemblies, hydraulic hoses and fabric covers, after-market modification of purchased components, welding, painting, assembly and finish work. This effort calls for fabrication of seven (7) PSP's, one (1) lot of initial spare parts, production quality assurance requirements, and acceptance testing and delivery requirements. Five (5) more PSP's may be required to be built in incremental batches over the next five years. These will be ordered by delivery order. Additionally, the contractor shall be required to conduct repairs on PSP's which have been delivered to the government. It is anticipated that the scope of these repair services will range from simple fabrication of replacement parts, to repair/refurbishment of broken parts to actual field service calls requiring on-site repair of a broken PSP. The solicitation document will contain further information. The solicitation document will be issued approximately on 4 December 1997. For copies of the solicitation, only written requests will be honored. Note- this is a hundred percent small business set-aside. Facsimile letters are acceptable at (619)553-6976. See Note: 1.
