58 -- MARKET SURVEY FOR AN/USM-410 AUTOMATIC TEST EQUIPMENT AND ADVANCED ATTACK HELICOPTER (AAH) AUGMENTATION DUE 013098 POC Ralph M. Moser, Logistics Management Specialist, 732-532-1603 E-MAIL: CECOM POC, moser@doim6.monouth.army.mil. This is a Market Survey to determine the availability of contractor maintenance and sustaining support of AN/USM-410 systems deployed to tactical and non-tactical sites, worldwide, over basic period 1 Nov 98 -31 Oct 99, and the option periods 1 Nov 99 -- 31 Oct 00 and 1 Nov 00 -- 31 Oct 01. The technical data package for the core AN/USM-410 lacks complete test requirements documentation and, to a large extent, data is comprised of source controlled documentation for components/assemblies. The government does not own the performance and specification data for the APACHE EETF Augmentation Equipment. The prime contractor for the EETF, BOEING McDonnell subcontracts augmentation portion to Lockheed Martin. Specific services to be provided include a. On-call/on-site field maintenance and technical support to AN/USM-410(V) and AAH peculiar augmentation subsystem of the Electronic Equipment Test Facility supporting the APACHE Helicopter. On call field service support representatives will provide prioritysupport of EETF (tactical and non-tactical systems) deployed to CONUS/OCONUS locations. b. Emergency backup support to non-tactical and tactical core AN/USM-410(V) and MSM-105 sytems. Backup support will be utilized when the AN/USM-410(V) system operation cannot be restored by the field user or depot field service representatives. The contractor will be required to maintain a cadre of technical representatives qualified to provide support on an as required basis. c. Depot level repair support to AN/USM-410 and AAH Peculiar Augmentation modules, PCBs, subassemblies and components returned from: (1) AN/USM-410(V) and EETF sites. Repaired subassemblies will be returned to Government owned, contractor operated storage for re-issue to AN/USM-410(V) and EETF users in response to field support requirements. (2) Government depots as "F" Stock. The repaired subassemblies will be returned to the Army Supply system for reissue to field/depot users. A large percentage of "F" stock repair is accomplished directly at Tobyhanna Army Depot (est. 80%). Contractor repair support is utilized for those items which are not repairable at Government depots. d. Sustaining Engineering Support Services. Contractual sustaining support services are required to provide the engineering capability to respond to user reported problems, hardware/software/ILS deficiencies and to implement material changes necessary to ensure continued system readiness and long term sustainabiliy. Requirements for sustaining support services will be defined by the requiring activity. Contractual implementation of these requirements will be directed through the PCO. e. Program Management. The contractor will provide a centralized program management activity to serve as a single point of coordination between themselves, CECOM and the user community. (0013)
