49 -- F-16 JET FUEL STARTER TEST STAND SOL F16-JFS Test Stand DUE 020698 POC SA-ALC/LDKTE, Attn: Bill Kaufman, 485 Quentin Roosevelt Ste 7,=20 Kelly AFB TX 78241-6426, Phone: (210) 925-0190 ext 2044,=20 FAX: (210) 925-1059=20 WEB: SA-ALC, Kelly AFB Contracting Home Page, http://www.kelly-afb.org/links/procur.htm. E-MAIL: Send E-Mail to the POC, whkaufma@ldgate1.kelly.af.mil. F-16 Jet Fuel Starter Test Stand, NSN: 4920-01-083-0429, P/N ST93151 SA-ALC is seeking sources for the manufacture of F-16 Jet Fuel Starter Test Stand, NSN: 4920-01-083-0429, P/N ST93151 for two foreign governments. The current approved source is Sundstrand Aerospace, Rockford, IL (Cage 99167). All or part of critical engineering design data is proprietary to the original equipment manufacturer. The F-16 Jet Fuel Starter Test Stand is utilized to check the F-16 jet fuel starter (JFS) material and functional integrity as part of depot level overhaul acceptance test requirements. This test stand consists of a test stand mechanical fixture assembly, a control console assembly, a fuel system assembly, a water brake system assembly, a boom junction box assembly, a facility interface enclosure and accessories. Electrical harnessing connects the test stand control and monitoring devices to the JFS test article sensors and test stand mechanical fixture assembly. In operation, the test stand simulates the F-16 aircraft engine start system (ESS) function and operating conditions and is designed and built to test the F-16 Jet Fuel Starter. Specific testing requirements include initial unloaded runs of the JFS and stepped loaded horsepower performance test runs at JFS Turbine shaft speeds of 100%, 103.5% and 105% and varying loaded conditions. The JFS is attached to the test! mechanical fixture assembly. The test stand operator controls input, the test stand, and test cell facility via the control console assembly. Execution of tests to the JFS, its real-time data parameters of the unit under test and the critical test cell conditions are monitored and recorded. A simulated ESS controller monitors and controls JFS dynamic sequence events. The potential contractor must submit evidence of understanding the scope of work for the design, build and commissioning of the F-16 test stand indicating that the contractor had primary responsibility for all operations necessary for the completion of commissioning of a new F-16 JFStest stand for the customer. The potential contractor for this acquisition must demonstrate their qualifications to perform design, build and commission of F-16 JFS test stands. Prospective contractors must demonstrate manufacturing, software development, preparation of data- deliverables, and specify test cell facility installation design requirements. The potential contractor must provide oversight of customer test cell facility modification or new construction and test stand installation work, test stand hardware transfer and installation, mechanical/electrical utility and signal/control instrumentation wiring connections. They must also perform test stand calibration and start-up, administer a test stand acceptance testing program, provide formal training, and provide standard warranty and customer technical support within an aircraft gas turbine engine JP-8 aviation fuel burning test cell. The potential contractor must submit a list of all engineering, design, software development and computer hardware,fabrication, parts, materials, and other services which they will provide or will be performed by vendors, subcontractors, affiliates, subsidiaries and other divisions.= =20 Vendors and subcontractors must be qualified /certified to supply such materials or perform such tasks. Contractors/vendors must meet ISO 9001 and ISO 9003 quality requirements, and the calibration system requirements of ISO 10012-1 (or ANSI/NCSL Z540-1). The potential contractor must describe the company=92s previous experience and current capabilities to perform the work required. This includes a list of plant equipment, facilities, machinery, tools, fixtures and specialized process equipment to be used to design, manufacture, commission and provide necessary technical support for the F-16 JFS test stand. The contractor must also describe the design, engineering, software development, technical data development, project management and quality assurance skills available at the company. The contractor must also certify that key designers, engineers and project managers have had prior experience with design, manufacturing, inspection, conducting acceptance tests, equipment installation, test cell facility design/construction, and training for supplying a new F-16 ADG test stand. The contractor must also provide references and describe at least three (3) examples of support equipment installed within a test cell environment which were specifically designed, built, qualified and commissioned for use in performing OEM manufacturing qualification acceptance testing or DOD depot-level testing of military on-board aircraft jet fuel starters similar in scope to the design and function complexity of the USAF F-16 JFS test stand requirement. Source approval packages must be sent to SA-ALC/LDKTE/Attn: Bill Kaufman/485 Quentin Roosevelt, Ste 7/Kelly AFB TX 78241-6426 no later than 6 Feb 98.=20 Mr. Kaufman=92s phone is (210) 925-0190 ext 2044.=20 (0014)
