WEB: click here to access Contractor Capability Survey, http://www.robins.af.mil/orgs/alc/smallbusiness/docs/nightv.doc. This is NOT a presolicitation notice pursuant to FAR Part 5, but is a Sources Sought Synopsis to identify sources that can design a Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) compatible lighting modification and produce kits for twenty-seven (27) HC-130P/N aircraft. Aircraft have had significantly different histories of operational use. There is also a requirement to produce kits for NVIS compatible cargo compartment lighting for six (6) C-130H3 aircraft. As a result, groups of aircraft will require different modification kits. The modification program requires the following (not all inclusive): NVIS compatible lighting designs for flight deck, cargo compartment and external lighting; and modification of at least one aircraft to demonstrate compliance with specifications. There will be minimal Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) provided for this modification. Some avionics systems (radios, altimeter) may be supplied from other programs where NVIS compatibility has already been accomplished. A security clearance level of Secret will be required to modify portions of secure voice systems and to survey the HC-130P/N aircraft still in operational use. Contractor's facility shall have runway, taxiway, ramp and hangar space necessary to perform this type work. Interested sources must complete a Contractor Capability Survey.
