NSN 7R-6625-01-275-5695-CS, Ref Nr 231502-950, Qty 138 EA, Delivery FOB Origin -- The subject item requires Government source approval prior to contract award, as the item is flight critical and/or the technical data available has not been determined adequate to support acquisition via full and open competition. Only the source(s) previously approved by the government for this item have been solicited. The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source. If you are not an approved source you must submit, together with your proposal, the information detailed in the U.S. Navy Aviation Supply Office Source Approval Information Brochure. This brochure identifies technical data required to be submitted based on your company's experience in production of the same or similiar item, or if this is an item you have never made.

If your request for source approval is currently being evaluated at NAVICP-P, submit with your offer a copy of the cover letter which forwarded your request for source approval. Offers received which fail to provide all data required by the Source Approval Brochure or document previous submission of all data required by the Source Approval Brochure will not be considered for award under this solicitation.

The Government intends to replace the existing IP-1051 Pilot's (7RH 6625-01-275-5695, p/n 231502-950) and IP-1053 Copliot's (7RH 6625-01-275-5697, p/n 231503-950) displays in the S-3B aircraft with new Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays (AMLCDs) that match the existing ones in form, fit and function. These displays are located at the Pilot's and Copilot's stations respectively as part of the ASA-82 Tactical Acoustic Display Group. Due to the need for precise system interface this requirement will be restricted to contractors with previous experience with manufacture or repair of ASA-82 displays used in the S-3B aircraft. Only offerors with the aforementioned experience will be considered.The goal of this program is to incorporate into the S-3B aircraft Pilot's and Copilot's stations an ASA-82 display that duplicates the form and external dimensions of the existing IP-1051 and IP-1053 displays, and which fits into the existing MPD locations.Technology ad vancements can be utilized for functionality improvements, however, the functional performance shall not be less than the existing MPDS. Reliability and maintainability shall be improved as called for in the specification. The replacement displays shall mate with existing cooling plenums and aircraft connectors and shall incorporate additional external and accessible connectors. The total requirement is for 138 ea. of both Pliot and Copliot displays. In addition to the manufacture of replacement displays the Supplier shall provide the necessary engineering services, material, test equipment and facilities to conduct the required tests, perform design analysis and generate technical data packages as required in the contract award. Qualification testing on First Article units to ensure compliance with the specification and manufacturing testing to assure performance of each unit produced will be required.Alternate offers will be required allowing for either the procurement of the entire lot of 138 Pilot and 138 Copilot replacement displays on a single contract(with delivery at the rate of 15 Pilot and 15 Copilot displays starting 18 months after contract award) or for the procurement on a Requirements type contract with an estimated quantity of 46 Pilot and Copilot displays on base year 1 and the remainder evenly divided on 2 option years.
