58 -- SUPPORT FOR AN/USC-28(V), AN/FSC-115 AND AN/GSC-63 SOL DAAB07-98-R-AXXX DUE 061998 POC Point of Contact -- Victoria Lane, Contract Specialist, 732-427-1622. Contracting Officer -- John Adamitis, 732-532-3473. E-MAIL: support for AN/USC-28(V), AN/FSC-115 and AN/GSC-63, lanev@doim6.monmouth.army.mil. This synopsis is a market survey to locate additional sources, to issue a solicitation for contractor supported Satellite Communication Set (SCS) and DSCS ECCM Control Subsystem (DECS0 systems as described herein. The solicitation will involve both Depot level and resident site support services and materials necessary to provide the ongoing depot level engineering support, depot storage and issue, and depot repair and overhaul, including redeployment of overhauled/upgraded systems for the AN/USC-28(V) (SCS), AN/FSC-115 (DECS-CC)and AN/GSC-63 (DECS-RD) and their respective component reparable assemblies. In addition this acquisition will also continue to provide resident site support through Field Maintenace Technicians (FMTs) for the subject equipment's deployed worldwide. It has been deemed necessary to require the services of nine (9) full time FMTs and three (3) part time FMTs as floaters for the first year of the contract to perform fault isolation, corrective action, engineering support and testing for Space Systems Division (SSD), Defense Information System Agency (DISA), and other agency tests for the referenced systems. The FMTs will support site personnel which are required to maintain fielded AN/USC-28(V), AN/FSC-115 and AN/GSC-63 systems worldwide. The Contractor's Systems Engineering Staff will provide analytical support to the FMTs on-site problems and duplicate and suggest corrective action for system anomallies reported by the FMTs. In addition all Depot maintenance, repair, rebuild, overhaul and redeployment required to correct said anomalies will be accommplished. The Government did not acquire a level III drawing package which would be used for in-depth troubleshooting and engineering analysis of system problems and anomalies, furthermore the proprietary nature of much of the technical data precludes that availability of such drawings (i.e., a complete technical data package) necessary to provide the detailed Depot level and site engineering support for the systems for which this contractis intended. The Government does not own the off-line automatic test equipment, automatic test programs (test program, test adapters & operator instructions), manual test equipment, test fixtures or manual test procedures necessary to fault detect and fault diagnose items submitted for depot repair and overhaul. Nor does the Government own the engineering data required to develop either automatic or manual test procedures. The Depot and site support service and materials will be required for the twelve (12) month period beginning approximately September 1998 and will include four (4) twelve month options for the continuation of the same services and materials. The respondent must provide level of effort and dollar estimates to acquire a full understanding of the design of the of SCS and DECS equipment's. As part of the written response, a respondent must be able to prove to the Government how Depot level and field problems can be identified and corrected without the aid of detailed design drawings. A written response must include evidence of the respondent's ability to support the described equipment. Responses should be sent to CDR USA CECOM, ATTN: AMSEL-RD-ST-SE-TA, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey 07703-5000. For further information contact either Mr. John Coumeri, SSD, at 732-532-9783 x5469, or Mr. Jim Acerra, LRC, at 732-532-9298 (or) 732-532-2996. The deadline for response to this notice is 19 June 1998. (0149)
