Request for Proposal!! 17(iii). This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-04!! 17(iv). This procurement is restricted to Small Business Concerns only procurement under SIC 7379 Computer Related Services, NEC!! 17(v). Description: There are several contract line items, which are not optional: ITEMS LISTED 17(vi). Description: 1.0 This Statement of Work (SOW) defines requirements for upgrading the design, engineering and laboratory equipment in the Scientific and Technical Division at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center, Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, 73145 (OC-ALC/TIE). Design engineers and draftsmen in the Technology Insertion Branch (TIET) use Computer Aided Design (CAD) infrastructure to produce drawings in the design and drawing development of aircraft structural modification programs, while test engineers and technicians in the Science and Engineering Laboratory Branch (TIES) fabricate, prototype, and test these designs prior to implementation using the materials test system in conjunction with enhanced optical, high speed video, and nondestructive inspection (NDI) equipment. This support must be provided immediately and continually, especially when unexpected problems or safety of flight occurs. 2.0 Background: The CAD infrastructure in TIET is high performance raster/vector drafting system consisting of seven HP 425t and two HP735 analysis CAD workstations. The CAD workstations provide quick development of AF installation and Level III drawings. The fabrication group in TIEs has a machine shop with various metal working equipment, while the NDI group uses all the NDI methods including penetrant, magnetic particle, eddy current, ultrasonic, infrared, radiographic and enhanced optical/visual. The equipment is used to support OC-ALC prime weapon system aircraft (B-1, B-2, B-52, C-135, E-3, and Contractor Logistic Support). 3.0 Scope: The contractor shall review the current capabilities within OCALC/TIE; review current planned and proposed workloads; survey the state-of-the-art within the aerospace industry; and make recommendations and proposals to OC-ALC/TIE management to upgrade the infrastructure of the items described below for use within the Science and Technical Division. After approval, the contractor shall acquire, deliver, modify facilities and install, integrate and test the upgrade with the current equipment. 3.1 Computer Aided Design (CAD and Simulation: the Contractor shall identify a high end CAD graphical workstation for modeling and simulation. The Simulation and Modeling Presentation Analytical CAD Workstation System is a high graphical performance computer Aided Design (CAD) network of workstations, color printers/plotters, and multi-media presentation system dedicated to the development of high graphical -D modeling, simulation, and "fly-through" visual rendering of modification and/or analysis programs for the direct support of the center's weapon system managers. The CAD system will provide the center with a pro-active modification capability before limited modification dollars are contracted to insure best cost and modification requirements are well defined. 3.2 High Speed Video: the contractor shall identify a high speed video capability for the TIES laboratory. One color video system in the range of 2000 frames per second (fps) and one black and white (B&W) system in the range of 8000 fps. The B&W video system will be used to capture and monitor crack growth testing. The color video system will be used to capture and monitor hydraulic testing. Ancillary equipment to trigger the camera is an important requirement. 3.3 Polarizing Microscope: The contractor shall identify a Polarizing Microscope. This microscope will bridge the gap between the TIES Video microscope at 100 X to their Electron Microscope at 1000X. 3.4 Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI Equipment: The contractor shall identify an upgrade to the current TIES NDI capability. NDI items such as protable ultrasonic instrument, portable eddy current, video image scope, and a portable eddy current, video image scope, and a portable magnetic particle with power supply will be evaluated and upgraded. 4.0 Project Management: Each upgrade equipment shall require approval of COTR. Use of project funds for travel expenses require prior approval of the COTR. The contractor shall provide an itemized listing with all invoices and provide a bi-monthly status report to the COYR. Deliverable items shall also include manufacturer manuals and the contractor developed wiring diagrams, installation settings, software protocols, etc. 17(vii). Date of delivery is no later than 3 day from receipt of award; Place of Delivery and Acceptance is: Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR), Mr. James W.
