N -- DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND INSTALLATION OF AN/AAR-47 MISSILE WARNING SET (MWS) A-KITS ON G-222 ITALIAN AIRCRAFT POC Contact: Jeanette Platt, Phone: (301) 757-7080 E-MAIL: plattj.jfk@navair.navy.mil, plattj.jfk@navair.navy.mil. The Department of the Navy is formulating requirements for the design, development, test and installation of the AN/AAR-47 Missile Warning Set (MWS) A-Kits on the G-222 Aircraft. The U.S. Navy is the developer of the MWS and has a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Case with the IAF for this effort. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit information that will aid the Navy in formulating a best value approach to meet the requirements to design, develop, manufacture and test the A-kits and to install the MWS on the IAF G-222. The Navy will use the information gathered in response to this RFI to refine its planning prior to the release of a formal Request for Proposal (RFP). An award is planned on or about 14 January 1999. The objectives are to install the MWS on the IAF G-222 including all engineering analysis, testing, install support, and flight certifications. The RFI will include a schedule for completion of the requirement and a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) to complete an assessment of affordability on the scope of work for the installation of the MWS. For items that are not priced in your approach or are unknown at this time, please note in your response. Note: Production quantities for the installation kit are planned for 23 A-kits. Request vendors provide five (5) paper copies. A page count of twenty-five (25) pages are provided as a guideline, not a limitation. Additional pages may be submitted if necessary to demonstrate ideas and concepts. Demonstrations of existing installs by government or industry will not be conducted. Interested sources are invited to review the RFI information package and provide responses. Vendors may fax a written request for the RFI package to the Contracting Officer, Naval Air Systems Command, AIR-2.2.1.1.2, 47123 Buse Rd, Unit IPT, Bldg 2272, Ste 453, Patuxent River MD 20670-1547, fax number (301) 757-7070. Point of contact for additional information will be Contract Specialist Jeanette Platt at (301) 757-7080. All written requests for the information package must include an address for unclassified mail, an email address if available, and the name and telephone number of a point of contact. Responses will not be considered as proposals, and neither this announcement nor the RFI should be construed as a request for proposal. All information contained in the RFI is preliminary and subject to modification and is in no way binding on the government. Questions or clarification concerning the information package should be forwarded in writing no later than 10 days after RFI issuance. The RFI will be released on or about June 15, 1998.
