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. This brochure can be obtained by calling NAVICP-P at (215) 697- 4243. 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. Please note, if evaluation of a source approval request submitted hereunder cannot be processed in time and/ or approval requirements preclude the ability to obtain subject items in time to meet government requirements, award of the subject requirement may continue based on Fleet support needs. The Government intends to replace the existing Integrated Drive Generator used in the S-3B aircraft with new/modified units witha guaranteed minimum MTBF of 2000hrs in the S-3 operational environment. The present IDG used on the S-3 aircraft consists of a Constant Speed Drive, Sundstrand p/n 709994J and an Alternating Current Generator, Sundstrand p/n 976J93611. The anticipated effort should include the manufacture, test and delivery of a modified/replacement alternating current generating system which meets the minimum guaranteed reliability specified. It is anticipated that the RFP will include a Statement of Work and a Performance based specification. Award will be made to the supplier with the lowest price technically acceptable offer. The proposed modified/replacement system must meet the form, fit and function requirements of the current IDG. In addition to the manufacture of modified/replacement IDGs 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 the performance of each unit will be required. A warranty of 3years from date of installation will also be required., See Note 22 (ACAVI0616035-062) (0167)
