J -- MAVERICK ALL-UP ROUNDS (AURS) SOL F42630-99-R-AAAAD POC For copy, PKX-2/Pamala Chaffee/(FAX)801-777-7522, For additional information contact Lori Kashanipour/Likm/[801]777-4161 The following information is provided to do a Market Survey of Industry to determine potential contractors, in addition to Raytheon Missile Systems Company (RMSC), who have the knowledge and skills required to successfully complete this effort. This contracting effort involves depot-level inspection, repair, and assembly of Maverick All-Up Rounds (AURs) (complete missiles) at a Government owned facility on Hill AFB (Building 2026). The Maverick missile (AGM/TGM-65 A/B/D/E/F/G/H/K) is an infrared guided, rocket-propelled air-to-ground missile developed for use against small targets such as tanks, vessels, armored vehicles, and Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) sites. The Government is in the process of preparing a Justification and Authority (J&A) to proceed with a sole-source acquisition to RMSC. The AUR Inspection, Repair, and Assembly effort includes: (1) Performing periodic inspection of Navy (E/F) missiles -- where the missile fails, it is repaired, and where it passes, the test completion is documented and the missile is returned to the Navy -- additionally under the inspection task, the contractor must be able to disassemble the missile for Government run safety investigations and reliability tests. The Government will provide the missiles for inspection at a rate of at least 100 per year, and all necessary test equipment will be provided as GFP. (2) Performing repair of A/B/D/E/F/G AURs including fault isolation to Center-Aft Section (CAS) or GCS, repair of failed CASs (including refurbishment, replacement of battery/rocket motor/etc.), and acceptance testing of repaired AUR. The Government will provide missiles for repair at a rate of at least 100 per year, and all necessary test equipment will be provided as GFP. (3) Assembling new D/G/H/K AURs from given components. The Government will provide all needed test equipment as GFP. The assembly rate is TBD, depending on future orders (especially FMS) for Maverick missiles. RMSC is currently the only known qualified source that possesses the ability and experience required to complete this effort. Therefore, the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1.
