Blakely, (937) 255-1695, ext 2031 Potential Sources Sought. This is not an RFP. Potential sources sought: ASC/YFK is conducting a market survey for F-22 Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) aircraft and associated equipment and program support for Lot 2. The anticipated ten (10) aircraft are a part of the Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) phase of F-22 development with delivery dates beginning in February 03 and continuing through November 03. The F-22 aircraft blends low observability with advanced avionics, a highly maneuverable lightweight airframe, and the ability to supercruise. The F-22 is designed to detect, engage, and destroy an opposing force before detection. Further, the F-22 possesses air-to-air as well as air-to-ground capability. Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems (LMAS), Marietta, GA, is currently the prime contractor for the engineering and manufacturing development of the F-22 aircraft as well as the production of Production Representative Test Vehicles and LRIP Lot I. Responsible sources are sought for Lot 2. Offerors must provide written notice to the contracting officer of their interest and capability to satisfy the government requirement no later than 01 Feb 99. The offeror must: (1) possess program management, fabrication/assembly, and quality assurance personnel; (2) possess the material, engineering, factory and flight test equipment and physical facilities; (3) be a responsible contractor with demonstrated recent total aircraft system responsibility; (4) be capable of delivering qualified aircraft in accordance with the above schedule; and (5) include in their response to this notice evidence of these capabilities. The offeror shall also indicate their size status in relation to SIC code 3721. Reprocurement data is not available. Note that the production of the supplies listed requires a substantial initial investment or an extended period of preparation for manufacture. Also, it is impracticable to distribute the applicable specifications with this market survey. These contract documents may be examined or obtained from ASC/YF, Building 50, 2130 Fifth Street, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, 45433-7003. An Ombudsman has been appointed to address concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program director or contracting officer, but communicates contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals or in the source selection process. Interested parties are invited to call ASC's Ombudsman, Stephen J. Plaisted, at (937) 255-5535 or (937) 255-9095 or e-mail stephen.plaisted@ascsy.wpafb.af.mil.
