255-1695, ext 2249/Contracting Officer, Patricial E. 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. This synopsis is not to be
construed as a commitment on the part of the Government to award a
contract nor does the government intend to directly pay for any
information or responses submitted as the result of this solicitation.
