Qualification Requirement Justification -- Potential offers must have the demonstrable ability to perform evaluation, repair and verification testing of those Air Combat Training System (ACTS) assets identified in the solicitation. The components are mostly of an electronic nature and complex technology. The electronic items are of digital, radio frequency or analog design. Engineering data in the possession of the government is generally complete, however some items are documented with only a Source/Specification Control drawing. Also note this is a mature training system and therefore many parts have become obsolete. Offerors must demonstrate how they would find alternate and/or substitute parts The government will not furnish any data for commercial items. Repair procedures are available for some of the items, however most of the items do not have designated repair procedures and these items will require additional expertise to accomplish repair. The potential offeror must show how it intends to accomplish the repairs including those it cannot repair in house. The government will consider, for this purpose, mechanisms such as subcontractor support or direct support from the original manufacturer or vendor. In the performance of any contract, the government will provide only limited support equipment to accomplish the repair task. A P4B test bed will be provided by the government. The test bed will be either NSN: 6625-01-376-0114TA or NSN: 6625-01-448-1114TA. The potential offeror must have a full complement of test equipment to accomplish test, evaluation, calibration, and verification of performance of each item. The complexity of the electronic items are of such a high level that the potential offeror must demonstrate before contract award that it has the requisite expertise. After contract award there will not be sufficient time available for a potential offeror to become trained on the repair of the items without serious impact to user support, which would result in either delayed, missed or ineffective training missions. Offerors, other than the listed approved sources, must provide proof of its capability and past relevant experience when bidding.
