B -- ENGINE TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM SOL 00R0003 DUE 110199 POC Chuck Szydlik,(937)255-2619 Ext. 3024 WEB: 00R0003-Engine Technology Improvement Program, http://www.pixs.wpafb.af.mil/pixslibr/00R0003/00R0003.asp. E-MAIL: charles.szydlik@wpafb.af.mil, charles.szydlik@wpafb.af.mil. Background "The Propulsion Development Systems Office is contemplating the award of contract for analyses, demonstrations, evaluations, tests, and studies that support aircraft gas turbine engine developments for engine capability enhancements and new applications for existing propulsion systems under the Engine Technology Improvement Program (ETIP). ETIP transitions technology and enhances existing military aircraft propulsion systems by incorporating demonstrated engine technology. This is accomplished through incorporation of performance, operability, reliability, maintainability, supportability, survivability, producibility, affordability, test, and life cycle cost improvements to aircraft propulsion systems. Successful contractors must as a minimum document or demonstrate the following in-house capabilities with respect to aircraft propulsion systems: (1) possess a baselined engine suitable for military application, (2) perform engine development and productions, (3) possess experience with systemand subsystem contractors in providing interface definition, performance estimates, engine duty cycle definition, airframe and engine design trade study analyses, and life cycle cost analyses, (4) demonstrate technology by analyzing, designing, and testing propulsion hardware, (5) perform engine feasibility studies for conceptual airframe design (s), (6) define specification requirements for propulsion systems, (7) generate and provide plans that describe the technical effort, schedule, hardware definition, and funding requirements for the initial development phases, (8) provide plans and specifications for Concept Exploration, Engineering Manufacturing and Development, and Production efforts, (9) satisfy secret level classification security requirements, and (10) perform logistics support analysis including support functions such as (a) technical order writing, (b) training, (c) support equipment, (d) repairs development, (e) facilities, and (f) supply support. The Task Order performance period will begin upon receipt, by the contractor of a fully executed copy of the contract and will continue for a period of fifteen years. Estimated duration of tasks will have a performance of four months to thirty-six months. This requirement is designated as SIC 3724 with a size standard of 1,000 employees. Upon responding, please state whether your firm is a large or small business. An Ombudsman has been established for this acquisition. The purpose of the Ombudsman is to receive and communicate serious concerns from potential offerors when an offeror prefers not to use established channels to voice concerns during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. All potential sources should use established channels to voice concerns during the development phase of this acquisition. Upon responding to this synopsis, potential sources expressing interest must provide written documentation such as a copy, an excerpt, or citation of the specific technical effort that demonstrates the source<,s ability to satisfy all tenof the above technical criteria. Please include the following contract award data for current and previous technical contracts for aircraft gas turbine engine efforts: (1) the contract number(s), (2) the contracting activity(ies), (3) the date of contract award, (4) the contract performance period, (5) the scope of technical requirements, and (6) the dollar amount of each contract. This information should be sent to ASC/LPKB, Building 28, 2145 Monahan Way, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433 not later than 11/1/99. The point of contact is Chuck Szydlik, (937) 255-6471 x3024. An Ombudsman has been established for these acquisitions. The only purpose of the Ombudsman is to receive and communicate serious concerns from potential sources when a source prefers not to use established channels to communicate his concerns. Potential offerors should use established channels to request information, pose questions, and voice concerns before resorting to the use of the Ombudsman. Potential offerors are invited to contact ASC<,s Ombudsman (Mr. Stephen Plaisted), ASC/SY, Bldg 572, 1790 10th Street, Room 102.01, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433-7630 at (937) 255-9095, or stephen.plaisted@ascsy.wpafb.af.mil.. The Ombudsman should only be contacted with issues or problems that have been previously brought to the attention of the contracting officers and could not be satisfactorily resolved at that level. Routine communication concerning this acquisition should be directed to the appropriate point of contact listed herein." Posted 09/24/99 (D-SN384262). (0267)
