E-MAIL: Jeff Cox, coxjd@eglin.af.mil. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with FAR Subpart 12.6, current through FAC 97-15, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The SIC code for this acquisition is 3663. The contractor shall upgrade 23 Government-owned AN/ASQ-T-27 (P4B) Aircraft Instrumentation Subsystem (AIS) pods by incorporating Global Positioning System (GPS) based position tracking, a recording capability, provisions within the pod for adding a data encryption module in the future. The requirement includes any modifications to ground equipment necessary to add the GPS and pod-recorder capabilities. The Government cost estimate cost for this acquisition is approximately $2M. All deliveries are FOB destination within two years. Schedule to be proposed by offeror. A technical library that includes relevant background information for this acquisition has been established at SEMCOR, Inc., 368 Adams Ave, Valparaiso FL 32580. Certification for access to DOD Scientific and Technical Information (STINFO) is required. Contact Mr. Bob North at 850-678-7887 for further information. Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001: Modified P4G Pods -- Modify 23-each Government-furnished AN/ASQ-T27 (P4B) Aircraft Instrumentation Subsystem (AIS) pods to improve GPS-based time space position instrumentation (TSPI) accuracy and provide a pod-based mission data recording/replay capability, with provisions for future encryption capability. Tracking accuracy shall be at least 10 ft in the x and y reference and 15 ft in z reference. It shall be possible to conduct postmission debriefings of training conducted beyond the range of tracking system interrogators. FOB: destination, Goldwater Range Measurement and Debriefing System (GRMDS), Luke AFB, AZ. Delivery schedule: to be proposed in terms of days after receipt/availability of GFP. General pod modification characteristics: Modification of the P4B pod shall include: (1) addition of a GPS receiver with a close-coupled Inertial Navigation System (INS); (2) addition of a mission data recording device (DRD) that stores at least 180 minutes of mission data; and (3) upgrade of the P4B hardware configuration to make it possible to subsequently implement encryption of the GRMDS datalink with no changes to pod hardware except pod-shop installation of a KGV-23 Advanced Message-Oriented Data Security Module (AMODSM) (note that the subsequent effort to encrypt the datalink will include the required software changes). The upgraded P4B pod, termed P4GR, shall include an AMODSM-bypass (Null-AMODSM) that replicates AMODSM mass properties. For each P4GR, the DRD shall include one removable PCMCIA flash card and two extras. (4) The P4GR shall interface to the Goldwater (Luke AFB) range utilizing uplink and downlink format 10 for GPS tracking. (5) The contractor shall support certification of the P4GR AIS for carriage on combat aircraft IAW Air Force Instruction 63-104 (SEEK EAGLE). (6) The P4GR shall retain all of the capabilities of the P4B AIS (System Specification 8901A004) with the exception of SHRIKE mission data and 20-ms frame datalink operation. CLIN 0002: Modification of Ground Equipment -- Ground station display and debriefing instrumentation shall be modified to accommodate display of recorded mission data. Changes to the Goldwater ground system baseline shall be minimized and limited to processing unique P4GR hardware status and navigation filter information, transmitted in the downlink that would be necessary for proper operation. The GPMP shall include a Data Merging Device (DMD) that shall: (1) have the capability to merge within 30 minutes, for post mission display and debriefing, mission data stored on up to 36 flash cards recorded on P4GR pods, without any modification to flash cards or the GRMDS DMD; (2) selectively interface to any Advanced Display and Debriefing Subsystem (ADDS) at Luke AFB to facilitate receiving the live recorded mission data file and providing a final merged mission file with weapons simulation fly-outs and results for display; (3) have the capability to provide a final merged mission file that consists of mission data from a local ADDS recorded live file and data from P4GR DRD memory cards; and (4) operate separately and independent of GRMDS Control and Computation Subsystem (CCS) operations. CLIN 0003 Spares:. Offerors shall provide a priced list of the spare and repair parts and consumables recommended to support the upgrades to the P4GR pods and the ground system instrumentation for a 2-year period. The Government will select items to be provided. CLIN 0004 Test Set Upgrade: The contractor shall upgrade two (2) AN/ASM-694 AIS/AISI Test Sets at Luke AFB and three (3) test sets at the Hill AFB depot to add the capability to support the upgraded P4GR pods. Both hardware and software upgrades may be required. CLIN 0005 Data: The contractor shall: (1) Provide all commercial manuals, drawings, schematics, parts lists, etc. for the equipment furnished and shall update existing system documentation to reflect the changed configuration. (1) Update all documentation for the P4B pod, the AN/ASM-694 test set, and the GRMDS to reflect the delivered configuration of the GPMP system. (2) Provide the documentation needed to obtain nomenclature, (3) Provide required documentation in support of SEEK EAGLE activities and (4) Propose a contract data requirements list (CDRL). GPMP documentation shall fully support the operation and life cycle maintenance of the upgraded GRMDS using the existing GRMDS maintenance concept (reference P4B and P4G pod documentation and GRMDS documentation in the technical library). Government-Furnished Property (GFP): The Government will provide: 23-each AN/ASQ-T27 (P4B) AIS pods to be modified, pod shipping containers if required, access to the Goldwater range, and access to test sets. The offeror shall identify in the proposal the need date for the pods, range, and any additional GFP required to support the proposed upgrade effort. Testing: The contractor shall plan and conduct sufficient tests to verify that the delivered GRMDS upgrades meet contract requirements. Previously tested equipment need not be retested if sufficient test documentation exists. FAR Clauses: The following FAR clauses apply to this solicitation: 52.212-12-1, Instructions to Offerors _ Commercial Items; 52.212-2, Evaluation _ Commercial Items [Evaluation will be based on Past Performance, Price, Mission Capability, and Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) Participation]; 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items (Offerors shall submit a completed copy of the Representations and Certifications with their offer); 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions _ Commercial Items.
