E-MAIL: DIRECTORATE OF CONTRACTING, tamia.true@edwards.af.mil. The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), Edwards AFB, CA intends to negotiate a sole source follow-on contract with SCI Technology, Inc. (Huntsville, AL) for the continued support of test customers who use the Advanced Airborne Test Instrumentation System, its Mini-Series airborne components, and the core Common Airborne Instrumentation System (CAIS)*, unless responses to this synopsis reveal other sources capable of satisfying the requirement. The requirements include production, system enhancement, depot retrofit/repair, and related technical support of these flight test data acquisition systems. *Note: The term “core CAIS” refers only to the CAIS equipment built by SCI Technology, Inc. The Advanced ATIS and CAIS systems are of the Mil-spec type, while its Mini-Series is of the commercial category. Selectable bit rates from 2 KBPS to 16 MBPS and operating on the CAIS bus, these flight instrumentation systems can be tailored in size, capability, and cost to meet individual projectrequirements. A fixed-priced 5 year requirements contract (FY2001-FY2005) with one 3-year option is contemplated, to provide support to a (significant – removed) number of test program customers at Edwards AFB, CA; Eglin AFB, FL; the Naval Air Warfare Center, Patuxent River, MD; the U.S. Army Aviation Technical Test Center, Fort Rucker, AL; and at other test facilities. To maintain standardization, commonality, and interoperability among test programs, interested sources must be able to provide (a) equivalent replacement airborne instrumentation equipment that are form-fit-functionally compatible with the existing installed airborne components in the test aircraft, (b) compatible programming/data processing software, (c) depot retrofit/repair services, and (d) related technical support. Interested contractors must submit clear and convincing documentation that fully defines their capability to meet the requirements. Requests for the solicitation which fail to provide the required capability demonstration will not be acknowledged. Telephone requests to be placed on the mailing list will not be honored.
