The JSECST program office (ASC/SMNT) is seeking sources to produce and support the JSECST system. The function of the JSECST system is to provide an end-to-end (ETE) functional testing capability to determine the status of Electronic Combat (EC) systems installed in/on operational aircraft. It will automatically determine GO/NO-GO status of the EC system with minimal technician interaction. In cases where the EC system has a critical fault, the JSECST will identify the critical failure and/or the ETE functional test that failed and will provide fault isolation by identifying the failed aircraft transmission line path/component or line replaceable unit. The JSECST can be operated in either automatic or manual mode. The JSECST system consists of Core Test Sets (CTS) and Test Program Sets (TPS) for the F-15C (Suite 4), F-15E, F-16 Blocks 40/50/52, F-16 Blocks 25/30/32/42, A/OA-10, AV-8B, F- 14B/D, F/A-18A/B & E/F, and associated pods with any of the aforementioned platforms. Additional JSECST systems may be required for other potential platforms. JSECST system requirements include approximately 306 CTS units with a planned buy profile of 92 units in FY01, 136 units in FY02, and 78 units in FY03. Lot buy profile is subject to change. Effort also includes any non-recurring engineering to resolve parts obsolescence issues, refurbishment of developmental hardware, produce initial spares and long lead items, finalize technical orders, provide any necessary training, facilitate a final provisioning conference, 1-3 TPS for each CTS, and any other activities the Government deems necessary for JSECST production release. TPS consist of test program/test program media, test program interface hardware, and test program instructions. JSECST system support consists of repairs to CTS and TPS hardware, software maintenance, and any other activities the Government deems necessary to support fielded JSECST systems. Support is planned for two consecutive one-year efforts. JSECST's EMD was competitively awarded in Mar 96 to AAI Corp of Baltimore, MD. This contract is scheduled for completion in Jan 01. EMD for additional TPS was awarded sole source to the same contractor in Jun 00 with phased completion from Oct 01 through Dec 02. The production build of the TPS will have concurrency with the phased TPS EMD efforts. The TPS EMD efforts will be completed approximately 1-3 months prior to production deliveries. The program office plans to award this contract for production and support of the JSECST system in Mar 01 in order to meet the User's Required Assets Availability (RAA) date of Dec 01. The Government does not own a technical reprocurement data package for the JSECST system. The Government will not serve as the system integrator. The Government requirement is for a contractor to produce and support complete JSECST systems. Responsible sources who feel they meet the above requirements are invited to submit a Statement of Capabilities (SOC) to the Government. SOC's shall not exceed 5 pages and shall include: (1) Plan on obtaining the required technical reprocurement data package to produce and support the JSECST system. (2) Plan on managing JSECST production requirements with JSECST EMD concurrency without requiring the government to act as system integrator. Potential suppliers would have to resolve all concurrency issues with the EMD prime contractor. (3) Plan on the ability to meet the schedule and quantities outlined above. (4) Description of existing Electronic Warfare production and logistic support experience as a prime contractor or subcontractor within the past 10 years. (5) Qualifications of lead management, engineering, manufacturing, and test personnel who may be assigned to this project. (6) Information on existing plant facilities needed to accomplish the program. (7)Capability to provide for the security of classified and up to Secret level documentation. (8) Any other specific and pertinent information that would enhance the Government's consideration and evaluation of the information submitted. Above Items 1, 2 and 3 are viewed as key discriminators by the Government for a supplier to fulfill the requirements of this announcement, and Items 4-7 essential to program execution if the key discriminators can be met. All respondents shall indicate whether they are a large, small, or small disadvantaged business in relation to SIC Code 3812, size standard 750 employees. The Government reserves the right to set this action aside for small business. Foreign companies are not eligible as prime contractors for this development. Foreign-owned U.S. companies are not foreign companies. Release of classified technical data to foreign-owned U.S. companies is dependent upon the type of facility security clearance under which the company is operating. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this synopsis. 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.
