J -- INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF XF4 ACOUSTIC PROJECTORS SOL N0001400Q0003 POC Genesta Belton, Contracting Officer, Code 252, (703) 696-4511, Fax: (703) 696-3365, E-mail: beltong@onr.navy.mil The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is in possession of a set of XF4 Flextensional Acoustic Projectors which were manufactured by Raytheon following a Lockheed Sanders design designated as the Mod 40. As a result, ONR intends to solicit Raytheon Systems Co., Lockheed Martin Corp. and any other interested parties in effecting the repair of three to five of these units. The proposed effort is in two phases. In the first phase the contractor will inspect the projectors to determine the cause of the failure, the likelihood of repairability and to generate a quote for affecting the repair of the units. The initial quote should be for the price of conducting the inspection, determining the repairability of the units and, if repairable, preparation of the repair proposal only. If, based on the price quote and determination of repairability provided to ONR some subset of the units can be repaired in a price effective manner, ONR may subsequently authorize the Phase I awardee to repair those subsets. The period of performance for Task 1 is three months after contract award. The period of performance for the Task 2 will be dependent on the result of Task 1. The Standard Industrial Classification code is 3699. Statement of Work: Task 1. The contractor shall inspect the projectors to determine the extent of damage and to determine the best approach to repairing any damage. As a minimum this should include inspection of the interior to determine if there has been damage from water intrusion potentially including arcing, corona or corrosion of interior components or deterioration of the composite shell. Results of the inspection should be used to generate a price quote for effecting the repair of the units under Task 2. Task 2. The contractor shall repair those flextensional projectors, which have been identified as repairable in a price effective manner as determined from the price quote in Task 1 and as specified by the Government. Conduct in-house performance test (contractor acoustic facility). Provide two weeks notice of testing to allow participation of Government observer in acoustic tests. All responsible sources may submit a quote, which shall be considered by ONR. Upon contract award of Task 1, the units to be repaired will be shipped to the contractor from SSC/SD along with the existing booting fixture. Evaluation of proposals will be based on the following criteria: (1) demonstrated experience in the design and manufacture of flextensional acoustic projectors: (2) proposed price and (3) best value to the government. This announcement constitutes the Request for Quotes in its entirety. Request for Quotes should be submitted before July 11, 2000. Send quotes for Task 1 to: Office of Naval Research, Attn: Ed Rynne, ONR 321MA, 4001 N. 9th Street, Randolph Towers, Room 106, Arlington, VA 22217-5660. Facsimile not accepted.
