FIXED AIRCREW SEAT STANDARDIZATION SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS Fixed Aircrew Seat Standardization Sources Sought Synopsis The purpose of this Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) is to determine the feasibility of a standardized fixed aircrew seat across multiple USAF cargo aircraft platforms. The goal is to identify one basic seat with slight modifications to meet different aircrew positions and different aircraft models or series. The aircraft to be included are C-5, C-135, C-130, C- 141 and E-3. The baseline seat and all modifications must meet 16-G static and dynamic load requirements. Seats shall be subjected to the minimum 16-G military static load tests using a 250-LB occupant. The seats shall withstand this minimum loading or a duration of 60 seconds without failure. Following successful static load testing, the contractor shall subject the seat to dynamic tests IAW SAE AS 8049 Figure 6 using a 250-LB occupant. Should standardization appear feasible, a follow-on request for proposal (RFP) may or may not be issued. Currently, no funding is available for this initiative. Accordingly, be advised that this is not a RFP and this SSS in no way obligates the government to award a contract. The government will not compensate any interested party, firm or individual that may respond to this SSS. Formal responses to this SSS should be limited to two, 8 x 11 typed pages and should detail the experience and capabilities of your firm to perform the task outlined above. All responses should be by e-mail and sent to norma.kreutzkamp@brooks.af.mil . Point of contact is Norma L. Kreutzkamp, Contracting Officer, 311 HSW/YACL, 7909 Lindbergh Dr., Brooks AFB, TX 78235, (210) 536-4919. This notice will stay open for 45 days from posting.
