E-MAIL: AnnMarie.Morris@wpafb.af.mil, AnnMarie.Morris@wpafb.af.mil. Background " The objective of this synopsis is to seek interested sources able to produce Group A retrofit kits and provide support for the installation of the BOL-515 Countermeasures Dispenser System on F-15A/B/C/D/E aircraft. The BOL Countermeasures Dispenser system, manufactured by Celsius Tech Electronics, now a part of Saab of Sweden, is exclusively sold within the United States by BAE Systems of Austin, Texas. The BOL dispenser system is currently fielded on Navy F-14's and has been evaluated under a Foreign Comparative Test (FCT) program by the Air Force for use on F-15's. Upon successful completion of the FCT program, the Air Force plans to procure BOL Group A installation kits and retrofit F-15s for BOL installation. The BOL dispenser is mounted into the Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) LAU-128 missile launcher. The contractor shall be responsible for producing all Group A components of the kit necessary to integrate the BOL dispenser system into the F-15 and have it function. The contractor shall be responsible for modifying all Group A associated software and support equipment. The contractor shall be responsible for packaging and shipping of the kits, and shall support depot teams during the retrofit process. The contractor may be required to provide field teams for retrofit at Government bases. The contractor shall be required to produce approximately 130-715 kits, with delivery starting approximately Apr 2002 and continuing through approximately FY07, depending on quantity. The integration effort to identify the requirements for the Group A retrofit kits is being performed by McDonnell Douglas Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company under Contract F33657-99-C-0032. The integration contract was awarded in Oct 1999 and will continue through approximately May 2002. It is expected that the first lot of Group A production will be manufactured concurrently during the performance of the integration effort by Boeing. This overlap is necessary due to the requirement to field this system as quickly as possible. Offers will be considered from any firm providing clear and convincing evidence of its capability to meet all of the following criteria: (a) Capability to produce the above kits to be compatible with the current and planned configurations of the F-15A/B/C/D/E; (b) Capability to assist retrofit/modification activities on all configurations of the F-15A/B/C/D/E; (c) Capability to provide field teams for retrofit at Government bases: (d) Capability to conduct systems engineering and project management for the system; and (e) Capability to provide all required engineering data. Note: Level 3 drawing documentation defining the Group A is not being procured by the United States Government. The contractor will have to enter into a relationship with Boeing to procure the data for the Group A design. Sources responding should provide information concerning key management and program personnel including a resume of their previous experience and evidence of capability to perform successfully. This statement will have a ten (10) page maximum limit, double-spaced, point size 12. The Standard Industrial Code (SIC) for this procurement action is 3728. Please indicate number of employees in relation to the 1,000-person size standard, for determination of small business status. Failure to provide the above data with your response to this notice may disqualify your firm from further consideration. Information requested herein is for planning purposes only. It does not constitute a request for proposal and is not construed as a commitment by the Government. All responses from responsible sources will be fully considered; however, receipt of responses will not be acknowledged. All respondents are reminded that the Government must receive all responses within 30 days of publication of this notice. An Ombudsman has been established for this acquisition.
