This market survey is to satisfy an interpretation of Federal Acquisition Regulations concerning attempting to locate a potential qualified manufacturer who is capable to design, develop and manufacture a Du al Stabilator Controller (DSC), which is being developed by Sikorsky and Hamilton Sundstrand under contract W58RGZ-05-D-0309. The DSC is a single-box, high-reliability replacement for the two Stabilator Amplifiers installed in the UH-60 A/L Black Hawk Heli copter. The DSC resulting from a development contract awarded to Sikorsky/Hamilton Sundstrand by PM Black Hawk is a proprietary Sikorsky design that satisfies air-worthiness requirements. The equipment offered in response to this market survey must be flig ht qualified by AED and meet the Sikorsky/Hamilton Sundstrands Requirements Specification, SES-703750, for the DSC and the provisions of Interface Control Document, SER-703562. Only those offerors who can meet the total technical and delivery requirements with a fully qualified DSC that meets Form, Fit and Function requirements should respond. Offerors not providing proof of their ability as stated above, in response to this market survey, to the procuring activity no later than 3 July 2006 will not be con sidered. The Government is not planning a qualification test of equipment prior to Formal Solicitation. Offerors proof of their ability to meet Government requirements shall, as a minimum, include the following: A. AED certification of air worthiness based on equipment availability and validated bench and flight (helicopter) test data to show the offeror's c apability to meet the UH-60A/L Black Hawk operational requirements. B. Availability of operational manuals (draft manuals acceptable). C. Ability to meet government total delivery requirement commencing 11 months after award of contract at a rate of 100 sets per month. D. Ability to restore the unserviceable DSC to a servi ceable condition that meets the requirements of the Sikorsky/Hamilton Sundstrand Requirements Specification, SES 703750, for the Dual Stabilator Controller.
