Contact Mr. Daniel Chambers (Contract Specialist), Phone (301) 757-6539, Daniel.Chambers@navy.mil or Candice Anderson (Contracting Officer), Phone (301) 757-6520, Candice.Anderson@navy.mil!! 12. N/A!! 13. N/A!! 14. N/A!! 15. N/A!! 16. N/A!! 17. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIRSYSCOM) PMA-275 intends to award a Task Order on a Sole-Source basis under BOA N00019-05-G-0008 to Raytheon Technical Services Corporation (RTSC) to provide services and products in the areas of V-22 Avionics Systems and Software Engineering (AS2E) and V-22 Software Support Activity (SSA). This effort requires intricate knowledge of avionics systems and software used by the V-22 platform, which is poised for three key program milestones - Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for MV-22 occurring in FY08, Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) for CV-22, also occurring in FY08, and CV-22 IOC in FY09. Additionally, the SSA will be issuing a software suite release to the MV-22 and CV-22 fleet in FY-09. RTSC is the only known source independent of the V-22 prime contractor that has the prerequisite knowledge and expertise required to execute the following efforts without significantly impacting schedule and cost constraints of the program: (A) V-22 Avionics Systems and Software Engineering. RTSC will continue to provide avionics development systems engineering for the MV-22 block C and CV-22 Block 20 developments. RTSC avionics system engineers provide independent assessment of the V-22 prime contractor?s avionics development, integration and test for MV-22 Block C and CV-22 Block 20. RTSC systems engineers review and generate Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) that affect V-22 avionics. RTSC will continue to provide avionics development systems engineering, Configuration Management (CM), Data Management (DM), and logistics engineering for Full Authority Digital Engine Controller (FADEC), engine and aircraft health monitoring systems (Vibration, Structural Life, and Engine Diagnostics (VSLED)), Drive System Interface Unit (DSIU), Ice Protection System (IPS), Wing Fire Protection Controller (WFPC), Fuel Management System (FMS), Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR), Dual Digital Map System (DMS), Display Electronics Unit (DEU), Control Display Unit (CDU)/Engine Instrument Crew Alerting System (EICAS), Advanced Mission Computer (AMC), Night Vision Goggle (NVG)/Heads Up Display (HUD), Communication Switching Unit (CSU), Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), Directed Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM), Suite of Integrated Radio Frequency Countermeasures (SIRFC), Terrain Avoidance Warning System (TAWS), Flight Director and Coupled Modes (FDCM) and a Multi-Mode Radar (MMR) for low altitude "nap of the earth" flying. RTSC engineers also provide extensive inputs into avionics development, integration, and production by working on V-22 avionics Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) with the V-22 prime contractor (Bell-Boeing), avionics suppliers, and the government. RTSC is the government's designated representative to perform Formal Qualification Testing (FQT) of the V-22 Operational Flight Program (OFP), JVX Application System Software (JASS). (B) V-22 Software Support Activity (SSA) and Software Development. RTSC will continue to provide avionics systems and software engineering to resolve post-production issues and develop enhancements for autopilot (a.k.a. Flight Director), navigation, control of communication systems, aircraft & engine health monitoring, mission management and mission planning correlation, sensors & electronic warfare management, and reporting and management of various other subsystems. The SSA is responsible for issuing software suite updates to the V-22 fleet. The Navy intends to award a Sole-Source, Cost Plus Fixed Fee Delivery Order for this requirement. The period of performance is to start 02 January 2008 through 31 December 2008. The estimated issue date for this Order is 02 January 2008. Services under current contract number N00019-05-G-0008-3001 with Raytheon Technical Services Corporation expire 31 December 2007. This synopsis is for information purposes only.*****
