SYNOPSIS: Air Force Life Cycle Management Center anticipates a contract requirement to provide a Main Cabin Lighting & Emergency Lighting System Investigation design solution to the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, E-3 AWACS SPO, Tinker AFB Oklahoma. The contractor shall provide engineering services to AFLCMC/HBS, E-3 Airborne Warning and Control, System (AWACS) Division, AFLCMC/HBSD, hereafter referred to as "AFLCMC/HBS" or "the Government". Additionally, AFLCMC/HBSD will be the focal point for USAF support on this contract. BACKGROUND: The USAF E-3 aircraft interior main cabin lighting system is experiencing Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS), which requires a cost effective solution. The contractor shall provide to the Government, a main cabin & emergency lighting system replacement design solution for the USAF E-3 aircraft. To accomplish this, the contractor shall provide engineering services to perform an analysis of the main cabin lighting & emergency lighting system, develop a prototype kit, and provide a design solution capable of normal operation & variable dimming, which complies with Mil-Std-1472G Department of Defense Design Criteria Standard Human Engineering, for the USAF E-3 aircraft. MAIN CABIN NORMAL LIGHTING SYSTEM: The main cabin normal lighting system includes both general and special lights, each with its own controls. The lights, both fluorescent and incandescent, provide direct lighting. The controls consist of toggle switches and dimmers. The dimmers, which control the level of lighting, are cylindrically-shaped variable transformers with integral on-off power switches. General lighting includes dimmable main overhead fluorescent lighting, nondimmable main overhead incandescent lighting, forward area lighting, aft area lighting, and aisle lighting. Interior aircraft fluorescent lighting system will operate normally when cabin temperature is raised to approximately 20°F. DIMMABLE MAIN OVERHEAD FLUORESCENT LIGHTS: Dimmable main overhead fluorescent lights provide the primary lighting from aircraft station location 420 to station 1080. There are twenty-eight of these lights each of which consists of two 48-inch long fluorescent lamps, a dimming ballast and a special lens to reduce glare on CRTs and other glass-like surfaces. The fluorescent lights are divided into three control zones with a dimmer for each zone. The forward zone dimmer on the P66 circuit breaker panel operates the four lights forward of station 600. The midzone dimmer on the P67 circuit breaker panel operates the twelve lights between station 600 and station 780. The aft zone dimmer on the P67 circuit breaker panel operates the twelve lights aft of station 780. The contractor shall determine a replacement for, the lighting Ballast, Part # 1278-1 (204-40310-1) NSN 6250-01-022-5868, the Fluorescent Light Dome - Part # 10-0728-1 (204-40309-1) NSN 6220-01-020-6592, and the Fluorescent Light - Part # F40/SPEC41/ALTO-1 (F40CW) NSN 6220-01-020-6592. NONDIMMABLE MAIN OVERHEAD INCANDESCENT LIGHTS: The nondimmable main overhead incandescent lights provide secondary lighting during a cold soak condition when the fluorescent lamps may be inoperative or during a failure of the fluorescent lighting. In addition, these lights provide high level emergency lighting. There are thirty-one of these incandescent fixtures located between or at the ends of the fluorescent lights and covering the same general area. Each incandescent light contains four lamps of which three are used for the secondary lighting. The fourth lamp is used for the high level emergency lighting. The secondary lighting is divided into two control zones. An on-off switch on the P66 circuit breaker panel operates the secondary lights forward of station 580. A second on-off switch on the P67 circuit breaker panel controls the remaining secondary lights. The contractor shall determine a replacement for the Incandescent Light Dome, Part # 10-0729-1(204-40309-4) NSN 6220-01-019-0499, and Incandescent Light Part # 2233, NSN 6240-01-015-6207. The contractor shall determine the feasibility of replacing all main cabin lighting & emergency lighting associated aircraft wiring, circuit breakers and variable control switches in the main cabin lighting system design cost effective solution. The Capability Statement shall succinctly address the following six items to demonstrate the contractor's capability to perform the requirements based on the attached Performance Work Statement: (1) The contractor's ability to manage, as prime contractor, the types and magnitude of tasking in the PWS; and (2) The contractor's technical ability, or potential approach to achieving technical ability, to perform at least 50% of the cost of the MAC task order incurred for personnel with its own employees; and (3) The contractor's capacity or potential approach to achieving capacity, to conduct the requirements of the PWS. For the purposes of this Capability Statement, capacity shall refer to matters such as the magnitude of the tasking, the amount of equipment or facilities involved, and the size of the staff needed; and (4) The contractor's ability to effectively manage multiple subcontractors in order to conduct all of the remaining requirements of the PWS that will not be performed with its own employees; and (5) The contractor's ability to support a multi-site workforce; and (6) The contractor's ability to have the technical data available either by reverse engineering all associated parts or leases the data from the OEM. Demonstrated ability to manage, technical ability and capacity may include citing (using contract and/or Task Order Number) and describing the same or similar relevant performance but does not limit the interested contractor's approach to demonstrate capability. NOTE: Only information provided in the written Capability Statement shall be considered. DISCLAIMER: THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT.
