- SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS: Notice Type: REPAIR OF F-16 IO Card Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) Synopsis: 1. NOTICE : This is not a solicitation but rather a SSS to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only. 1. 1 The purpose of this SSS is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, to assist in determining if this effort can be competiti v e or a total Small Business Set - A s ide. The proposed North American Industry Clas s ification Systems (NAICS) Code is 811219 which has a corresponding Size s tandard of $20.5M. The Government will use this in f ormation to determine the best acquisition strategy for this repair. The Government is interested in all small businesses to include 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. The government requests that i n terested parties re s pond to this notice if applicable and identify your s mall business status to the identified NAICS code. Additionally, please provide any anticipated teaming arrangements, along with a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers for the past three years. Please provide a brief description of how the limitations listed in section 2.b below will be overcome in order to meet the Government's requirement listed in section 2.a below. Any responses involving teaming agreements should delineate between the work that will be accomplished by the prime and the work accomplished by the teaming partners. 2. Program Details : •a. REQUIREMENTS •(1) The I/O Discrete Fail Logic Card (Part Number 7001644-49) is a subassembly of the Digital Flight Controller within the F-16 Block 40/42/50/52 Flight Controls System. The I/O Logic Card performs amplifier commands for the Integrated Servo Actuator amplifier and provides an interface for discrete signal processing, upon input from the pilot. •(2) The repaired I/O Discrete Fail Logic Card must be in full compliance and assembled in accordance with OEM specifications and drawings. The required specifications and drawings are proprietary to the OEM and will not be provided. •(3) Potential sources shall be capable of furnishing all labor, materials, facilities (owned or operated by the contractor) and equipment required to accomplish the repair of the item listed below. Generally, the work to be accomplished includes disassembly (completely or substantially into individual component parts), machining, cleaning, inspection, assembly, testing, preservation, and packaging to return an unserviceable "F-Condition" asset to a like-new "A-Condition" asset. Additionally, potential sources may be responsible for supply chain management, logistics planning, forecasting production requirements, long-lead time parts procurement, diminishing manufacturing sources, material shortage issues, and shipping serviceable assets. •(4) Potential sources may be responsible for nonrecurring engineering costs associated with becoming an approved source. •b. LIMITATIONS. The Government does not have drawings below the product specification from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The Government has no other engineering data and/or data rights related to this synopsis. No data other than the product specification can be provided to interested companies. In addition the Government does not have sufficient data/rights to be able to independently evaluate and qualify potential repair sources to maintain the I/O Logic Card Operational Safety, Suitability, and Effectiveness (OSS&E). Prior to requesting Government qualification, companies interested in becoming a qualified Government repair source should first obtain the I/O Logic Card Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Honeywell International (CAGE 07187), authorization/certification to accomplish repairs. If OEM authorization is not received, the company seeking Government source approval will need to clearly identify how the company will overcome the lack of Government data/rights and maintain the I/O Logic Card OSS&E in order to potentially allow Government qualification independent of the OEM authorization/certification. •c. REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. Interested parties are requested to submit the following information to assist the Government in developing the repair strategy. Please submit this information to the contracting officer via email as soon as possible but not later than 11 December, 2017 : •1) Basic Company Information: Company Representative Address Telephone Email Address DUNS Number CAGE Code and/or Tax ID Number Socioeconomic Status (Large, Small, Small Disadvantaged, etc.) •2) White Paper. Please provide a brief White Paper describing the company capabilities for the following (to utilize the services of sub-tier vendors or subcontractors, please include similar information for those vendors or subcontractors too): •a) Repairing, testing, trouble shooting, component part support, and manufacturing of the I/O Discrete Fail Logic Card. •b) Past production experience, supplying I/O Discrete Fail Logic Card parts, testing knowledge and capabilities, description of facilities, personnel, related manufacturing experience, and existing safety approvals. •c) If an interested party anticipates a teaming arrangement, please describe the teaming arrangement. •d) Please provide a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers within the last three years. •e) Please provide documentation identifying repair authorization/certification from the I/O Discrete Fail logic Card OEM or how the lack of Government data/rights will be overcome such that the Government could accomplish independent source qualification.
