This plane currently has the original avionics installed CN15000 Radio Stack with minor required upgrades. This plane is a Special Purpose Infrared Aircraft that was modified in 2002 with Line Scanner Provision and Equipment Rack Installation (located in the fairing on the left side of the aircraft). Scope of Contract The scope of this contract is to furnish all labor, tools, upgrade equipment, permits, and incidentals necessary to remove the existing CNI 5000 (Center Stack of Radios), remove pilot and co-pilot audio panels along with two cabin audio panels, remove the TCAS from Aft fuselage along with accompanying antennae, remove TCAS controller from below PFD, remove entire instrument panel, remove the KGP 860 (EGPWS computer- TAWS B). Remove TSO c91a ELT from aft fuselage, remove entire UNS FMS system, remove Weather Radar from Radome. The dual DME installation, Meggitt "Stand By" display, "Stand By" HSI (HSI-315A), and KMR675 Marker Beacons are to be interfaced into the new Garmin equipment and remain in the aircraft but will be relocated slightly in the panel per the STC. Under STC replace the radio stack with two gray, 20 Watt transmitter, Garmin GTN-750s, one above the other. Interface STC circuitry and any required annunciators to the Primus IFCS. This provides LPV autopilot coupled approaches per the STC. Replace the TCAS with a Garmin GTS 8000 and program with a TCAS II unlock card. Replace the panel mount transponders with two Garmin GTX 3000 remote transponders ("ADS B IN for TCAS II"). An FS 510 will be installed to allow flight plan programming from the I Pad to the GTN 750s, and an FS 210 will aloso be installed to allow the aircraft Flight Instruments to be presented on the I Pad as a "Back Up" feature. A Shadin AIS-380, or equivalent will be installed to convert analog fuel information to digital format for use within the GTN 750s. Install a GMA 35c remote audio unit. It will be used to replace the previously removed audio panels from the flight deck. Two Jupiter audio panels will be installed as the cabin audio panel replacements. A Technisonic TDFM 136B with 5 volt dimming will be installed in the console and replace the obsolete TDFM 136 currently installed in the panel. A GDL 69A satellite receiver will be installed for Nexrad and XM reception. A Garmin GWX 75 with a 12 inch array will be installed in the radome to replace the previously removed outdated weather radar system. The USDA Forest Service will add the aircraft to the already established XM subscription. During this downtime the autopilot roll servo will be removed by the contractor and transferred to the Forest Service. After the Forest Service has completed overhaul of this unit, it will be transferred back to the contractor for reinstallation.

The Government will consider the offeror's technical capability (provide copies of entity certifications for valid FAA Part 145 Repair Station Certificate with the appropriate ratings and documents as an authorized avionics dealer for the work to be performed under this contract) as well as experience of the entity, experience of key personnel/subcontractors and their performance on projects similar in nature, complexity and scope as the identified task. Personnel/subcontractors experience and performance will be evaluated through resumes, experience, education, certifications (provide copies of all applicable personnel certifications) and narratives of similar scope projects. -Technical Approach - This factor evaluates the offeror's technical approach proposed to accomplish the work. In evaluating the technical approach, the Government will consider: -the offeror's proposed project strategy for work accomplishment (through project timelines, spreadsheets, etc); -how the contractor plans to ensure any unanticipated delays, problems and changes are dealt with efficiently with minimum schedule disruption, -the Government will evaluate the equipment identified for use and dedication to this project, -the Government will consider for entities proposed quality control plan and how the contractor will mitigate any unacceptable equipment performance. -Biobased Products: The Government will consider the offeror's written policy stating its commitment to the use of biobased products, employee health and safety, and sound environmental management practices. The Government will also consider how the offeror intends to keep abreast of development and increasing availability of designated and non-designated biobased products and how any new or improved products will be incorporated in ongoing contract performance. Proper use, effectiveness of training programs for biobased product use and technical assistance to address how some biobased products may function differently than a convention product will also be considered. -Safety: This factor considers the offeror's safety record (including reportable incidents/injuries and mitigation strategies as documented through offeror's reporting system or state/federal reports) and their safety plan with annotations of project specific modifications/revisions, for a minimum of the past three years. The Government will evaluate to determine the likelihood of the offeror performing the required effort without any accidents or safety incidents. -Past Performance The Government considers "recent" present/past performance to be within the past 3 years The Government considers "relevant" present/past performance to be present/past performance efforts involved in similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities as this solicitation requires. -In order for the Government to access the contractor's success in performance on previous contracts, the contractor shall include the following information for "recent" and "relevant" contracts completed within the past 3 years. Previous Contract Information: Name of Contract Type of aircraft and the scope of work completed (location, size and complexity) Contract Number and Contract Value Date the project was completed or anticipated completion date Contracting Officer's/Contact Name, Address and VALID Telephone Number Name of company if you subcontracted out this work or if you acted as a subcontractor Whether the project was completed in a timely manner (if the project ran over schedule, why and how was that mitigated?) Installation of new equipment and evaluation and testing procedures for successful performance, and was there any work that received less than full pay or were there any penalties assessed? How the contractor mitigated any problems that arose during the contract The Government may also use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the offeror.

Technical and past performance, when combined, are of greater value when compared to price. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
