E-MAIL: Use this email address to request a copy of the solicitation., lori_b_horning@fmso.navy.mil. The Fleet & Industrial Supply Center (FISC), San Diego, CA. (FISC SD) intends to award a contract to Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany, on an other than full and open basis, for commercial depot level refurbishment of KS-153A Camera Sets, Still Picture, Part Number 593630-0000.000, associated camera components, and the LM-236A Test Program Sets (TPS's). Incorporation and completion of this engineering change will refurbish and repair the camera systems to a standard configuration, replace obsolete parts and procure corresponding integrated logistics support (ILS)/ data. Data required with the refurbished camera include "I" level technical manual/engineering source data, level II drawings, and provisioning data for the KS-153A camera as well as level II drawings, source data and provisioning data for the LM-236 TPS. The above refurbishment will be accomplished over a base and four option year period. The award will be made on an other than full and open basis because only Carl Zeiss can correctlyrefurbish and test the KS-153A camera set and software modifications because as the designer and sole producer, CZO owns all proprietary data associated with the camera and is the only contractor possessing the manufacturing capability, technical skills, and large scale precision photogrammetry equipment required. The KS-153A camera is the only camera that has: (a) the ability to obtain high resolution images of a target at a fast speed, low to high altitude, and, most importantly, the ability to obtain these images of a target from a stand-off location, ensuring greater safety for flight crews; (b) Includes an auto-focus feature which assures high resolution images for each mission with altitude and distance from the target as variables; (c) Includes a rugged ability to withstand deployment aboard an aircraft carrier, and take the "G" forces associated with an arrested landing; and (d) Is compatible with the F-14 Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance Pod System (TARPS) and can be controlled from the F-14 cockpit. Responses to this intent to solicit, other than Carl Zeiss must be submitted in accordance with CBD Note 22. Also see Notes 12 and 26. (0282)
