54 -- SOURCES SOUGHT FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE SOL M00146-00-Q-1001 DUE 030100 POC Paula Salter, Contracting Officer, 252-466-2846, or Steve Ellis, Equipment Planning and Engineering Branch Head, 252-464-7615 SOURCES SOUGHT MARKET RESEARCH ONLY. The Naval Aviation Depot, Marine Corps Air Station, Cherry Point, NC has a requirement for equipment, consultation, services and training to implement various integrated predictive maintenance (PdM) technologies. The PdM technologies shall include instrumentation and equipment, integrating off-the-shelf advertised software, on-site and off-site consultation, manpower support, and training. The request relates to the following seven (7) technologies: (1) Vibration Analysis; (2) Fluid Analysis; (3) Corrective Toolkit, Balance and Laser Alignment; (4) Integrating Predictive Maintenance Software, Mastertrend Software; (5) Induction Motor Current Analysis; (6) Ultrasonic Inspection; and (7) Infrared Thermography. The NADEP is in search of single vendor sources of specific products and services relating to Best Business Practice (Maintenance). The PdM technologies application will be on general industrial equipment and plant assets. It is requested that information be provided in four (4) sections: instrumentation/equipment/software package; services/consultation package; training package; and, integration package. The instrumentation package shall describe in detail all instrumentation, equipment, software, services, consultation and training offered from the single vendor source. Standard literature highlighting the salient specifications and features will suffice. Software should highlight its integrating features of the other PdM technologies. The services/consultation package shall be arranged in three sections: initial, startup and continuing. The initial services/consultation section shall describe the vendor's services/ consultation offerings to industry that is beneficial prior to implementing the listed PdM technologies. The startup services/consultation section shall describe the vendor's services/consultation offerings to industry that is beneficial during the implementation of the listed PdM technologies. The continuing services/consultation section shall describe the vendor's service/consultation offering to industry that is beneficial after implementation of the listed PdM technologies. The training package shall include all training on-site/off-site offered by the vendor. A description of each training offering shall be included along with how each training offering leads to operator certification in the respective PdM technologies. The training package shall include shall include a description of operation/certification programs. The integration package shall include a description of the vendor's ability to integrate the PdM technologies instrumentation/equipment/software, service/consultation, and training. The integration package shall highlight how each element is to function together to achieve desired results critical in implementing a successful PdM effort. The products and services are to be commercially available, off-the-shelf, ready-to-sell, and currently advertised for sale in the commercial marketplace. The government is not interested in new-to-the-marketplace or prototype equipment and systems. The government is targeting these PdM technologies to support the following goals: (1) Increase availability of specific production equipment to support our increasing production efforts; (2) Increase reliability and readiness of specific production equipment to support our production demands; (3) Reduce our time to repair for specific production equipment; (4) Diagnose root cause of equipment failure for purposes of failure prevention; (5) Optimize maintenance planning efforts to schedule and coordinate equipment repairs with our production efforts; (6) Reduce the need to maintain and store critical and expensive repair parts; (7) Ability to maintain adequate equipment fitness in support of our facility's mission; (8) Reduce our corrective maintenance expenditures by minimizing catastrophic failures; (9) Reduce unscheduled downtime for critical production equipment; (10) Optimize existing Corrective maintenance (CM) and Preventive Maintenance (PM) efforts. The types of equipment targeted for application of the PdM technologies are various air compressors, vacuum pumps, grinding machines, milling machines, boring machines, dynamometers, cooling towers, electrical distribution systems, steam distribution systems, etc. Although not our primary focus for this effort, application of the technologies to troubleshoot problems with various aircraft components is probable. NO SOLICITATION EXISTS AT THIS TIME. This request is for information only and is intended to identify companies capable of providing the PdM technologies described herein. When responding, reference Announcement #M00146-00-Q-1001, provide the company name, point of contact, telephone and facsimile numbers, Internet address, business size and specific information and literature regarding your capabilities. THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT INTEND TO AWARD A CONTRACT ON THE BASIS OF THIS SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT OR TO OTHERWISE PAY FOR THE INFORMATION REQUESTED HEREIN.
