16 -- ENGINE MONITOR SYSTEM (EMS) US133 UPGRADE FOR THE ROLLS ROYCE F402-RR-408 ENGINE ON THE AV-8B NIGHT ATTACK AND HARRIER II PLUS PLATFORMS SOL N68936-00-R-0127 DUE 092500 POC Debbie Winfield, Contract Specialist, 760-939-9661, Contracting Officer, Diane E. Foucher, 760-939-8160 The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division intends to enter into negotiations for a Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract, on an Other Than Full and Open Competition basis, to Software Engineering Professionals (SEP) Inc., 655 W. Carmel Drive, Suite 100, Carmel, IN 46032, for the US133 Phase 2 software development effort. The US133 program has been divided into two (2) phases. In Phase 1, SEP provided the upgraded software suite for converting the DOS-based Data Processing Ground Station (DPGS) to the Windows-based AV-8B Maintenance Station (AMS). This is a follow-on contract to that Phase I effort. The scope of this contract is the development of an upgrade for the Engine Monitoring System (EMS) for the Rolls Royce F402-RR-408A/B engine on the AV-8B Night Attack and Harrier II Plus Platforms. The upgrade consists of implementing fixes to fleet reported anomalies in the form of software trouble reports and enhancements identified by Rolls Royce and the AV-8B Fleet Support Team. SEP has participated in the development of many engine monitoring, control, and service tool projects including the AV-8B Harrier. SEP, having provided the software engineering for Phase 1 of US133 is uniquely qualified to perform Phase II. The AMS software allows maintenance personnel to view and analyze EMS data, and provides maintenance diagnostics, for the AV-8B aircraft. SEP is the only known source for this effort due to their broad knowledge base of the Rolls Royce F402-RR-408A/B engine, the Engine Monitoring Unit (EMU), and the AV-8B Omnibus programs. In addition, SEP's ability to analyze how the EMU requirements, and modifications to the Data Storage Unit (DSU) ICD, affect the necessary software modifications to the AMS, is crucial to providing the correct and immediate response during the AMS development. The contract will be for an estimated period of performance of eleven months (date of award through 26 August 2001). Responses to this intent to solicit, other than from the source listed, will be required to submit informationto verify their prior experience in the development of Engine Monitoring Systems. These responses shall be submitted in writing to Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Code 210000D, Attn: Debbie Winfield, China Lake, CA 93555-6100. Questions may be addressed to Debbie Winfield, (760) 939-9661. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency.
