Description

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) is seeking potential sources to perform Engineering and Technical services in support of NAWCAD Test and Evaluation Department (AIR-4.11). It is anticipated that if award is made, it will be on a multiple award basis, therefore potential sources need not be capable of performing the entire effort. The services envisioned will provide test and evaluation engineering, ground, laboratory and flight test conduct and evaluation, analysis, test development, and warfare systems integration into all Naval aviation platforms. The platforms to be supported include the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), F/A-18, F-14, EA-6B, AV-8B, V-22, T-45, unmanned air vehicles, E-2C, MV-22, UH-1, AH-1, SH-60, HH-60, CH-53, MH-53, CH-46, H-46, S-3, land based aircraft C-130, KC-130, EP-3, P-3, E-6B, and T-34. Other systems and subsystems include but are not limited to: Tactical Air Combat Training System (TACTS), Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems (ATC&LS), Automatic flight Control systems (AFCS), night vision devices, integral cockpit lighting, mission planning, advanced technology demonstration, communication, navigation, sensors (EW, ESM, EO, Radar, Acoustics), integrated tactical decision aids, weapon engagement rehearsal aids, Carrier Suitability, Aircraft/Ship Dynamic interface, aircraft/weapon integration/separation testing, stores compatibility and separation testing, development of weapon employment data, Tactical Manual engineering support, mission software and hardware, and other externally directed programs. NAWCAD supports joint service programs in addition to JSF, such as CV-X, LH-X, Joint Precision Approach and Landing Systems (JPALS), and the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS). Responsibilities also include support to NAVAIR for programmatic issues involving test and evaluation of weapon systems as required. The North American Industry Classification System code is 54133.

Please include information about on-going contract(s) completed within the last five years, and identify any, which were under SIC, Code 8711.

Only companies, including their affiliates, with an average annual receipt of $20,000,000.00 or less during the last three (3)-completed fiscal years are considered small. If sufficient interest from small/small disadvantaged business is not received, the Government reserves the right to re-evaluate procurement strategy.

Respondents will not be contacted regarding their submission or information gathered as a result of this notice.
