- Description
- Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) Number N68936-00-G-0001 is for Thin-Pack Parachute Systems, subsystem, components, related assemblies and engineering/logistical support with SEI, Asheville, NC. Order 0012 is for development support for Thin-Pack/AFSOC version 2 for the U.S. Air Force. Version 2 builds upon the Air Force's Version 1 of the Navy's P-3 Thin-Pack Parachute on Order 0001 of the BOA and Thin-Pack technology for the drogue of the Navy's E-2C Thin-Pack Parachute Survival Ensemble on Orders 0002 and 0005 of the BOA. This requirement is being negotiated on a sole source basis with SEI as the Thin-Pack drawing packages have proprietary markings making design information unreleaseable. SEI is the only source currently producing the parachute systems incorporating the Thin-Pack/Lightweight Environmentally Sealed Parachute Assembly (LESPA) technology. The "Thin-Pack" lightweight systems have a 5 1/2 year repack cycle (versus 240-670 days) with a goal of 27.5 years total life (versus 10 years). No other source has SEI's unique knowledge and expertise in the Thin-Pack technology for P-3 and E-2C and its application for the Air Force Versions 1 and 2. The scope of this order includes 1) planning support, 2) design, 3) design verification, 4) production process verification, 5) fabrication of prototypes, 6) hardware interface, and 7) testing support for development of Air Force Version 2 of Thin-Pack. Proposed order type: cost plus fixed fee/level of effort. Anticipated Period of Performance: Eleven months from Award to completion. FOB Destination. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal or quotation, which will be considered by the Agency. Interested parties other than SEI must respond in writing (via mail, email, or fax) demonstrating the offeror's experience and capabilities in parachutes incorporating the Thin-Pack technology and the level of maintenance support required by the Government. Address: Commander Code 210000D, NAWCWD, Attn: William T. Monckton, 1 Administration Circle, Bldg. 20259, China Lake, CA 93555-61000. RFP is available at https://contracts.nawcwd.navy.mil/. Anticipate release date of RFP: April 18, 2002. Estimate closing date: April 30, 2002. Estimated award date: May 20, 2002. Parties interested in subcontracting opportunities need to contact Mr. Jaime Richardson, SEI's Contract Manager at (828) 277-1979 x222 or richardson@sei.simula.com . See Notes 22 and 26.
