Proposals must be in accordance with the format described in FAR subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and no other written solicitation will be issued. This document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through FAC 2001-13 dated 18 March 2003. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 335129 and the DMS Rating is DO-A7 (Electronic and Communication Equipment). The small business size is 500 employees. This acquisition is 100% set aside for small business. Entire payment will be made upon delivery and the contractor must provide a two-year standard commercial warranty. This is a competitive FMS (Foreign Military Sales) procurement for seven (7) portable airfield lighting systems (PALS) and related spares, services, and options. Two Contract Line Items (CLINs) will be set forth in a Firm Fixed Price contract. CLIN one (1) will be for seven PALS, including a two-year supply of spares (without replenishment), and in-country services, and manuals. CLIN two (2) will be an option for up to seven (7) supplemental light kits and associated equipment configured to supplement a PAL. The Government may exercise the option CLIN at any time prior to delivery of the final PALS under CLIN one (1). The offeror should propose delivery dates for all deliverable items, including the option quantities. The objective of this effort is to deliver a flexible, robust, reliable, and easily sustained PALS to support various operational missions under adverse conditions. The PALS must meet the requirements of STANAG 3534, Airfield Portable Lighting. The STANAG document can be obtained by contacting Stanley Mitchell at 781-377-7020. The PALS must be self-contained and operate independent of external power sources or facility resources. Each PALS will service one end of the runway, and must have the following minimum capabilities and features: runway edge lights for 2,500 meter runway distance (STANAG 3534 Layout - Type 2); threshold lights; approach lights; precision approach path indicator (PAPI); trailers/carriages for transportation and storage; be easily transportable by air, sea, and over improved and unimproved roads; maximum of 20 minute set-up and tear-down time with minimum crew size (Layout Type 2 STANAG 3534); full remote control for all modes of operation; and battery recharging stations. Generators provided with the PALS must be diesel engine driven. The system must be compatible for use under day/night/night vision goggle conditions and must be capable of at least 8 hours continuous operations without battery recharging. Each system must be provided with a two-year warranty. The following items and service are also required: operator and maintenance familiarization in Poland; operations and maintenance manuals in English; two-year supply of spares (without replenishment); and specialized test / support equipment. Tow vehicles and cabling for external power sources are not required. Contractor shipment to Poland is not required; Poland Freight Forwarder will accomplish shipment. Supplemental kits (if ordered under Option CLIN 2) must use the same technology as the basic PALS, and include lights to support edge, taxiway, and parking area delineation. Each supplemental kit should include the lights, charging stations, and trailers/carriages for transportation and storage. Each supplemental kit must be provided with a two-year warranty. The items being offered must be mature commercial off the shelf with proven field usage. Offerors must include in their proposal product descriptions for prime equipment, spares, specialized support equipment, and services being proposed, and demonstrate compliance with requirements above. Proposals must include copies of Warranty and Operations and Maintenance Manuals for systems being proposed. Offers must provide evidence of PALS demonstrated reliability and proven field usage, and names and phone numbers of recent customers, and prices to previous customers for equipment and services that are identical or similar to those being proposed herein. (see FAR 52.215-20). These recent customers may be contacted to substantiate performance. The source selection will be based on proposals that provide the best value to the Government, considering the technical requirements identified above, price, and past performance. For evaluation purposes only, the Government will evaluate offeror prices with the assumption that 4 of the 7 optional kits of equipment will be ordered under Option CLIN 2.
