As part of the internal review process for RFP+s, it has become evident that it is in the best interest of both the Government and the offerors to change the pricing structure of the contract to 5 years FFP and 5 years FP/EPA. The current constraints on NTE options would negatively impact both the flexibility of the contract and the level of confidence in the out years. If you have any questions or comments, please contact the contractual POC listed below. Contractual POC: Jim Van Oss, Contract Negotiator, james.vanoss@wpafb.af.mil, 937-904-4192, ASC/YTA, Bldg 11A, Room 201-I, 1970 Monahan Way, WPAFB, OH 45433- 7211. //End of Update// UPDATE (10-14-2004) AC vs. DC Seat Actuator on T-38 ESUP The purpose of this announcement is to provide information regarding a question about seat actuators from the recent Industry Day. Because this information could have a significant impact on potential solutions, it is being released prior to the posting of the other questions and answers. Changing from Alternating Current to Direct Current Seat Actuators for the T- 38C ESUP This question was forwarded to OO-ALC/LCEA for their review and comment. They recommend we do not use DC actuators if at all possible. The DC load is taxed with the AUP upgrade and other changes are pending to add further loads to the DC buss. The change to DC would also require an aircraft rewire to add a circuit breaker and cabling. It would be less of an impact to use AC actuators and a much simpler modification to the aircraft. The present AC system has 5 amp circuit breakers. If at one half the capacity of the 5 amp breaker (2.5 amps,) 2.5 X 115 volts=287.5 VA. With DC of 28 volts equals 10 amps current draw. Conservatively, this is approximately one fifth the battery capacity. Operation of both seats at the same time would further impact the battery drain. The battery is rated for 15 minutes of aircraft operation in an emergency situation. Taxing of the battery capability in anyway is not desirable. If you have any questions, please contact the contractual POC below. Contractual POC: Jim Van Oss, Contract Negotiator, james.vanoss@wpafb.af.mil, 937-904-4192, ASC/YTA, Bldg 11A, Room 201-I, 1970 Monahan Way, WPAFB, OH 45433- 7211. //END OF UPDATE// UPDATE (10-05-04) REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REGARDING PRODUCTION/DELIVERY All offerors planning to respond to the upcoming T-38C ESUP RFP are asked to reply to the following questions: 1) Assuming the Government exercises a production option concurrent with contract award, how long will it take before production will begin, regardless of testing? 2) Given the same assumption, when will your company be able to begin delivering production seats/shipsets for installation and what will be the initial delivery rate, i.e., shipsets per month or seats per month 3) In addition and given the same assumption as above, how long will it take before your company can deliver seats at a rate of five (5) shipsets or ten (10) seats per month? Please respond to these questions at your earliest convenience but NLT 3:00 pm EST on 8 Oct 2004. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the contractual POC listed below. Contractual POC: Jim Van Oss, Contract Negotiator, james.vanoss@wpafb.af.mil, 937-904-4192, ASC/YTA, Bldg 11A, Room 201-I, 1970 Monahan Way, WPAFB, OH 45433- 7211. //End of Update// UPDATE (9-30-04) PROSPECTIVE OFFEROR VISITS TO RANDOLPH AFB AND MOODY AFB In a recent Industry Day, it was requested the Government provide access to the Egress Procedures Trainers (EPTs), Aircrew Training Devices (ATDs), survival kit equipment, and a T-38C aircraft with the aft cockpit instrument hood in place. The above items can be made available upon written request and demonstrated interest in this program.
