- Description
- Technical Point of Contract: Russell Dyreng, (801)586-7287, email russell.dyreng@hill.af.mil This is only a Request for Information (RFI), not a Request for Proposal (RFP) and is not considered a commitment by the Government. All information received will be for planning purposes only. The Secondary Power Commodity Council (SPCC) does not intend to award a contract on the basis of your response nor otherwise pay for the preparations of any information presented or the use of any such information. The RFI responses will be used to determine if a comparable source is available and more advantageous to the government. All proprietary information should be marked as such. This effort is to improve material availability, delivery, quality, cost savings and increase reliability of secondary power systems through Performance Based Logistics (PBL). This PBL effort incorporates the Power by the Flight Hour concept, whereby the contractor is paid fixed rate per flying hour. This PBL effort is applicable to, but not limited to, the secondary power systems for the following aircraft A-10, B-1, B-2, C-5/E-3, F-15, C-130, C-141, and ground carts. A central tenant of PBL is a contractor who is responsible for all performance outcomes. The contractor must have the necessary design, manufacturing, production, and process data capable to provide the performance outcomes, predetermined levels of availability (i.e. delivery within 2-4 days CONUS, 5 days OCONUS, etc.), reliability increases from technology insertion, engineering for design changes, and technical data revisions for the Honeywell International Incorporated (HII) secondary power systems. This may require a potential offeror, on occasion, to supply newly manufactured major components, i.e. APUs, secondary power systems, and accessories to meet support requirements. The essence of this PBL effort is buying performance outcomes, not the individual parts and repair actions. Instead of buying set levels of spares, repairs, tools, and data, the new focus is on buying predetermined level of availability and increased performance of the HII secondary power systems to meet the warfighter?s objectives. The success of this PBL Power by the Flight Hour concept is based on the contractor?s efforts such as (to name a few), in building a better system, modifying an existing system, improving the logistic support organization, spares optimization, etc. SPCC Market research shows this effort is sole source to the original equipment manufacturer. This PBL must comply with 10 U.S.C. 2474 Centers of Industrial and Technical Excellence (CITE), which authorizes and encourages the head of the CITE to enter into a public-private partnership. A public-private partnership will be established with the contractor and current organic depot, OO-ALC which is located at Hill AFB, Ogden, Utah. All touch-labor is anticipated to be performed by the OO-ALC Depot with the support described above provided by the contractor. It is anticipated that the contractor will be responsible for maintaining and controlling the current inventory of APUs, secondary power systems, accessories, modules, line replaceable units, spares and repair parts. Historically, labor has been accomplished on repair bridge contracts and by OO-ALC Depot when the workload transferred from SA-ALC to OO-ALC. 10 U.S.C. 2466, stipulates DoD must maintain a core logistics capability that is Government-owned and Government-operated. Therefore the workload previously performed under repair bridge-contracts will be performed by the OO-ALC Depot. Responses to this announcement shall include the following: 1) Detailed descriptions of capability and experience in PBL Power by the Flight Hour for APUs, secondary power systems, and accessories for all aircraft listed above; 2) Current or previous contracts on PBL Power by the Flight Hour for APUs, secondary power systems, and accessories or similar; 3) Impediments or unique issues that would apply to support at the end item level; and 4) Business size and percentage goals for small businesses. Please do not send brochures or other marketing information. Responses must be electronically submitted in accordance with this synopsis and shall be limited to 10 pages. Capable sources are requested to submit electronic technical capability statements and relevant information by 10 June 2005 to: Justen Bonham, OO-ALC/OBS SPCC, phone (801) 586-7286, Justen.bonham@hill.af.mil.
