- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared IAW the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This is a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-09 and DFARs Change Notice (DCN) 20060519. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is 3728, FSC Code is 1680 and the size standard is 1,000 employees. NAICS is 336413. This acquisition is for Brand Name or Equal items only and is not a small business set-aside. This Brand Name or Equal purchase will be for a total of the following upgrade items for three cockpit displays for the F-35 aircraft. Brand Name or Equal Justification Information: 1. The Electronic Warfare (EW) Directorate requests the Brand Name or Equal Purchase of Driven Technologies, Inc. F-35 Panoramic Cockpit Display (PCD). 2. The Driven Technologies F-35 PCDs will be direct replacements for the existing PCDs currently in use in the F-35 Manned Flight Simulators. The new Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) PCDs represent significant advances in performance over the older projection type currently in use. The salient functional characteristics that are essential to the Electronic Warfare Directorate are: Must meet current Joint Strike Fighter Program Office (JPO) and Lockheed Martin (LM) requirements in support of the current A.4 Program Introduction Document. The units are currently in use at PAX River and the LM Ft. Worth Verification Simulator (VSIM) labs. Units are designed to accommodate the LM specified glare shield and front instrumentation panel. Units support symbology gain and brightness control 3. Currently the Driven Technologies LCD display is the only known brand of this type of technology currently being used by LM. Since LM is driving the requirements for the government support facilities it is currently the only known brand that can meet the Electronic Warfare Directorates requirement. 4. Since LM drives the system requirements for the government support facilities and we are obligated by the A.4 PID to replicate the VSIM labs as much as possible there is very little we can do in preventing brand name situations in the future. Interested parties who believe they can meet all the requirements described in this synopsis are invited to submit in writing complete information describing their ability to provide the required equipment. FOB Destination is the Government preferred method of shipping. Please submit FOB Destination shipping information with all submittals to the office. Offerors are required to submit with their quote enough information for the Government to evaluate the minimum requirements detailed in this synopsis. 52.232-33 Mandatory information for electronic funds transfer payment. Before we can begin the contracting process with your company, I need the following Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) completed-- http://orca.bpn.gov/. FOR MPIN REGISTRATION: http://www.ccr.gov/mpin.asp. Use of online representations & certifications application (ORCA) became mandatory 1 January 2005. ORCA is a web-based system that centralizes, standardizes, and moves the collection and storing of FAR level representations and certifications online. Representations and certifications are to be completed at least annually by vendors on-line through the ORCA portion of the Business Partner Network (BPN). Contractors, presently registered in Central Contractor Registration (CCR), can get a head start by going to www.bpn.gov/orca/ to activate their ORCA profiles. Initially, ORCA will retain the most significant contractor representations and certifications that would apply to any acquisition in the form of 26 questions. Solicitation-specific representations and certifications may still be used outside of ORCA. Further information on this initiative may be obtained from the ORCA help menu, http://orca.bpn.gov/help.aspx. This help menu includes ORCA background information, frequently asked questions (FAQ), and the ORCA Handbook. Provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial, applies to this acquisition.
