- Description
- THIS IS A FORMAL PRESOLICITIATION NOTICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR 5.204. The 77th Aeronautical Systems Group, 77 AESG/PSK, Brooks City-Base, Texas, in support of the 648th Aeronautical Systems Squadron (AESS), intends to solicit and award up to two Fixed Price Incentive (FPI) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts for System Development & Demonstration (SDD) of a Modular Aircrew Common Helmet (MACH). Each contract will have a five year period of performance if all Options are exercised. The objective of the MACH program is to develop, manufacture, test, field, and sustain a replacement for all currently fielded fixed winged and rotary winged aircraft flight helmets. This is intended to reduce the number of helmet configurations in the Department of Defense (DoD) inventory, reduce the logistical footprint, provide an effective platform for helmet mounted devices and increase aircrew safety. Apart from the basic SDD effort, SDD Options for agency-specific modules will be included in each contract. An Initial Operational Test & Evaluation (IOT&E) Option, Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Option, Re-Procurement Package Option, and various Full Rate Production (FRP) Options will also be included in each contract. In the event of a multiple award, the above Options will be exercised with a single SDD contractor after a downselect process. Best Estimated Quantities (BEQs) are provided for the following: IOT&E Articles (180 ea), LRIP Units (260 ea), FRP MACH Units (24,000 ea), FRP AH-64 Module Interfaces (500 ea), FRP JHMCS Module Interfaces (600 ea) and FRP Maxillofacial Shields (4,000 ea). Requirements will be provided in a Government Performance Specification, Statement of Objectives (SOO), Contractor Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs), and final solicitation. The application of Full Tradeoff source selection procedures will be utilized pursuant to AFFARS 5315.3 in the best value determination. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be released on or about 02 August 2007. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541710 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. This size standard applies for the establishment of eligibility as a small business. Foreign participation is not prohibited at the prime contractor level, as there will be an opportunity for offerors to address Berry Amendment concerns in their proposals. All responsible sources may submit an offer, which will be considered. NOTE: ALL OFFERORS MUST BE REGISTERED IN THE CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRY (CCR) PRIOR TO RECEIVING ANY AWARD. IN ADDITION, OFFERORS MUST ESTABLISH AN ACCOUNT IN THE FEDTEDS SYSTEM, WHERE THE PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE UPON RELEASE OF THE SOLICITATION.
