- Statement of Work for Course Notice of Contract Action for a Sole Source Procurement SUBJECT: NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT FOR a Advanced Flight Tests Course. The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), Operations Group (OG), Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB), CA intends to award a Sole Source purchase order to University of Kansas, 1515 Saint Andrews Drive, Lawrence, KS 66047-1619. CLASSIFICATION CODE: U - Education & Training Services FSC CODE: U001 - Lectures for Training NAICS: 611512 - Flight Training SUBJECT: Advanced Flight Tests Course REFERENCE NO. F1S0AK0141BT02 The Sole Source purchase is described below: REQUIREMENT: The Advanced Flight Tests" course is being requested to provide Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) engineers with the training needed to plan and execute high risk flight test. The training topics covered must address test approaches; air data instrumentation approaches; selection of appropriate instrumentation, calibration techniques, MIL-STD 1553 data recording/processing methods; wiring shielding, EMC/EMI importance and requirements in accordance with MIL-STD 461, MIL-STD 462, and MIL-STD 285. All training must meet the ground and flight test intent of AFI 99-103, Capabilities Based Test and Evaluation. Additionally, this course must address the risks associated with hazardous testing, identification and mitigation of those risks, backup or contingency planning, and how to handle the associated residual risk such-that safe efficient execution of the test is possible, in accordance with the intent of MIL-STD 882C and MIL-STD 882D system safety guidance. This type of training is highly specialized and finding vendors that offer this type of training is extremely difficult. The KU proprietary course meets all of the requirements identified for this training need and in addition will be taught by KU onsite at EAFB. Holding this course onsite at EAFB for a class size of 20 students provides a significant savings to the Air Force compared to the cost of sending 20 students individually to Kansas University to take the course. Delivery time of Course is: 30 August 2010 to 2 September 2010, 33 Hours, 7:30am to 4:30pm with a 45 minute Lunchbreak. Please note that this is not a request for competitive proposals. Per FAR 5.207(c)(15)(ii), all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Responses may be sent via e-mail to terence.vickers@edwards.af.mil, or mailed to AFFTC/PKEB, 5 South Wolfe Ave, Edwards AFB, CA 93524-1185, Attention: Terence D. Vickers. Phone: (661) 277-9659 or Fax Number: (661) 275-7860. Information received as a result of this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by the Air Force not to open the requirement to open competition, based on response to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Air Force. If the office has not received any affirmative written responses by 4pm PST, 25 August 2010, a Sole Source purchase order will be pursued with University of Kansas, 1515 Saint Andrews Drive, Lawrence, KS 66047.
