The Naval Air Systems Command PMA-207, the Tactical Airlift, Adversary & Support Aircraft Program Office is pleased to invite comments and questions from industry following a review of the enclosed AOU Draft Statement of Work (SOW)/Performance Work Statement and the AOU Draft System Sub-System Specification (SSS), upon request. To request transmittal of the AOU Draft System Sub-System Specification (SSS) please contact Teri L Berrian at teri.berrian@navy.mil with the following information: Company name, mailing address, phone number, and email address (if available), current CAGE number, DoD Central Contractor Registration (CCR) number and acknowledgement of the contractor's responsibility under the U.S. export control laws and regulations. Potential offerors must meet the requirements of the DD 254, Contract Security Classification Specification. Potential offerors shall acknowledge that no dissemination of any export-controlled technical data subject to this requirement will occur in a manner that would violate applicable export control laws and regulations (DD Form 2345). Upon review of your written request, verification of your status and acknowledgement of the contractor's responsibility under the US Export laws and regulations, the Draft System Sub-System Specification will be provided. As discussed during the industry day held on 9 November 11, the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is defining its competitive acquisition strategy to procure an avionics and software integration solution to satisfy a requirement to upgrade 20 US Navy C-130T aircraft under the Avionics Obsolescence Upgrade (AOU) Program. The anticipated contract requirement is that an avionics and software integrator chosen from industry will provide hardware and software solutions to increase flight crew situational awareness, productivity and safety through the modernization of the C-130T's communication suite, flight management system, cockpit displays, navigation computers, autopilot and automatic flight control system with an integrated, open system architecture solution capable of future system and software growth. The avionics and software integrator will provide communication suite, flight management system, cockpit displays and navigation system solutions that retain specified legacy avionics communications and navigation systems. In addition, the government will specify and furnish a "B-Kit" of systems which will include, but not be limited to, the following replacement systems; color weather radar, Ultra High Frequency/Very High Frequency and High Frequency (UHF/VHF/HF) radios, Embedded Global Positioning System (GPS) Inertials, Protected Instrument Landing System (P-ILS), and Standby Instruments to be incorporated into the contractor's avionics and software integration solution. The avionics and software integration solution will reuse necessary existing aircraft systems where specified, reduce total life cycle costs and specific item obsolescence through the leveraging of existing cockpit modernization programs, fielded solutions and proven technology. Production installations of the avionics and software integration solution are not part of this requirement. Request written responses in the form of questions or comments be submitted no later than 2:00 p.m. on 22 Mar 11to Teri L Berrian at teri.berrian@navy.mil or mailed to DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY, NAVAL AIR SYSTEMS COMMAND, CONTRACTS DEPARTMENT (AIR 2.3.5.2), ATTN: Teri L.
