The Government reserves the right to consider the acquisition for the 8(a) program based upon responses received to this sources sought announcement. The proposed contract is anticipated to be a firm-fixed price contract with a base period and four, one-year option periods. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), and the size standard for small business is 750 Employees. The Statement of Need for this requirement is as follows: The Air Force Safety Center's Mishap Analysis & Animation Facility (MAAF) maintains an extensive array of specialized hardware and software to download aircraft flight data recorders (FDR) and cockpit voice recorders (CVR) that have been involved in a mishap. As part of a modernization and capability-enhancement effort, the Air Force proposes to procure download hardware and software for a number of FDRs and CVRs manufactured by GE Aviation. Specific recorders for which this modernized and/or enhanced equipment will be pursued are: - Standard Flight Data Recorder (SFDR) for F-15, T-1A, C-17 and CV-22 aircraft - Crash-Survivable Flight Data Recorder (CSFDR) for F-16 aircraft - Integrated Data Acquisition Recorder (IDAR) for T-6A aircraft - Integrated Data Acquisition Recorder (IDAR) for KC-135, UH-1N and B-1B aircraft - Data Acquisition System (DAS) for C-17A and F-16 aircraft - Enhanced Airborne Flight Recorder (EAFR) For each of these systems, solution will allow MAAF personnel to extract data from both the acquisition unit and the crash-protected memory without opening or disassembling the unit when the recorder is undamaged. In addition, the solution will allow MAAF personnel to extract data from crash-protected memory following a crash down to at least the circuit board level. The contractor will be expected to provide all necessary hardware, software, training and documentation required to accomplish the data download, as well as representative recorder hardware to allow MAAF personnel to verify functionality of the download equipment in the future.

The contractor will be expected to procure or provide all data necessary to download or communicate with the recorder. The Air Force also proposes to procure license(s) and annual support/upgrades for GE Aviation's Integrated Ground Software (IGS) to decompress and transcribe data downloaded from an FDR into an engineering units file or, in the case of a CVR, into an audio file.
