- Description
- This is a notice of the intent that AFMC AFLCMC/WNKCB in conjunction with the Commando II RFCM Program Management Office (AFLCMC/WNY and AFLCMC/WIS), USSOCOM (United States Special Operations Command) and the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) anticipates issuing a request for proposal for a research and development effort to improve the AC-130J and MC-130J aircraft system survivability. This request for proposal will be posted on the Federal Business Opportunities (fedbizopps.com) website. The approximate Request for Proposal (RFP) issue date is 15 Oct 2015 with an approximate response date of 14 November 2014. Description of the procedures to be used in awarding the contract: The basis of award will be a competitive Best Value/Tradeoff Source Selection. The Government will issue an unrestricted RFP to down-select two (2) or fewer offerors utilizing Tradeoff Source Selection Procedures. The successful offeror(s) will be awarded a C type contract. The basic effort is for system design that includes a System Requirements Review (SRR) and Preliminary Design Review (PDR). The system design will culminate with a Critical Design Review (CDR). The Government will conduct a simulation-based laboratory demonstration between the offerors and select a single contractor to continue with the Integration and Testing. The Government will reserve the right to exercise the options for production until a later time. Initial Source Selection: For the initial source selection request for proposal will require oral and written parts. For those offerors whose proposals are determined to have an acceptable RFCM System Specification (SS) and Small Business Concern Utilization, tradeoffs will be made between Engineering Factor (which includes the Technical Rating and the Technical Risk Rating) and Cost/Price. All evaluation factors other than Cost/Price, when combined, are significantly more important than Cost/Price. In using the best value approach, the Government seeks to award to the offeror/offerors who give the Air Force the greatest confidence that it will best meet or exceed our requirements affordably in a way that will be advantageous to the Government. Final Downselect: The Technical Rating and the Technical Risk Rating for each of the Subfactors, is significantly more important than Cost/Price. Anticipated Award Date : Sept 2015 Anticipated Exercise of Contract Option to a single contractor: Sept 2016 Description of Acquisition : This acquisition requires engineering and manufacturing development to include a System Design, Integration and Test; systems integration laboratory (SIL), Production to include Low Rate Initial Production and Full Rate Production; Sustainment to include Interim Contractor Support and Depot Activation. All of the requirements are defined in the "System Requirements Document (SRD) for AC/MC-130J RFCM" and the RFCM statement that will be in the solicitation. The total estimated period of performance is 7 years and 7 months. There will be a basic and 8 options.
