- Description
- Capabilities Request for Information (CRFI) for the UH-1N Replacement Program - 8/28/15 UH-1N Replacement Capability Request For Information (CRFI) INTRODUCTION The United States Air Force (USAF) is planning to replace the current USAF UH-1N fleet with an in-production, non-developmental, Government Off-The-Shelf or Commercial Off-The-Shelf (GOTS/COTS) solution. It is anticipated that the 62 USAF UH-1Ns will be replaced with up to 72 aircraft. To assist in this effort, the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), ISR & SOF Directorate, Combat Rescue Helicopter Division (AFLCMC/WIH), Wright-Patterson AFB, OH is issuing this Capability Request for Information (CRFI) to obtain market insight into potential solutions and sources capable of providing aircraft that meet requirements. Respondents must describe their solution's compatibility and comparability to the given requirements (listed in the UH-1N Replacement Discussion Questions section below). If a respondent has more than one solution to discuss, a separate response for each is requested. This is NOT an Invitation for Bid (IFB) or a Request for Proposal (RFP). The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this CRFI. This CRFI is part of ongoing Government conducted market research for planning purposes. It is NOT a solicitation. The Government will not provide reimbursement for costs associated with this request. Responses will be treated as information only and will not be used as a proposal. The submitted documentation, upon delivery, becomes the property of the US Government and will not be returned. Such information will be reviewed by a team comprised of Government as well as contractor personnel hired to provide technical assistance for the Government's preparation of an acquisition strategy. All members of the team will be reminded of their obligation to protect such information to the maximum extent permitted or required by the Economic Espionage Act, 18 U.S.C. 1831 et seq., and other applicable statutes or regulations. In addition, Government members will be reminded of their obligations to afford protection under the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. 1905. All contractor members are required to protect the information by the terms of their contracts. The Government will determine whether its contractor team members have any organizational conflicts of interest that could adversely affect protection of the information. The Government may conduct follow-on discussions with responders about the CRFI responses through individual meetings. Additional RFIs and/or Industry Days may be utilized as the program continues preparation of an acquisition strategy. The Government plans to utilize contractor personnel from the following companies. Please notify the Government if your company believes there may be an organizational conflict of interest: HX5, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Alion Science & Technology Purpose Collaborate with industry early in the effort to gather information to replace UH-1N Aircraft. This CRFI will help the USAF identify sources that can provide an Off-The-Shelf (OTS), production-ready capability that meets requirements - assuming a contract award in FY17 - and identify potential risks in meeting the requirements. The market research seeks to identify industry capability to field helicopters as soon as possible after contract award. RESPONSE GUIDANCE Information received as a result of this request will be considered sensitive and will be protected. Any company proprietary information contained in the response should be clearly marked as such, by paragraph, such that 'publicly-releasable' and 'proprietary' information are clearly distinguished. Any proprietary information received in response to this request will be properly protected from any unauthorized disclosure. The Government will not use proprietary information submitted from any one responder to establish the capability and requirements for any future systems acquisition, so as to not inadvertently restrict competition. CRFI responses should include: 1. A cover page containing identification of the company Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code, street address, and business size for NAICS codes 336411 (aircraft manufacturing), and the names and telephone numbers of the technical Point of Contact (POC) and the overall company POC (in the case of a partnership, please provide appropriate CAGE codes and POC information for the lead company). 2. One single document that answers all of the below discussion questions. 3. A copy of the Weight and Mission Performance Workbook (MS Excel) - which is attached to this CRFI - with proposed aircraft data filled in to the appropriate blanks. 4. Optional - Another document that covers any other information pertinent to your proposed solution in relation to the UH-1N Replacement program. This document is limited to 10 pages. 5. Responses are requested by 14 October 2015. Responses must be submitted in electronic, text searchable Portable Document Format (.pdf) on CD or DVD to the following contact: Robert Allen, AFLCMC/WIHK 1895 5 th St., Area B, Bldg. 46 WPAFB, OH 45433-7200 Any questions regarding the CRFI can also be directed to Robert Allen at robert.allen.58@us.af.mil or 937-656-8260.
