- Description
- Posted as Cross reference to: AFTC2017SBID, NAICS 541712. Only 541712 posting will be updated. The Air Force Test Center (AFTC) is pleased to announce a Small Business Industry Day (SBID) event to be held 7-9 November 2017 in Las Vegas, NV. Specific venue and sign-up/reservation information will be posted at a later date. All small businesses are welcome to attend. Small businesses that respond to this notice may be invited to brief in general sessions during the SBID. The AFTC plays a critical role in developmental test and evaluation (T&E) for AFMC's air and ground systems and is an essential cornerstone to the command's consolidation from 12 centers to six. Headquartered at Edwards AFB, CA, AFTC leads the Air Force's T&E mission, conducting developmental T&E of air, space, and cyber systems to provide timely, objective, and accurate information to decision makers. The AFTC is comprised of the following organizations: 412th TW, Edwards AFB, CA, Arnold Engineering and Development Complex, Arnold AFB, TN, and the 96th TW, Eglin AFB, FL. The 412th TW plans, conducts, analyzes, and reports on all flight and ground testing of aircraft, weapons systems, software and components as well as modeling and simulation for the Air Force. There are three core components for this mission: flying operations, maintenance, and engineering. The 412th TW also operates the Air Force Test Pilot School. Arnold Engineering and Development Complex scientists and engineers perform ground tests, engineering analysis, and technical evaluations for all the U.S. armed forces, other government agencies and commercial aerospace industry on aircraft, missiles and space systems at the conditions they will experience during a mission for research, system development, and operational programs. The 96th TW plans, directs and documents T&E efforts for Air Force air-delivered weapons, navigation and guidance systems, Command and Control systems, and Air Force Special Operations Command systems. The wing provides expert evaluation and validation of the performance of systems throughout the design, development, acquisition, and sustainment process to ensure the warfighter has technologically superior, reliable, maintainable, sustainable, and safe systems. The AFTC SBID event will provide a targeted forum for interested SBs to 1) allow SBs to brief senior government representatives privately on their specific capabilities and 2) hear about potential prime contractor business opportunities within the AFTC. SBs are advised that this SBID opportunity is targeted to the AFTC Broad Areas of Interest and the associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes identified in this announcement. Briefing time limits may be required in order to accommodate all topics of interest during the event. Companies will be notified in advance of their invitation to brief, the exact location of the event, briefing time, and/or attendance limitations. To be considered for this unique opportunity to brief, a SB must provide a white paper(s) (not to exceed 5 pages) describing their capabilities directly related to the Broad Areas of Interest/NAICs codes in this announcement. SBs may submit multiple papers but only one paper per Broad Area of Interest. Selected SBs will be expected to brief during a general session their company's core capabilities during the SBID. Papers for purely commercial like services (including information technology, security, advisory and assistance services, & other management services) will not be considered for this targeted event. White papers are due no later than 24 May 2017 (30 days from the date of this posting to FBO). Submit questions about the Broad Areas of Interest white papers and the event to the points of contact listed below. Questions received may be answered via amendment(s) to this announcement if deemed relevant to all parties unless a specific request for privacy is included. Send white paper submissions & technical questions to Douglas Hoffelt at douglas.hoffelt.1@us.af.mil Send event venue questions to: Ms. Camille M. Piazza at afsbid@brtrc.com NAICS codes listed are not exclusive but were evaluated as a best fit. AFTC Broad Areas of Interest (- topic below) may fall under multiple NAICS codes to include NAICS 541712, Research & Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology). This posting will appear under multiple NAICS codes and cross referenced to 541712 to reach a wide audience. Updates/amendments will only be made under 541712 Air Force Test Center (AFTC) Broad Areas of Interest Flight Test T&E 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services - Spectrum Compression (This is an RF issue) - Cyber Vulnerability - Autonomous Systems Testing (T&E of integrated autonomous systems-of- systems) - RF Simulation 334511, Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing - Micro transmitters and antennas - Secure, common and networked instrumentations - Measure, diagnose and record high speed and/or autonomous systems 334220, Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing GPS (global positioning system) equipment manufacturing - RF Simulation - Spectrum Compression Armament/Weapons T&E 334511, Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument - Ability to Test Weapons' Target Acquisition/ID/Track - Weapon Scoring/Blast Analysis (Instrumentation to track small, high speed fragments) - Instrumentation in GPS Denied Environment 336411, Aircraft Manufacturing - Target drones, aircraft, manufacturing and/or 336413, Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing - Targets, trailer type, aircraft, manufacturing - Tow targets, aircraft, manufacturing - Realistic Targets (Ground, Sea, and Air targets both fixed and moving) 332993, Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing and/or 336414, Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing - Weapon Test Safety/Efficiency 334515, Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals, 334220, Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing GPS (global positioning system) equipment manufacturing - Instrumentation in GPS Denied Environment Aerospace Ground T&E 336414, Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing, 334511, Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing - Space Testing Environments 334513, Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables - Flow Diagnostics/Test Measurements 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services - Physics Based Modeling 541380, Testing Laboratories - Test environments simulations for emerging technologies (i.e. hypersonic/DE weapons, A2AD environments)
