Description

This RFI is being conducted to identify different potential Non-commercial sources in determining if a future contract effort can be competitively awarded and/or awarded on a total or partial Small Business Set-Aside basis. The applicable North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this effort is 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) with the Small Business Size Standard of 1250 employees. The Government has a current requirement to develop a second source of repair for the ESU. Contractor shall furnish all sub-components, material, support equipment, tools, test equipment, and services. The contractor is responsible for providing, maintaining, and calibrating all support equipment required at their facility or a subcontractor�s facility. Contractor furnished material or parts used for replacement shall equal or exceed the quality of the original material or parts. If the Government decides to award a contract for this or related effort, a solicitation will be published and posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website. The Government will use this information solely to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government is interested in all small business concerns. The original equipment manufacturer for this item is Abaco Inc. (0BAS8), which maintains its configuration by part number and software version. The Government does not own any production level technical data in support of this requirement. As a result, Abaco Inc. is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the B-1 FIDL ESU 7025016509308BY performance requirements and possession of the required technical data and capabilities needed to manufacture this item and ensure compatibility of the equipment. Contractors/Institutions responding to this market research are placed on notice that participation in this survey may not ensure participation in future solicitations or contract awards. The government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation in this survey. Interested sources may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirements. Interested sources must maintain facilities and cleared personnel for manufacturing, handling, storing, and maintaining information and operating systems with security classifications up to and including Secret.
