Anticipated Contract Period of Performance:Basic Contract Period of 24 months and Eight 12-month Option Periods All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. Description of Anticipated Requirement: The Air Force intends to acquire Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for the Halvorsen 25K Aircraft Cargo Loader weapon system under a FAR Part 15 contract. The Contractor will provide a broad range of support for a fleet of 443 deployed Halvorsen loaders. The Contractor will provide and integrate this support in five output-oriented areas. Each of these areas is described below and will be supplemented by the Prime Item Development Specification. The five areas are as follows: (1) PIPELINE/MATERIAL MANAGEMENT- Demand forecasting and purchasing of parts and material- Manufacturing and/or repair of parts- Warehousing- Packaging- Transportation (2) REVERSE ENGINEERING- Develop and deliver an ASME Y14.100 based technical data package (TDP) (aka reprocurement data) sufficient for lifecycle support of the Halvorsen; NOTE: Technical data package will be limited to maintenance support (i.e., parts replacement, overhaul, and unscheduled depot level maintenance) since there are no plans for reprocurement of total system. (3) LIFECYCLE ENGINEERING- Configuration Management/Change Management- Technology Insertion- Logistics Engineering- Design Responsibility- Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS)- Systems Engineering to include Operational Safety, Suitability, and Effectiveness (OSS&E)- Technical Order Management- Reduction of Total Ownership Costs (RTOC)- Lifecycle Data Management- Performance Data Analysis- Modification Development (4) UNSCHEDULED DEPOT LEVEL MAINTENANCE- Depot Level Repair (on and off-site)- Modifications (5) LOADER OVERHAUL- Total Refurbishment of the Loader- Reliability-Centered Maintenance - Modifications Loader Description:The Halvorsen is a self-propelled 25,000 pound capacity aircraft cargo transporter loader. The Halvorsen weighs 32,000 pounds; is approximately 14 feet 2inches wide by 29 feet 7' inches long; and is approximately 23 feet tall when fully extended. It transfers loads to and from warehouses, and to and from cargo aircraft on the flightline. The Halvorsen interfaces with docks in warehouses and all Air Force cargo aircraft, including many commercial Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) aircraft. The Halvorsen's powered conveyor system moves loads on unit load devices (ULDs): pallets, platforms, and containers. The roller system on the deck converts to a flat deck for rolling stock loads. The deck lowers to 39 inches and raises to 18 feet 4 inches, and rolls, side-shifts, and pitches. The Halvorsen is air transportable on the C-130, C-5, and C-17 aircraft. The Halvorsen was designed for a service life of 30 years with a maximum of 2 overhauls. The Halvorsen has a six cylinder Detroit Diesel D706LTE engine, an Allison 4 speed automatic transmission, and front wheel drive. The Halvorsen has a maximum speed of 17 mph, and a turning radius of 25 feet. Operational Capabilities:The Halvorsen is used to Load/Unload Military and CRAF Fleets. It handles up to 3 standard pallets 88x108 with a total capacity of up to 25,000 lbs. It is Multi Cargo Capable including rolling stock. The Halvorsen has a Deck Reach up to 225 inches (18 feet 94 inches) for wide body aircraft and 39 inches for C-130 aircraft. All deck controls are contained in the operators cab. The Halvorsen can operate in temperatures ranges from -40 degrees F to +125 degrees F. It can be reconfigured for transport in less than ½ hour with no tools required and has a shipping weight of 31,400 lbs. Thus, the Halvorsen can be air transported on C-130, C-17 and C-5 aircraft. General Specifications:The Halvorsen uses a Six Cylinder Detroit Diesel D706LTE engine with an Allison 4 speed automatic transmission. The Halvorsen is front wheel drive with a max speed of 17 MPH and a turning radius of 25 feet. The deck is capable of pitch, roll and side shift. The deck is a welded aluminum design with folding walkways and handrails. It has 9 powered conveyor modules, chain and strap storage and tine trough covers. Depot Repairable Items:Some of the depot repairable items are the front axle, front and rear side shift cylinders, transmission, engine and the hydraulic pump. Program Description:The Air Force does not own the technical data for the Halvorsen loader, therefore, the Contractor will be required tough reverse engineering to develop and deliver a technical data package to the Air Force. The Contractor will use and maintain the TDP as part of the lifecycle management of the Halvorsen weapon system. OEM/Vendor exclusivity agreements, patents, foreign content, and licenses may exist; however, the level and extent are unknown. Operator and field maintenance manuals are available subject to limited data rights. Technical support shall be provided 24 hours a day and 7 days a week to the field by telephone. Technical support shall include providing repair instructions to the field when a particular repair is not covered by the TO, providing explanations of the TOs to the field when needed, etc. Potential SRB projects can be generated and input by anyone tough e-mail, AF deficiency reports (DR), system review board (SRB), and phone. The SRB is a joint Air Force and contractor multi-disciplined board for the purpose of directing technical activities. The Contractor will be responsible for all material pipeline/material management to support approximately 165 worldwide locations. Management of returned parts for repair or analysis will be required. Reparable "part cores" may be returned to the Contractor for repair. The Contractor will be expected to manage and forecast inventory levels continually. The Contractor will receive all available Air Force historical parts demand and maintenance data collected to date. The Air Force will provide to the Contractor some inventory of consumable, reparable, and investment parts remaining from previous CLS contract at the outset of the new CLS contract. The Contractor will provide lifecycle engineering support using the principles of systems engineering. The Contractor will be responsible for assuring Operational Safety, Suitability, and Effectiveness (OSS&E), product life cycle management (PLM), product data management, technical order management and cost control. OSS&E baselines have been established and the Contractor will be required to assure no degradation toughout the life of the system. Suitability is the ability of the Halvorsen to operate within the Air Force system. Effectiveness is the ability of the Halvorsen to perform as intended. This means that any changes required as a result of obsolescence, vanishing vendors, cost reduction, correction of deficiencies, etc. must not degrade the safety, suitability or effectiveness of the system. Configuration control is necessary for status accounting of the parts installed on each loader, and any special repairs or modifications must be documented. Configuration status accounting of each loader is required for future reliability analysis, correction of deficiencies, and overhaul of the loader. Lifecycle engineering will provide corrective actions and implementation to resolve deficiencies, and the issuance of Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTOs) or service bulletins when required. The Contractor will be responsible for verification of form, fit, function, and interface of corrective actions. The Contractor will be the management agency for Halvorsen TOs. Lifecycle engineering will include maintenance of the engineering documentation such as engineering drawings, TOs, structural analyses, and safety assessment reports. Accident repair will be field repair when possible, and repair at a contractor depot facility when required. Vehicle overhaul could include modifications, reliability-centered maintenance, and repair of structural abnormalities. Manufacturing personnel will be required to fulfill, on an annual basis, the requirements of process certifications in welding (e.g., AWS), corrosion control, hydraulics, riveting, and inspection. Where there are no organizational or societal procedures, the Contractor will be required to develop procedures. The Air Force will provide the Contractor with two loaders in preparation for depot overhaul qualification. The Contractor will tear down and rebuild two (2) Halvorsen loaders and develop a Halvorsen Overhaul Instructions Manual for manufacturing to qualify and accomplish future overhauls. The Contractor will be expected to conduct depot overhaul on up to 50 loaders each year. The Contractor will address structural abnormalities and non-standard repairs as they are discovered.
