1. Flight data

2. Engine monitoring data and trending

3. Exceedance data

4. Vibration & vehicle health (condition indicator data)

a. Raw and/or vector vibration data

b. “Condition Indicator” (CI) and/or “Health Indicator” data

1. Determination of critical com-ponent, suggested or required, maintenance

Ideally interface with all flight data listed to the MIS for ex-ceedance and tracking information would be ideal, but perhaps un-realistic.

12 Section C-001 Statement of Work, item #2 Scope listed in the ninth bul-let: “Sustainable for long term use”

Location of question basis, re-sponses below

12a On what criteria is compliance to this desired system function determ-ined?

1. Mean Time Between Failures?

2. Mean Time to Overhaul?

3. Mean Time Between Over-haul?

4. HUMS system Design Assur-ance Level (DAL) per RTCA or FAA guidelines?

5. HUMS supplier corporate sta-bility?

1. Integrated Logistics and Sup-port (ILS) network of repair de-pots or overhaul facilities?

Sustainable meaning not obsolete within the near future. MTBF and MTBO should be included in the proposal but there are no minim-um expectations.

An approved FAA system is ideal however, given the platform may not exist therefore the USG would expect documentation equal to that presented the FAA for ap-proval.

13 Per Department of State Source Se-lection criteria, minimum require-ments must be defined for each tech-nical evaluation factor. Based on our analysis, I do not believe minimum requirements are clearly stated for Factors 3, 4, and 5. Please provide

Factor 3, 4, & 5--The maximum capability of the offers hardware capability and software integra-tion on the specified aircraft for both single and twin engine air-craft.

minimum technically acceptable cri-teria for the above listed factor.

14 The attached forms only provide for one past performance contract? Is it possible and/or advisable to provide multiple relevant past performances?

The offer is requested to provide up to three past performance questions, with Customer submis-sion direct to:

Renee Alexander Management Analyst AlexanderRK@state.gov Michele Coccovizo Management Analyst CoccovizzoML@state.gov Secondary Point of Contact:

Jamie A. Goewey Contracting Officer GoeweyJA@state.gov

15 The solicitation states that the pro-posed system must have the "ability to provide diagnostic interface to mission software known as Manage-ment Information System (MIS) software." Do you have any addi-tional information on the MIS. For instance, is it a specific piece of named software or a generic term for multiple softwares that together cre-ate a management system? RMCI has vast experience integrating with 3rd party software products.

The offer must have integration documentation which allows for the export of the HUMS software data collected from each individu-al aircraft during operations.

Which would allow the data cap-tured by the HUMS to be incor-porated in a U.S. Government

MIS.

16 Do the minimum technical accept-ance requirements of the HUMS sys-tem require monitoring and record-ing the following?

Main Transmission Oil Temperature

(UH-1HII & UH-1HST)

Main Transmission Oil Pressure

(UH-1HII & UH-1HST)

Combining Gear box Oil Temperat-ure (UH-1HST) Combining Gear box Oil Pressure

(UH-1HST)

Main Transmission Oil Chip Detec-tion (UH-1HII & UH-1HST) Combining Gearbox Oil Chip Detec-tion (UH-1HST)

Main Transmission Oil Temperature (UH-1HII & UH-1HST) Plus, but not Required Main Transmission Oil Pressure (UH-1HII & UH-1HST) Plus, but not Required Combining Gear box Oil Temperat-ure (UH-1HST) Plus, but not Re-quired Combining Gear box Oil Pressure (UH-1HST) Plus, but not Required

Main Transmission Oil Chip Detec-tion (UH-1HII & UH-1HST) Plus, but not Required Combining Gearbox Oil Chip Detec-tion (UH-1HST) Plus, but not Re-quired

17 Please clarify the following:

The system proposed may or may not be an existing design and, if not compatible with all desired gineering (NRE) efforts, the ideal implementation plan will address a multiple-phased approach in which various groups of aircraft (identified by country program) will have the selected Health & Use and Monitor-ing System installed.

aircraft platforms already or ini-tially, system design may be staggered as required to accom-modate country specific programs and by aircraft type

Item Question from Vendor Government Answer 18 Discussion: Section 52.212-2, Eval-uation of Commercial Items, Para-graph 1.A on page 11 states, “A single award will be made to that re-sponsible Offeror whose evaluated price totaling all Contract Line Items (CLINS) in Section B of this Solicit-ation is the lowest and whose pro-posal meets or exceeds all technical and past performance evaluation cri-teria (non-cost factors). We are un-sure about which CLINS to use for Section B pricing submission. A ta-ble is provided on page 24-25 (Attachment 1: CLIN Structure for Task Orders); another table on page 67-68; and another table in a separ-ate file called “HUMS CLINS for Momentum.pdf”.

Question: Will the Government please clarify which CLINS table of-ferors should use for pricing pur-poses?

Question: Will the Government please clarify what is meant by “Momentum” in the file name? No reference is made to this term in the solicitation

Section 52.212-2 was amended un-der A-001 to remove the two refer-ences to Section B with Attach-ment 2 CLIN Structure which is what will be evaluated.

The two tables are identical, the separate document to allow the Offer to use it rather than recreat-ing the CLINS in a separate docu-ment

Momentum is the government sys-tem that is used to create the con-tract document. This is a Govern-ment reference only for processing future section B for the order re-leases.

19 Discussion: Section 52.212-2, Eval-uation of Commercial Items, Para-graph 4 on page 12 states, “Under this LPTA solicitation process, the comparative assessment in FAR 15.305(a)(2)(i) does not apply.

Therefore, past performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unac-ceptable" basis.” In Paragraph 4.B on the same page, the solicitation states, “NOTE: In the case of an of-feror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom in-

If no past performance is available from the Offer the will be listed as neutral, not acceptable or unac-ceptable. There are three cat-egories that offer will fall into neutral, acceptable or unaccept-able.

formation on past performance is not available or so sparse that no mean-ingful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

Therefore, the offeror shall be de-termined to have unknown past per-formance and will be rates as “Unknown Confidence (Neutral)”.

Question: Is “Unknown Confidence (Neutral)” considered "Acceptable" for the purposes of this evaluation?

20 Discussion: In the solicitation file titled “HUMS CLINS for Mo-mentum.pdf,” The “Unit” for CLIN X006 is listed as “HR” whereas the Unit for CLIN X003 is “EA”.

Question: Since these CLINS both relate to Kit Hardware, can the Gov-ernment please review and clarify the Unit for these CLINS?

Both X003 and X006 should be EA for each kit. CLIN X0006 was an error. Update is attached.

21 Discussion: In the solicitation file titled “HUMS CLINS for Mo-mentum.pdf,” The “Unit” for CLIN X007 and X008 is is listed as “LT”.

Question: Will the Government please define what “LT” indicates as a unit of pricing, and provide addi-tional clarification or plug numbers for how offerors should price those

CLINS?

CLIN X007 Travel and X008 En-gineering technical support are set up as a lot to allow the offer to provide an estimate based on ex-perience of how much travel will be required and how much engin-eering support. Please break out the number of estimated trips for travel along with the number of people and days. Under the en-gineering support please provide several levels of engineering sup-port to trouble shoot issues in the field or with another contracting installing kits and needing assist-ance with documentation and or equipment

22 Discussion: Page 17 52.232-7 Pay-ments under Time-and-Materials and Labor Hours Contract conflicts to page 13 which states this is a Firm Fixed Price Contract.

Question: Can you please confirm award Type?

Depending on the CLINS awarded CLIN X001-X006 Firm Fixed Price CLIN X007-X008 would be reim-bursable based on the time and material

23 Discussion: Page 37 652.229-70 Paragraph 2…The Contractor shall

CLAUSE 652.229-70 is to excise a tax exemption in the event a kit use a photocopy of this contract as evidence of intent to export.

Question: Will the Government re-quire the contractor export items un-der its own certifications?

would need to be exported.

However, at this time the Govern-ment does not intent to have the contractor export the kits.

24 Discussion: Page 53 States that the offers shall provide documentation from the FAA that clearly states the offer and offer’s personnel will per-form the effort in accordance with FAA part 145 repair station for the modification and prototype effort.

Question: Will the Government consider that the offer will provide teammate to support the modifica-tion and prototype of the aircraft?

i.e. a subcontractor to the Prime.

Yes, will consider subs if appropri-ately qualified.

Evaluation-Commercial Items (Oct 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered as described in detail below, Proposal Evaluation of this soliciation.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced.

Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(End of provision)

Additional Evaluation Information

The offeror's proposal will be evaluated to determine whether it meets the requirements described in the solicitation.

1. Basis of Award:

A. The Government will award this Contract in accordance with FAR 15.101-2, using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Offer (LPTA) process. A single award will be made to that responsible Offeror whose evaluated price totaling all Contract Line Items (CLINS) in attachment 2 CLIN structure of this Solicitation is the lowest and whose proposal meets or exceeds all technical and past performance evaluation criteria (non-cost factors). Offerors are hereby notified that the Government intends to use outside contract-ors to assist in the evaluation of proposals. Those contractors will have access to any and all information contained in the offeror's proposal and will be subject to appropriate conflict of interest, standards of conduct, and confidentiality restrictions.

B. It is the intent of the Government to make an award based on the initial proposal without discussions.

2. Non-Price Evaluation Factors and Evaluation CriteriaTechnical Rating:

The following technical factors and evaluation criteria shall be used:

A. FACTOR 1: Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) or Proven experience on Similar Bell Platforms.

B. FACTOR 2: Accommodates Third Party Installation of approved Phase I Proof of Concept.

C. FACTOR 3: Offers capability for all desired functions in Statement of Work.

D. FACTOR 4: Lightweight and Sustainable.

E. FACTOR 5: Single and Twin-engine Capable Systems.

3. Technical Rating:

Rating Description:

Acceptable: Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable: Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

4. Past Performance:

A. The Government will evaluate the Offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant records of past performance as well as the level of customer satisfaction and compliance with contract requirements in the areas of quality of product/service, adherence to contract schedule, cost control; history of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to providing quality products/services. Under this LPTA solicitation process, the comparative assessment in FAR 15.305(a)(2)(i) does not apply. Therefore, past performance will be rated on an "acceptable" or "unacceptable" basis. Please provide a minimum of three (3) past performance questionares for consid-eration but not more that five (5).

B. The past performance evaluation considers each offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract's requirements. In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the Offeror's Past Performance proposal volume and information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Fed-eral Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting system (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Mangers, Contracting Officers and Fee Determining Officials; The Defense Contract Manage-ment Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources.

NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favor-ably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance and will be rates as “Unknown Confidence (Neutral)”.

C. In determining the rating for the past performance evaluation factor, the Government will consider the contracts which the Govern-ment feels are most relevant to the Government’s requirement. There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation. The fist is to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is to the effort to be acquired under this solicitation. The second aspect of past performance evaluation is to determine how well the offeror performed on the contracts.

a. Recency Assessment: An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past five (5) year from the date of issuance of this solicitation/ Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

b. Relevancy Assessment: The government will conduct an evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine how closely the products provided/services performed under those contracts relate to the requirements of this solicitation. Considera-tion will be given to similarity of services. The government will sue the following relevancy definitions when assessing past perform-ance:

Past performance Relevancy considerations--Rating Definition:

Very Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved comparable scope and magnitude of effort and complexities as this solicita-tion requires.

Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved much of the magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this soli-citation requires.

Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this soli-citation requires.

5. Price Evaluation

A. The Government will evaluation price for award purposes by adding the total price for all line items identified on the Contract Line Item Schedule (CLINS) (Price-Schedule), attachment 2 CLIN structure of the solicitation.

B. For award purposes only, all unit prices for “Over and Above” CLINS will be included in price evaluation, but the “Over and Above” CLINS will not be part of the initial award as the required quantity for this cost reimbursable CLIN cannot be determined un-til after contract award and must be negotiated based on the total and type of support required.

C. A cost and/or price analysis shall be conducted based upon the data submitted by the offeror in order to determine that the negoti-ated cost or price is fair and reasonable.

C-001 STATEMENT OF WORK

Statement of Work For Health and Use Monitoring Systems (HUMS) on INL/A Rotary Wing Aircraft

1. Background

The United States Department of State (DoS), Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, Office of Aviation (INL/A) provides aviation support for, but not limited to, the eradication and interdiction of illicit drugs, training of contractor and host nation personnel, embassy support, movement of personnel and equipment, reconnaissance, personnel recovery, medical evacuation, security of personnel and equipment, and convoy escort.

The DoS INL/A Bureau has identified an immediate requirement for Health and Use Monitoring Systems (HUMS) on the INL/A fleet consisting of Rotary Wing Aircraft. The intent is to start with the review of the rotary wing UH-1 single and twin-engine platform but other aircraft within the fleet may be reviewed for imple-mentation of a HUMS system in the future.

HUMS for rotary wing aircraft will provide diagnostic information required for optimum performance using sensors and embedded diagnostic software to monitor and communicate the health and maintenance needs of the aircraft critical components.

2. Scope

For the initial effort, the selected contractor must provide the U.S. Department of State, Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, Office of Aviation (DoS INL/A) with the most cost effective solution for adding Health and Use Monitoring Systems (HUMS) to the existing fleet of Rotary Wing (RW) aircraft.

The INL/A RW fleet consists of as many as forty-seven (47) single engine (UH-1HII) aircraft and seventeen

(17) twin-engine (UH-1ST) aircraft operating in various CONUS and OCONUS locations.

The ideal HUMS system will possess a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for subject aircraft or proven ex-perience on other Bell products and will be designed, packaged, and documented in a manner that accommod-ates third party installation using detailed instructions after an initial demonstration for installation by the selec-ted contractor on one of each aircraft type at a CONUS operating location.

The desired system functions for rotary wing shall include, but are not limited to the following capabilities:

• Ability to perform Rotor Track and Balance

• Provide Flight Data Monitoring

• Provide Engine Performance Monitoring and Trending Data

• Ability to identify or predict when critical components require or may require maintenance

• Offer Detailed Exceedance Information

• Lightweight System Components, minimizing aircraft weight restrictions

• Simple, Intuitive User Interface

• Ability to provide diagnostic interface to mission software known as Management Information System (MIS) software

• Sustainable for long term use (7+ years)

3. Tasks / Requirements

The Contractor selected with the most capable HUMS system, shall provide a team to perform a system installa-tion prototype on one UH-1HII and one UH-1ST aircraft at a Central Florida location.

Complete post-modification ground and flight-testing to ensure proper system operation and thorough system checks of all disturbed systems.
