Platform: AGM-86B, Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM)

CAUTION:

This market survey is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for the remanufacture effort for the EAC. 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 as this survey is for planning purposes and may not result in a solicitation or contract. The government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation in this survey.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Attached is the Boeing Flight Control Servo Assembly envelope drawing, 232-11704, containing a description of the overall performance requirements for the EAC and a Contractor Capability Survey which allows you to provide your company’s capability.

a. The Government may be able to provide additional technical data upon request, but the Government does not possess a complete technical data package.

2. If, after reviewing these documents, you desire to participate in the market research, you should provide documentation that supports your company’s capability in meeting these requirements. Failure to provide documentation may result in the government being unable to adequately assess your capabilities. If you lack sufficient experience in a particular area, please provide details explaining how you would overcome the lack of experience/capabilities to perform that portion of the requirement (i.e., teaming, subcontracting, etc.)

a. Identify any areas of work that your organization believes should be broken out exclusively for Small Business.

3. Both large and small businesses are encouraged to participate in this Market Research.

Joint ventures or teaming arrangements are encouraged. All submissions will be reviewed in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 19 procedures.

4. Questions related to this market survey should be addressed to Natalie Stokely, Contracting Officer, AFNWC/PZNT. 918-429-3748, natalie.stokely@us.af.mil.

PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION:

The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for the remanufacture effort for the EAC, part number 2117580-2-1 and NSN 1420-01-098-5936. The Flight Control Servo Assembly (FCSA) consists of two identical linear actuators, driven by a common electronic control unit, the Elevon Actuator Controller (EAC). The controller consists of circuits to perform actuator position signal summing, error signal amplification, servo loop compensation, and power drive stages for the servo motors, current limiting, and buffer circuits to output position, motor current monitor signals and motor voltage monitor signals. The EAC accepts analog voltage inputs proportional to the elevon position command, 28 VDC power, and +- 15 VDC power. The 28 vdc and +- 15 dc grounds are isolated outside of the servo assembly. The FCSA controls the elevon which guides the missile to its intended target. The purpose of this remanufacture effort is to provide a full rate production effort of the remanufactured EACs that meets the original design requirements and all nuclear hardness requirements.

The contractor shall be capable of producing 550 remanufactured EACs with the work to include disassembly, cleaning, inspection, assembly, testing, troubleshooting, and root-cause failure analysis to return an unserviceable EAC to a serviceable or like-new condition.

The contractor shall be capable of furnishing all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment required to accomplish the remanufacture and all required testing to include functional testing and product reliability verification testing (PRVT). Specifically, the contractor shall be capable of producing EAC-specific test equipment to confirm each produced EAC’s conformance to the requirements of envelope drawing 232-11704. Additionally, the contractor may be responsible for supply chain management, logistics planning, long-lead time parts procurement, diminishing manufacturing sources, and material shortage issues.

Throughout this effort, the contractor shall be responsible for refining the remanufacturing procedures and test procedures for the EAC. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining configuration changes to the EAC down to the shop replaceable unit (SRU) and component level and updating the technical data package (TDP) accordingly.
