INTRODUCTION

1. Purpose

1.1.1. The purpose of this contract is to provide the U.S. Air Force a multiple award IDIQ contract to provide low cost and rapid delivery of diverse wiring harnesses parts and kits, for the F-16 fleet to include all Block aircraft. The F-16 Systems Integration office requires the ability to have wiring harnesses built in rapid succession in order to meet program and budgetary timeline constraints.

1.1.2. Kit (kt.) and Part (ea.) quantities ordered will be determined by each delivery order.

2. Scope

2.1.1. This SOW addresses the requirement to utilize additional sources to procure wiring harnesses parts and kits. All harness specifications will be identified for each delivery order in the provided drawings.

2.1.2. In accordance with (IAW) provided drawings the Contractor shall build and deliver part lists, Government provided documents, requirements and standards, diverse wiring harnesses parts and kits to be used on F-16 aircraft.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

3. Requirements

3.1.1. The contractor shall be required to build all parts to the specifications provided for each separate Delivery Order placed against this contract.

CONTRACTOR TASKING / REQUIREMENTS

5. Contractor Specific Requirements

5.1.1. The Contractor shall build and deliver, IAW provided drawings, requirements and standards, diverse wiring harnesses/kits/parts to be used on all current and future Blocks of F-16 aircraft. The harness components are to be fabricated per engineering drawings and documents and per F-16 harness specification 16PR145 section 3.

5.1.2. Specific requirements shall be called out in each delivery order placed against this contract if needed.

6. Quality Assurance Plan

6.1.1. The Contractor shall have a Quality Assurance Plan that complies with SAE AS9100 and AS9102. This plan, as a minimum, shall include inspection, validation, evaluation, corrective action and procedures necessary to effect quality of all products provided under this contract.

6.1.3. Quality Assurance shall demonstrate that the Government’s designs are adhered to and that material used conforms to the approved designs/drawings provided by the Government. (CDRL A001)

7. Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM)

7.1.1. The Government may require an estimate/rough order of magnitude (ROM) for budgeting and planning purposes. These would be provided at no additional cost to the Government. At the request of the Government Program Manager, Engineer, Contracting Officer, Contracting Specialist or other Government Representative, each Contractor is required to provide a ROM to the Government contact at no additional cost to the Government. If a Contractor is unable to provide a ROM, the Contractor shall provide detailed rationale why this could not be accomplished. The Government may choose to issue a negative CPAR rating/comments for a Contractor that does not support ROM requests.

8. Proposals

8.1.1. For each wiring harness requirement, a set of drawings/specifications will be provided to each contractor. The contractor will use this information to prepare a proposal for the Government’s evaluation. After evaluation the Government will award a delivery order (DO) to the successful contractor whose proposal meets the technical requirements and is found to be the best value. This will most likely go the lowest price offer that is found to be technically acceptable. Each order will delineate the Governments requirements and standards for that order.

9. Delivery Requirements

9.1.1. Each solicitation for each delivery order will include Government requested/expected delivery schedule(s). The finalized delivery schedule(s) for each deliver order will be determined by the following process:

9.1.1.1. The Government intends to award orders based on LPTA, which requires the Contractors to meet the requested/expected delivery schedule(s) outlined in the each solicitation to be Technically Acceptable for each delivery order. However, Contractors may propose even if they cannot meet the requested/expected delivery schedule (i.e. delivery schedule(s) would be later). Proposals that cannot meet the required/expected delivery schedule(s) shall identify the delivery schedule(s). If the Government receives multiple proposals and one or more contractors have proposed delivery schedule(s) that cannot meet the required/expected delivery schedule, the Government may either deem the proposals Not Technically Acceptable or may revise the solicitation to allow for a trade-off between price and delivery schedule(s). The revised solicitation may be extended 7 days from the issue date to allow Contractors to update proposals. If an updated proposal is not received within that time period, the original proposal will be evaluated as a trade-off. The Government may be willing to pay a higher price for an earlier delivery; however, the Government will not be willing to pay a higher price for deliveries that are earlier than the original requested/expected delivery schedule(s). The initial solicitation/sample task RFP-FY18-0001 shall be LPTA.

9.1.2. A Status Report shall be provided 30 days ARO and each month following documenting the effort towards achieving the contract objectives and subsequent Delivery Order (D.O.) objectives. (CDRL A002)

13.1 For all possible no cost changes to the original Technical Data Package (TDP) up until production acceptance, the contractor shall coordinate these changes with the Government Program Manager (PM) and receive written approval from the PM to incorporate these changes into the First Article and Production kits/parts.
