USAF SAMPLE TASK

Prepared By:

416 SCMS/GUMAA

6070 Gum Lane Bldg. 1213 Hill AFB, UT 84056-5825

1.0 Background

The Avionics Intermediate Shop (AIS) Systems Sustainment Program, located in the 416 Supply Chain Management Squadron (SCMS), utilizes a Product Support Integrator (PSI) to ensure operational capability of IAIS / VXI-IAIS / R-IAIS Systems worldwide by providing system-level support for systems engineering, integration, problem resolution, sustainment, and purchasing activities. IAIS Series Systems are used by the United States Air Force (USAF), European Participating Air Forces (EPAF), Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and Depot end-users to perform fault diagnostic testing/repair of F-16 Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortage (DMSMS) issues negatively impact IAIS / VXI-IAIS / R-IAIS availability rates, resulting in reduced aircraft availability. Therefore, in order to sustain operational capabilities and maintain mission readiness in support of F-16 avionics testing requirements, a comprehensive obsolescence mitigation and update program is necessary to ensure continued availability of components required to sustain and produce IAIS series Automated Test Systems (ATS).

2.0 Purpose

The purpose of this Statement of Objectives (SOO) is to solicit a proposal for the 416 SCMS/GUMAA that will result in a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Performance Based Task Order for resolving two DMSMS issues currently impacting IAIS series production and sustainment activities.

3.0 Scope

The Scope of this effort is to obtain AIS/PSI services to provide for the identification, resolution, and implementation of solutions for obsolete component items in IAIS series (IAIS, VXI-IAIS, R-IAIS as appropriate) Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) and their associated instrumentation. The scope of this effort shall:

· Obtain AIS/PSI technical services.

· Provide for the procurement of materials, integration, and testing of all required deliverables.

· Provide all necessary supplies, spares, tools, test equipment, consumables, hardware, software, automatic data processing equipment, data/documentation, and other applicable properties.

· Provide Program Management (CDRL A001, DI-MGMT-80227/T).

· Obtain sufficient rights in technical data, both software and hardware, such that the Government can maintain and modify the equipment using government personnel and third-party contractors as required now, and in the future, as applicable.

4.0 Period and Place of Performance

· The POP for this effort is 19 months.

· Work will be performed at both contractor and end-user facilities.

5.0 Performance Objectives/Description of Work:

· Identification of compatible Form-Fit-Function items to replace the existing items if it is more cost-effective than re-engineering the obsolescence out of the existing items. The contractor shall identify and define the tasks associated with this obsolescence mitigation effort. Tasks may include querying industry sources for potential candidates, evaluating form-fit-function-interface replacement components and/or design alternatives to ensure identical or improved functionality; developing, integrating, and delivering modified software to enable the developed hardware to function appropriately with the ATS; obtaining sufficient quantities of potential replacement components for testing of the government-approved component design; performing all testing necessary to qualify the government-approved component design; and providing all necessary documentation required to test, stock-list, and use the final approved component solutions.

Tasks shall constitute a comprehensive plan to ensure the Government has replacement items that are fully functional, enhance system performance, and are fully sustainable for the foreseeable future. A final report shall be delivered to the Government (CDRL A009, DI-MISC-80508B/T) that includes prospective replacement candidates, the process of selection, integration testing results, hardware prototype production, and other key elements.

· ATE Component Hardware: The contractor shall provide for the investigation, design, and development (as appropriate), testing, and qualification of replacement IAIS Series ATE components and ancillary SE for the items identified in Table 1 (CDRL A002, DI-SESS-81000F/T; CDRL A003, DI-SESS-81874/T):

Table 1. Obsolete ATE Components /Assemblies

Part Number Nomenclature

· The contractor shall provide all associated Logistics and Provisioning Data as well as Technical Reports and Studies associated with this effort. Additionally, the contractor shall ensure that all applicable Technical Orders, drawings, schematics, reference material, and technical data are updated with the relevant information at the completion of the effort (CDRL A003, DI-SESS-81874/T; CDRL A007, DI-AVCS-80700A/T; CDRL A009, DI-MISC-80508B/T; CDRL A015 TM-86-01R/T).

· If applicable, the contractor shall create Field Service Bulletin (FSB) packages to update the appropriate IAIS Series ATE (CDRL A009, DI-MISC-80508B/T).

· The contractor shall integrate the resultant solutions with the LRU Test Program Sets (TPSs) to maintain LRU testability and throughput prior to release for production cut-in to ensure mission readiness is maintained throughout the customer base. The contractor shall ensure all changes are compatible with the existing system and are fully functional with no degradation among all applicable systems.

· Software Development/Updates: As required, the contractor shall identify any Software Product Anomaly Reports (SPARs) and/or Deficiency Reports (DRs) necessary to update IAIS Series ATE Control and Support (C&S), Self-Test, and/or TPS software to function with the hardware replacements identified in Table 1. The contractor shall incorporate identified C&S and Self-Test DRs into the software as part of the normal C&S software maintenance update schedule that is performed under a separate government contract with the ATE OEM. Identified TPS SPARs and DRs shall adhere to the Informal Tech Data Exchange (ITDE) workload distribution to be resolved by the TPS OEM or the 516 SWES, as appropriate. All SPARs and DRs shall be included in the final report (CDRL A009, DI-MISC-80508B/T).

· Program Management: The contractor shall plan and manage daily operations and activities associated with providing this requirement to ensure the necessary processes and activities are performed to provide an effective and acceptable system. The contractor shall employ effective management tools and methods to provide control of cost, schedule, and performance. The contractor shall provide technical support to the Government throughout the duration of this effort that includes, but is not limited to, development of engineering and technical data, responding to requests for technical assistance, and development of technical alternatives to remedy government-identified issues. As needed, the contractor shall conduct, support, or participate in program management and technical reviews, meetings, and conferences to ensure effective and efficient project execution (CDRL A001, DI-MGMT-81928/T CDRL A030, DI-MGMT-81861C/T).

6.0 Operating Constraints

· Warranty: No warranty will be required beyond the OEM warranty. All OEM warranties will be identified by the prime contractor and will transfer to the Government.

· Acceptance Testing: There is no acceptance testing requirement for this effort; however, the contractor shall perform integration and qualification testing as required to validate the acceptability of the government-approved design. (CDRL A002, DI- SESS-81000F/T)

· Delivery: At the conclusion of this effort, the contractor shall deliver any prototype hardware not consumed during integration and qualification testing to the Government in accordance with Disposition Instructions provided by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). Delivery shall be FOB Source to Hill AFB, UT or another CONUS location determined by the Government.

· Installation: No installations will be required for this Task Order

· Security: The contractor shall comply with the security requirements detailed on the DD Form 254.

· Government Furnished Equipment (GFE): GFE is not anticipated to be required for this effort. In accordance with FAR 45.102(a) contractors are ordinarily required to furnish all property necessary to perform Government contracts. If it is determined that GFE is needed to meet requirements, the contractor shall identify by utilizing the Government Furnished Property attachment forms found at the DoD Procurement Toolbox https://dodprocurementtoolbox.com. The contractor shall provide the Government with dates the GFE is needed by, as well as the duration of use, in order to successfully complete requirements for this effort. Any property requested will be evaluated on the Government assumption of risk.
