Ground Rules Presentation/Video Reserve all questions until the end of each slide Submit questions in writing via Teams Questions submitted will be answered and followed up in writing and posted to the Industry Day notice on SAM.gov Breakout Sessions (If Applicable) One-on-one breakout sessions are limited to 20 minutes These only apply to vendors that requested a session in advance Questions and answers will be recorded and submitted in writing Participants must notify the Government Team of any proprietary information/questions to avoid the accidental disclosure of information

Program Description The ATS does not meet the definition of a commercial item as defined by FAR Part 2.101 It is only used in support of the F-15, F-16, and F-22 20MM M61A1/A2 Vulcan Gun System The 20MM ATS is used to transfer 20MM ammunition from storage into the Universal Ammunition Loading System (UALS) or Linkless Ammunition Loading System (LALS) for transportation to the flight line. While performing this function, it simultaneously and independently receives spent cases and/or unfired ammunition from the loader assembly. The ATS only functions with loose ammunition

NSN: 4925-01-612-9334; P/N: 201757932-10

Supports the UALS and the LALS trailers for the United States Air Force (USAF); ultimately, these two systems support the F-15, F-16, and F-22 communities USAF currently has 220 authorizations, with 157 in use ATS physical dimensions: 41.25” L x 36.25” W x 40.75” H; Weight: 580 pounds

Program Description The ATS supports both UALS and LALS trailers that the Air Force currently uses The UALS trailer is produced by General Dynamics (GD-OTS) The LALS is produced by Hydraulics International, Inc. (HII)

Using compressed air that is provided by the facility back shop, the ATS can upload 2,100 rounds into both the UALS and LALS Engineering firm that conducted the redesign in 2018 for the current iteration recommends 35-40 PSI Alternatively, a manual speed handle can be used on the ATS if compressed air is unavailable

Considerations Technical data package (TDP) Combination of drawings from original OEM and a local engineering firm Independent engineering firm modified a pre-existing ATS to create a prototype that was less susceptible to jamming Fifteen areas noted by HQACC/A4MM to be reengineered in 2018 Drawings and prototype were subjected to a 500,000 round durability test with the engineering firm Assumption that drawings are not definitive and will need some degree of modification/recommendations Recommended that awarded vendor should have strong engineering and previous experience with ammunition loading equipment as timing and synchronization are key Current ATS and part number have never been in production

ATS Areas for Reengineering

1. Feed tray stoppage, P/N 3305AS1107-3

2. 40T/64T gear wear, P/N 3305AS1145-1 (40T), 3305AS1146-1 (64T),

3. AIU initial timing, P/N 029297-501 cage code 56529

4. Stretched elements

5. Live round chute stoppage

6. Planetary gear drive breakage, P/N 3305AS1470

7. Torque adapter calibration

8. Lubrication

9. Empty space device

10. AIU mount plunger, P/N 029242-1

11. Grounding reel retract failure, P/N SD-2050-OS cage code 82457

12. Tension blocks loosening

13. No bypass mode

14. Support bar, P/N 3305AS1263-1

15. Ammunition Can coming in contact and damaging ATS Round Counter Assembly, P/N 3305AS1103-1

Considerations Cont.

Provisioning Short form as the end item has 400 parts or less Asset to be field repairable The Government strives to maintain long-term availability of parts while avoiding lengthy lead times Testing First Article testing to be conducted by USAF Test personnel (with contractor support) at a TBD location USAF may include Compatibility (with ammunition loading systems) and Operational Testing (with contractor support) Government Furnished Equipment expected to be 750 dummy rounds, UALS, LALS, and standard accessories Estimated Quantities Currently, back orders are approximately 40 in total Assumption that back orders may increase to 60-80 once on contract Estimated quantities of 16 per year over the course of five years

Contract Effort Tentative Acquisition Milestones Release Draft RFP – Dec 2024 Acquisition Strategy Panel – Jan 2025 Finalize Requirements Documents and Source Selection Criteria – Feb/Apr 2025 Release RFP – May/Jun 2025 Contract Award – Sept/Oct 2025 Tentative Contract Arrangement Set-Aside Determination Not Yet Made 5 - 7 year IDIQ Firm Fixed Price Progress Payments available CLIN structure in development First Article CLIN (FFP) Data CLINs (FFP, NSP)

CUI

Contract Effort Tentative Evaluation Criteria from Sources Sought A final decision has not been made on the trade-off methodology and if a down-select process will be utilized

Factor 1: Price Based on total evaluated price for evaluation of base and all options

Factor 2: Technical Written technical narrative, to proceed to oral presentation of a sample task.

Technical risk assessment, inclusion of a realistic Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) submission, to proceed to oral presentation of the IMS.

Critical sub-Contractors

Factor 3: Past Performance
