Robins AFB, Georgia

I. Purpose The Government requires a common armament tester to execute both flightline and backshop requirements prioritizing the F-16 first, followed by F-15 then A-10 fighter fleets. The Government’s primary objective is t h e development, manufacture, deployment, and sustainment of a Common Armament Tester for Fighter (CAT-F). The CAT-F will be used at both Organizational (O-LVL) and Intermediate (I-LVL) Level maintenance. The tester shall be able to execute preload, clean wing, and fault isolation armament requirements and replace, or augment, legacy testers for the F-16, F-15, A10.

The CAT- F shall be cyber secure, nuclear certified and use a Modular Open System Architecture approach. The program will require industry to utilize a CAT-F specific Government Reference Architecture (GRA). The CAT-F acquisition will also be a solution for Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Materiel Shortages (DMSMS) and Obsolescence Issues across several legacy testers.

The Government is providing industry with the overall solicitation objectives which allow flexibility for each offeror to propose an innovative development approach to achieve the Government’s CAT-F requirements. Offerors shall use the Statement of Objectives (SOO) and attachments with the Request for Proposal (RFP) as a basis for preparing their proposal. Proposals shall include a contractor Statement of Work (SOW) and expected Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs). Proposals shall also include an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) that indicates their schedule to design, manufacture, and deliver a CAT-F solution for the F-16, F-15, and A-10 platforms.

II. CAT-F Scope The “CAT-F System” is defined as an O-Level (Flightline) an I-Level (Backshop) tester.

The CAT-F System will be comprised of components with each component requiring kitting designed for safe storage and rapid deployment.

The required components are:

• O-Level Handheld tester

III. O-Level Handheld Tester The CAT-F O-Level Handheld tester must be able to execute legacy O-Level Maintenance (Flightline) Pre-load and Clean Wing requirements for the F-16, F-15, and A-10 fighter aircraft. The Handheld Tester must work independently to execute O-Level test requirements and store testing results. The test results shall be compatible with I- Level Functional and Fault Isolation Tester results. The offeror shall propose a prototype plan that details how the offeror will modify a Non-Developmental Item (NDI) to meet a Critical Design Review (CDR) of the O-Level Handheld Tester within 10 months of contract award.

IV. Aircraft Specific O-Level Cable and Adapter Kit The Cable/Adapter Test Program Set (TPS) Kit is expected to be aircraft specific and contain all-appropriate cables and adapters needed to execute pre-load and clean wing testing required at O- Level Maintenance.

V. I-Level Functional and Fault Isolation Tester The CAT-F I-Level Functional and Fault Isolation Tester must be able to execute legacy I-Level (Backshop) requirements for the F-16, F-15, and A-10 fighter aircraft and shall incorporate the O-Level Handheld tester in its design.

VI. Aircraft Specific I-Level Cable and Adapter Kit The Cable/Adapter TPS Kit is expected to be aircraft specific and contain the appropriate cables and adapters needed to execute Fault Isolation requirements at I-Level Maintenance.

VII. CAT-F Component Quantities The expected component quantities listed are based on current fleet status and may be adjusted to meet future Force Structure Changes. This will be an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract (IDIQ). Table 1.0 indicates the Governments estimated component quantities.

The switch then can simply be flip back into the ‘on’ position to restore power to the tester, providing no additional repairs are required. Verification of KPP2 will be accomplished by applying enough input power to blow fuse or trip circuit breaker in the designed tester, followed by replacing blown fuse or resetting breaker and verify the tester circuits were not damaged. The appropriate sections of MIL-STD-704 (Aircraft Electrical Power Characteristics) will be identified to ensure power requirements for circuit protection are followed. Test
