NOTICE OF PROPOSED CONTRACT ACTION (NOPCA)/SYNOPSIS. This is not the solicitation. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Cryptologic and Cyber Systems Division (AFLCMC/HNCK), Joint Base San Antonio, Lackland AFB, TX, hereby gives a notice of intent to solicit and award, a competitive small business set aside, firm-fixed price contract.

Description:

Scope of the project includes conceptual design of the COPV case and rack interface (if necessary), testing and analysis, prototype production, first article production, and quantity production order. This product is not available commercially and will be designed as a specific solution for our mission system. Products of this effort shall include a production level technical data package (TDP) with all data rights reserved by the government, an acceptance testing report, one prototype, one first article assembly, and as many production units as possible.

The culmination of these efforts are a fully airworthiness certified assembly, and, by proxy, a certified mechanical interface control document (MICD). All of these activities will reduce competitive barriers because a new product developed using the system requirements should result in an airworthiness approved design.

The Government intends to release solicitation by 06 January 2025 and to make an award by March 2025. No technical data, drawings, or orders are available for this synopsis. Proposals for the required items are NOT being requested through this notice.

In accordance with Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, 5352.201-9101, the AFLCMC Ombudsman can be contacted via Deputy Director, Acquisition Excellence & Program Execution Directorate, AFLCMC/AQ-AZ Workflow (email: ASCA@us.af.mil), at 937-255-5512 or DSN 785-5512, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH.
