Envirornmental Control Test Set

This effort is for the procurement of the Environmental Control System Test Set (ECSTS).  The  National Stock Number (NSN) is 4920-01-387-6124RN and  Part Number (P/N) H301-4.  It is used on all blocks of the F-16 aircraft to measure the environmental systems of the aircraft. The test set contains a temperature subsystem, a pressure subsystem, and a multimeter subsystem. It uses a digital display panel assembly for testing aircraft equipped with electronic sensor/controllers and 41-pin test connectors. The display panel has a small microprocessor on a computer driver board that controls 36 digital display modules on a digital display board, a small power supply dedicated to the digital display panel, and a display board with 36 digital display modules with  gating circuits, a temperature subsystem, a pressure subsystem, and a multi- meter subsystem to troubleshoot the ECS of all F-16 aircraft. This test set is military unique and is not a commercial item.

This effort will be executed as a Firm Fixed Price  Requirements IDC, consisting of a period of performance inclusive of a one (1) year basic and four (4), annual ordering periods. This requirement will consist of both USAF requirements and FMS requirements. Future AF, DOD, and FMS requirements will be executed via the Ordering Period. Total Best Estimated Quantity for each year is 11 EA.

It was awarded on a sole source basis to Howell Instruments, Inc (CAGE Code:  98869) under authority of FAR 6.302-1 because no other source has the proprietary data to provide the Test Sets. The government does not own the technical data package (TDP), nor is the product under the configuration control of the US Government.
