Description
THE US ARMY AVIATION AND MISSILE COMMAND INTENDS TO PROCURE, ON A SOLE-SOURCE BASIS FROM GOODRICH, INTEGRATED VEHICLE HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (IVHMS) KITS, A DEPLOYMENT SPARES PACKAGE AND IVHMS PECULIAR GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT (GSE) KITS TO SUPPORT THE MONITORING FOR DEPLOYED UH-60A/L AIRCRAFT. ITEMS AND QUANTITIES ARE LISTED BELOW. ITEM PART NUMBER QTY DEPLOYMENT SPARES PACKAGE IVHMU 30279-0102 2 DEPLOYMENT SPARES PACKAGE DTU 30192-0201 3 DEPLOYMENT SPARES PACKAGE CDU 10150-0204 2 DEPLOYMENT SPARES PACKAGE RDC 30201-0501 1 DEPLOYMENT SPARES PACKAGE DT ACCEL 054366-03 20 DEPLOYMENT SPARES PACKAGE RTB UNIAX ACCEL 054146-02 2 DEPLOYMENT SPARES PACKAGE RTB BIAX ACCEL 054162-02 2 DEPLOYMENT SPARES PACKAGE RTB TRIAX ACCEL 054163-02 2 DEPLOYMENT SPARES PACKAGE DIG 4G ACCEL K1010-5406-0101 1 UH-60 IVHMS INSTALLATION KIT K277-0101 50 IVHMS GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT (GSE) KIT 300833-1005-0201 9 THE IVHMS KIT PROVIDES VEHICLE HEALTH MONITORING AND CRASH SURVIVABILITY DATA TO ASSIST IN MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION. THE IVHMS KIT CONSISTS OF THE INTEGRATED VEHICLE HEALTH MANAGEMENT UNIT (IVHMU), SENSORS FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND ROTOR SMOOTHING, AND ASSOCIATED ITEMS. THE IVHMS INCLUDES THE REMOTE DATA CONCENTRATOR (RDC), WHICH PROVIDES ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL (A/D) DATA CONVERSION CRUCIAL TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CONDITION BASED MAINTENANCE (CBM) ON NON-BUSED (UH-60A/L) AIRCRAFT. THE ABSENCE OF A DIGITAL DATA BUS MEANS THAT A DEVICE LIKE THE RDC IS REQUIRED TO ENABLE DIGITAL DATA COMMUNICATION AND PROCESSING. CBM IS MAINTENANCE BASED UPON EVIDENCE OF NEED. THAT EVIDENCE IS ACQUIRED BY ONBOARD SYSTEMS, LIKE IVHMS, AND PROCESSED OFF AIRCRAFT BY SYSTEMS THAT ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE ARMY LOGISTICS ENTERPRISE INFRASTRUCTURE. THE PURPOSE OF CBM IS TO REDUCE THE MAINTENANCE BURDEN AND THE ?LOGISTICS FOOTPRINT? OF FIELDED SYSTEMS, PARTICULARLY LEGACY SYSTEMS LIKE THE UH-60A/L, SO THAT THEY CAN BE AFFORDABLY SUSTAINED. THE IVHMU INCLUDES AN INTEGRATED COCKPIT VOICE/FLIGHT DATA RECORDER (CV/FDR) AND UNDERWATER ACOUSTIC LOCATING BEACON (UALB). THE DEPLOYMENT SPARES PACKAGE WILL BE USED TO PROVIDE FIELDING SUPPORT TO COMBAT AVIATION BRIGADES (CABS). THE GSE KITS ARE REQUIRED FOR IVHMS OPERATION AND CALIBRATION. BECAUSE THESE ITEMS WILL BE UTILIZED TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE HEALTH MONITORING AND CRASH SURVIVABILITY OF IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN DEPLOYED UH-60A/L BLACK HAWK AIRFRAMES, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE AND THIS REQUIREMENT SHALL BE FILLED IN THE TIMELIEST MANNER POSSIBLE. BELOW IS A REQUIREMENTS SCHEDULE FOR ALL KIT ITEMS: 50 IVHMS A&B; KIT DELIVERY 14 MARCH 2008 3 GSE KITS DELIVERED 14 MARCH 2008 6 GSE KITS DELIVERED 15 MAY 2008 SPARES PACKAGE DELIVERED 15 JUNE 2008 THIS ITEM IS RESTRICTED TO SIMMONDS PRECISION PRODUCTS, INCORPORATED (D/B/A GOODRICH), FOUR COLISEUM CENTRE, 2730 WEST TYVOLA ROAD, CHARLOTTE, NC 28217. THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT POSSESS SUFFICIENT, ACCURATE OR LEGIBLE DATA TO PURCHASE THIS PART FROM OTHER THAN THE CURRENT SOURCE. IVHMS IS APPROVED FOR USE ON UH-60A/L AIRCRAFT VIA THE AIRWORTHINESS RELEASE (AWR) PROCESS, AND HAS COMPLETED NINETY-FIVE PERCENT (95%) OF THE TESTING REQUIRED FOR FULL AIRWORTHINESS QUALIFICATION. THERE IS NO OTHER SYSTEM THAT IS QUALIFIED OR APPROVED VIA AWR WHICH MEETS THE UTILITY HELICOPTERS PROJECT OFFICE (UHPO) REQUIREMENTS FOR CBM, INCLUDING FLIGHT REGIME RECOGNITION, WHICH IS A CRITICAL IVHMS CAPABILITY REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE CBM. IN ORDER TO SUPPORT DEPLOYING NATIONAL GUARD AIRCRAFT, TIME AND FUNDING ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO DEVELOP AND QUALIFY A NEW SYSTEM. DURING DEPLOYMENTS TO IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN, IVHMS EQUIPPED UNITS HAVE OPERATED THEIR AIRCRAFT AT SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER OPERATIONAL READINE! SS RATES IN HIGH OPERATIONAL TEMPO (OPTEMPO) ENVIRONMENTS THAN NON-EQUIPPED UNITS. ALTHOUGH THE GOVERNMENT INTENDS TO SOLICIT AND NEGOTIATE WITH ONLY ONE SOURCE UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF FAR 6.302-1, OTHER INTERESTED SOURCES MAY IDENTIFY THEIR INTEREST AND CAPABILITY TO RESPOND TO THE REQUIREMENT OR SUBMIT A PROPOSAL. THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. HOWEVER, ALL RESPONSIBLE SOURCES THAT SUBMIT A PROPOSAL WILL BE GIVEN DUE CONSIDERATION BY THE GOVERNMENT.
