The Government anticipates awarding a hybrid contract with Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) and Time and Materiel (T&M); Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs). The initial period of performance will be 12 months with two 12-month option periods. The range of this effort will be a minimum of $100K to a maximum of $5M.
The USAF intends to procure between 1 and 20 UAI SIL CT Special Test Equipment (STE) assets to support proper verification and certification of UAI interface requirements on Platforms, Carriage Systems, and Stores. The SIL CTs STEs will be used to execute the UAI Compliance Certification Plans in accordance with UAI Platform/Store Interface Control Document (PSICD). Deliverables will be individual SIL CT STE hardware sets loaded with government furnished software. SIL CT STEs will be produced in accordance with government provided drawings and wiring diagrams and will comply with acceptance testing procedures with results provided to the government. The contractor will be required to update a government-furnished SIL CT Users Manual to keep it current with the SIL CTs.
As a minimum, this effort should include the following:
? Manufacture, assembly, and checkout of all SIL CTs, including installation of government furnished software.
? Perform integrated management tasks for CDRL delivery, and configuration management, including:
i. Develop/Update the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) for SIL CT test asset production to include all relevant tasks.
ii. Effort and materials required to develop and maintain a planning and control system which encompasses program scheduling, cost reporting, management of program risks, and project information compilation and dissemination.
Potential contract options could include technical support, technical refresh, and product warranty.
REQUIREMENTS
As the SIL CT is still in the final stages of development, specific requirements for acceptable sources must be met, including:
? Thorough familiarity with all applicable UAI core documents, including the Platform-Store Interface Control Document, Compliance Certification Plan, SIL CT System Specification, and SIL CT Hardware Specification. These documents can be made available upon request, subject to USAF policy on release of documents marked as Distribution D.
? Demonstrated past experience in the design, manufacture and test of weapon and aircraft simulator hardware
? Must have all necessary facilities to test and verify compliance of manufactured SIL CT with SIL CT Hardware Specifications
? Meet required delivery schedule of no later than 31 Oct 2008
? Demonstrated ability to sustain and update existing prototype CTs

? Established supplier/vendor relationships with demonstrated responsiveness in corrective actions to hardware problems identified during testing
? Must currently have or be able to establish Associate Contractor Agreements or other applicable proprietary information agreements with developers of both the Universal Store Simulator (USS) and Universal Platform Simulator (UPS) software.
