SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS BRU-52 Bomb Release Unit Modification Kits (NSN 1095-01-381-5850 P/N DAA3529A047-001) CAUTION: This market survey is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production BRU-52 Bomb Release Unit Modification Kits. The level of security clearance and amount of foreign participation in this requirement has not been determined. Contractors/Institutions responding to this market research are placed on notice that participation in this survey may not ensure participation in future solicitations or contract awards. The government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation in this survey. INSTRUCTIONS: Below is a document containing a description of the BRU-52 Bomb Release Unit Modification Kits requirement and a Contractor Capability Survey, which allows you to provide your company’s capability. If, after reviewing these documents, you desire to participate in the market research, you should provide documentation that supports your company’s capability in meeting these requirements. Failure to provide documentation may result in the government being unable to adequately assess your capabilities. If you lack sufficient experience in a particular area, please provide details explaining how you would overcome the lack of experience/capabilities in order to perform that portion of the requirement (i.e., teaming, subcontracting, etc.) Identify any areas of work that your organization believes should be broken out exclusively for Small Business. Both large and small businesses are encouraged to participate in this Market Research. Joint ventures or teaming arrangements are encouraged. Questions relative to this market survey should be addressed to Philip Young (Philip.Young.5@us.af.mil) and/or Hamilton Wise (William.Wise.12@us.af.mil) BRU-52 Bomb Release Unit Modification Kits PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the production, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements for the production of BRU-52 Bomb Release Unit Modification Kits. The current BRU-52 1095-01-381-5850, P/N DAA3529A047-001 requires a modification to comply with Mil Standard 2088 requirements. The USG will provide the specifications and drawings necessary to manufacture the modificactions kits. This is a build to print acquisition. The acquisition strategy will incorporate a multi-year contract with various ordering periods and a range of quantities to facilitate multiple delivery orders. The projected quantities will vary based on available funding during each ordering period. The total quantity of BRU-52 kits required will be 1,120ea. The BRU-52 Bomb Release Unit carries, monitors and releases bombs from the Smart Bomb Rack Assembly (SBRA) on the B-2 Bomber. The BRU-52 is used for carrying and releasing up to and including 1,000 pound class stores whose lugs are 14 inches on center. A cocked BRU-52 may be released by an electrical signal or with a manually applied load. It can be locked in the cocked position by inserting a cable-controlled safing pin in the mechanism. The BRU-52 includes two arming solenoids, a release solenoid, and a transfer switch. All solenoids incorporate diodes to prevent back Electromotive Force (EMF), and connecting circuits have Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) protection. The BRU-52 modification kit will consist of manufactured components required to complete the necessary modifications to the BRU-52. The component material will consist of 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Annealed and 13-8 PH SS: H1000. In addition to the metal fabrication there will a cable fabrication requirement. The USG is currently working to develop a final design and drawing package for the BRU-52 modification kit. Adherence to the technical data package (TDP) is mandatory. A potential supplier would need to undergo First Article Testing (FAT) per requirements within the TDP. The manufacturer must have facilities that support the production and testing. Furthermore, a safety board review and flight testing may be required in order to satisfy the user. The US Government has the data rights to the engineering technical drawing package (TDP). First Article Testing (FAT) requirements will be applicable in order to qualify new sources. The TDP may not describe specific processes to manufacture some parts and pieces to this item. A manufacturer will need to develop these processes. Interested parties may contact the technical focal point listed to obtain releasable technical data to aid with completion of the capability survey.
