UPDATE 02/07/2020: The purpose of this update is to communicate the Government's potential interest in pursuing Request for White Papers (RFWP) IAW 10 USC 2371b in regards to prototype hardware. Specifically, prototype hardware for the RMCD effort through the Air Force Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Consortium initiative. If the Government pursues and Other Transaction for Prototype (OTP), an official RFWP will be distributed through SOSSEC, our consortium manager, and through beta.sam.gov. Please contact SOSSEC if you would like to become a member of the consortium at: https://sossecinc.com/about-sossec-consortium/. UPDATE 01/28/2020: Contractor Questions and answers have been included in attachments section. As a reminder, the response deadline has moved to 02/07/2020. UPDATE 01/23/2020: The response deadline has been moved to 02/07/2020. UPDATED 01/15/2020: The C-5M RMCD Program appreciates industry's participation thus far. We have included additional questions in the package titled Amendment 4 (Reference FA8625-19-R-6608). The C-5M, Super Galaxy, Program Office is planning a program to deliver redesigned Multi-Function Display Units (MFDUs). This redesign will resolve known diminishing manufacturing source issues with this Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), avoid projected aircraft Mission Incapable for Parts-based grounding issues, and improve overall aircraft availability metrics. This RFI's intent is obtain industry inputs on issues impinging upon acquisition and contract strategy development. Please note the information requested should not be construed as a decision or commitment to pursue any acquisition. Instead, this information will be compiled to inform the Government's procurement strategy. This Request for Information is requesting your responses for the government’s plan to deliver redesigned primary flight display system within the C-5M aircraft for 2 test aircraft. In general, the program will consist of a comprehensive solution for acquisition, sustainment, and interim repair of an RMCD system for all 52 C-5 aircraft. The Engineering Manufacturing & Development (EMD) effort is anticipated to consist of an organic software development effort, specified Group B hardware, and all of the work required to complete the integration of the combined system from those two entities. This work primarily includes installation design, integration testing, systems engineering, and physical installation on two aircraft. We are requesting your response to the following questions in support of the aforementioned integration, systems engineering, and installation aspects of this activity.
