Synopsis: The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) plans to procure: (1) approximately one AirFASE (Flight Analysis and Safety Explorer) software license; and (2) software support of approximately one AirFASE license for 5 years. The subject action is planned to be awarded in the first quarter of Government Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22). DISCLAIMER: This Sources Sought Notice is issued in accordance with DFARS 206.302-1(d) and PGI 206.302-1. This is not a Request for Proposals. Responses in any form are not offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this Notice. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Notice or otherwise pay any person's costs incurred responding to this Notice. Background: Teledyne is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the AirFASE Software tool. ADSQ (AirFASE Data Software Query) allows batch export of parametric data from processed flights and stores them as individual CSV(comma separated value) files. The AirFASE software suite enables parsing, analysis and export of raw flight data captured by the Multi-Functional Data Acquisition Unit (MFDAU) into engineering useable units using user-defined filters and parameter sets. AirFASE is the only tool available to perform this process for P-8A full flight data and provides access to over 5000 parameters. Access to the data is critical from a Propulsion and Power standpoint, as the data is utilized for mission analysis validation and risk analysis purposes. The data substantiates current life limits on life limited engine components and provides the basis for future life extension efforts, which will result in significant cost savings over engine total lifetime due to increased utilization and fewer premature removals and replacements of costly critical rotating components.
