NAWCADLKE is requesting information of industry’s capability of manufacturing Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) or Modified COTS (MCOTS) Pressure Transducers that meet or exceed the requirements table below. The Pressure Transducers shall meet or exceed the following performance/environmental requirements: Table 1: Transducer Performance Requirements range ID Worst Case Range Worst Case Accuracy 1 0 PSIA - 30 PSIA +/-0.0153 PSIA 2 4.9 PSIA - 14.7 PSIA +/-0.25 PSIA 3 14.7 PSIA - 64.7 PSIA +/-0.05 PSIA 4 14.7 PSIA - 64.7 PSIA +/-1 PSIA 5 14.7 PSIA - 64.7 PSIA +/-0.1 PSIA 6 14.7 PSIA - 114.7 PSIA +/-0.05 PSIA 7 0 PSIA - 114.7 PSIA +/-0.0153 PSIA 8 14.7 PSIA - 114.7 PSIA +/-0.2 PSIA 9 7.86 PSIA - 214.7 PSIA +/-0.0098 PSIA 10 7.86 PSIA - 264.7 PSIA +/-0.0098 PSIA 11 0 PSIA - 314.7 PSIA +/-0.0098 PSIA 12 7.86 PSIA - 314.7 PSIA +/-0.0098 PSIA 13 7.86 PSIA - 16.21 PSIA +/-0.0049 PSIA 14 7.86 PSIA - 16.21 PSIA +/-0.0098 PSIA 15 12.77 PSIA - 15.72 PSIA +/-0.0098 PSIA 16 14.7 PSIA - 514.7 PSIA +/-0.5 PSIA 17 0 to 2000 PSIA +/- 6.8 PSIA 18 10.81 PSIA - 15.72 PSIA +/-0.0049 PSIA 19 7.86 PSIA - 16.21 PSIA +/-0.0098 PSIA 20 0 to 600 PSIA +/- 1.70 PSIA 21 14.7 PSIA - 34.7 PSIA +/-0.4 PSIA 22 11.79 PSIA - 15.72 PSIA +/-0.79 PSIA 23 12.7 PSIA - 16.7 PSIA +/-0.0109 PSIA Table 2: Transducer Environmental Requirement Environmental Specification Temperature Range Range 1 -40°C - +71°C Range 2 0°C - +50°C Range 3 +10°C - +25°C NAVAIR is seeking the following information from industry vendors to demonstrate how they can meet the requirements listed above: Vendor capability. Vendor capacity. Documentation demonstrating that the vendor is capable of manufacturing COTS and/or modified COTS Pressure Transducers. Any information on past performance of similar efforts. All interested parties should have the following: Quality assurance program that is ISO9001 compliant or equivalent. Test data showing the above performance and environmental requirements have been met with the proposed Pressure Transducers. Along with the interest and information on the above, it is requested that estimated price information is provided. The government is requesting unit price and lead time per Pressure Transducer type. Brochures, manufacturing capability and capacity, and past performance information may be included in the RFI response. To assist in our market research and determination of any applicable small business set-aside for this effort, if you are a small business interested in priming this effort and plan to utilize “similarly situated entities” to meet the Limitations on Subcontracting, please identify the name & CAGE Code of the specific firm(s) you intend to partner/subcontract with to meet the requirements as well as their SB size status under the NAICS code assigned to this notice. Information regarding any planned similarly situated entity should be included in answering any questions outlined in this RFI in order to assist the Government’s capability determination.” FAR 52.219-14 Limitation on Subcontracting requires a small business prime on a Set-Aside to perform at least 50% of the cost of contract performance. Small business primes may now count “first tier subcontracted” work performed by similarly situated entities as if it were performed by the prime itself.
