AN/ALR-56C TPS/TISS Support The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements to provide engineering support and deficiency report investigations pertaining to the TEWS Intermediate Support Station (TISS). This questionnaire/survey is for the purpose of obtaining information relative to an upcoming engineering effort in the Electronic Warfare Supply Chain Management Squadron (408 SCMS/GULB) at Robins AFB, GA. The Services Contracting Office within the Air Force Sustainment Center will serve as the procuring organization. Companies are encouraged to provide responses to this questionnaire but are advised that their participation is voluntary and no reimbursement of any kind will be provided. The original equipment manufacturer for TISS is Boeing. The Government does not own complete data, drawings, schematics, or any other releasable technical data in support of this requirement. As a result, Boeing is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the TISS performance requirements and possession of the required technical data and capabilities needed to produce this item and ensure compatibility of the equipment. INSTRUCTIONS: The document(s) below contain a description of the TISS Support Requirements and a Contractor Capability Survey. The Survey allows Contractors to provide their 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. TISS Support Requirements: This effort will require the Contractor to investigate and resolve Deficiency Reports (DR) concerning the ALR-56C Test Program Sets (TPS) which run on the AN/ALM-246 TEWS Intermediate Support Station (TISS) and provide Test Program Set (TPS) updates. The objectives for the contractor to accomplish is to perform a DR investigation, submit Report of Findings (ROF) identifying potential fixes/solutions, perform the fix once agreed to by the Government, testing the fix, and packaging the fix for distribution. The Government shall receive monthly status updates on the work accomplished. Additionally the contractor shall provide telephone support, conduct an acceptable Contractor Safety Program and do not delay Mishap Notification and Reporting when required. The TISS is used to maintain the AN/ALR-56 Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) for the F-15C/D/E aircrafts. Over the past several years, numerous Deficiency Reports (DRs) have been reported for the ALR-56C system but were actually TPS issues. Verticality testing issues have been identified as a significant cause. With the current operations tempo every effort must be made to reduce shop flow time and DR’s that restrict carcass from being available to the war fighter. CONTRACTOR CAPABILITY SURVEY Part I.
