This Sources Sought Notice is being posted to satisfy the requirement of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 10.001 and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) PGI 206.103-170.
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR} is seeking eligible business firms who can provide a depot repair and overhaul capability for Ford Class carriers for the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS).
The efforts will entail depot level logistics support, products, and test benches, to include all required test fixtures, test stands, Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE), Common Support Equipment (CSE), software, and tools, as part of the test configuration logistics product updates as it directly correlates to Depot Stand Up for the EMALS Ford Class. This effort also includes Support Equipment Requirement Data (SERDs), Support Equipment Tools, engineering, program management, and logistics support. The planned contract award date is April 2027, with performance through June 2030 (inclusive of options) to support Ford Class operational capability.
Background:
EMALS is an aircraft launch system that provides the ability to launch current and projected carrier-based, nose-gear-launch (NGL) equipped aircraft from Ford-class aircraft carriers. The ESS is comprised of 12 motor-generators and control systems and powers the carrier-s aircraft launch system. The AAG is an aircraft arrestment system that provides the ability to recover current and projected carrier-based, tail-hook-equipped aircraft from Ford-class aircraft carriers. The EMALS and AAG systems improve both launch and arresting gear margins of safety from the current steam catapult and current arresting gear levels to the values needed for future fleet operational requirements.
Special Requirements:
NAVAIR expects to receive from each respondent a full response with capability summary, which contains a detailed description that clearly demonstrates the below requirements
