AirFase Software Modification

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract action on an other than full and open basis to Teledyne Controls, El Segundo, CA, for a software modification to the ground-based AirFASE (Flight Analysis and Safety Explorer) software toolset used by NAVAIR for the determination of airframe and engine usage from flight data generated by the P-8A Poseidon aircraft. This software modification must associate P-8 flight data of any age with the appropriate AirFASE Flight Analysis Program (FAP) regardless of ACMS (Aircraft Condition Monitoring Software) version. The contract action is planned to be awarded in the fourth quarter of Government Fiscal Year 2020. DISCLAIMER: This Notice is issued in accordance with FAR 5.204. 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. Teledyne is also the OEM of the Multi-Function Data Acquisition Unit (MFDAU), which captures the flight data used by AirFASE. No other tool exists that can be used with the proprietary software Teledyne installs on the MFDAU. The Government possesses neither the technical data nor the computer software to enable a source, other than Teledyne, to meet the requirements.
