B-2 Applications/Programs/Indenture (API) Services PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the specialized expertise, capabilities, and experience required for B-2 Applications/Programs/Indenture (API) services that include data verification/correction, gap analysis, data cleansing of API, and actions associated with discrepancy identification of applicable illustrated parts breakdown maintenance parts lists. A draft performance work statement (PWS) is attached. This acquisition strategy is envisioned as a four-year contract (basic plus three option years) and will continue through FY2020. The contractor is expected to have access to OEM engineering data in order to accomplish the work required for this effort. At this time, Northrop Grumman Corporation is the only known source that has access to this data. Sources responding to this notice are expected to provide proof (via OEM licensing agreements or other mechanism) that they have access to the appropriate engineering data needed to accomplish this effort. This effort is designed to provide analysis and corrective actions for data inconsistencies between D200F (API), technical orders (TOs), and source drawings. Reach-back to B-2 OEM data will be necessary to facilitate review and correction of deficiencies associated with D200F and the illustrated parts breakdown maintenance parts lists. This data review is designed to provide technical support of B-2 end items originally managed by the B-2 System Program Office (SPO) that have transitioned to the 424 SCMS. The overall objective of this effort is to provide the Government with updated API facilitating accurate indenture records within D200F and correct part number configuration within the respective illustrated parts breakdown maintenance parts lists. The Government currently does not currently possess engineering/technical data required to perform this workload. The Government believes that only Northrop Grumman Corporation possesses this engineering data at this time. CONTRACTOR CAPABILITY SURVEY B-2 Applications/Programs/Indenture (API) Services Part I.
