Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for the Air Force AN/FYQ-156 Battle Control System (Fixed) Increment 3.1Hardware

For planning and information purposes, the Ogden Air Logistics Center, 500 Combat Sustainment Squadron, Atmospheric Early Warning System Flight (500 CBSS/GBLA) is seeking potential sources for Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) of the AN/FYQ-156 Battle Control System-Fixed (BCS-F) hardware. Hardware includes Hewlett Packard (HP) servers, workstations, and monitors; non-HP routers and switches; and interface computers requiring support contracts with third party vendors for hardware sustainment. The HP hardware will be under warranty for the first nine months of the anticipated contract. Technical Order documentation and updates will be required for equipment undergoing configuration changes. The anticipated contract will require a contractor to provide services to plan and manage logistics for the previously described hardware by ensuring the following locations have an appropriate level of spare parts on site at four U.S. sectors: Eastern Defense Sector (EDS) near Rome, NY; Western Defense Sector (WDS) near Tacoma, WA; Hawaii Region Air Operations Center (HIRAOC) near Oahu, HI, and Alaskan Region Air Operations Center (AKRAOC) near Anchorage AK, a System Support Facility (SSF) at Tyndall AFB, FL, and HP hardware at the Canadian sector (CADS) near North Bay, Ontario, Canada. This requirement is anticapted to be full and open competition (large and small businesses). If the Government determines two small businesses are cabable this effort will be small business set aside. The government requests that interested companies complete the attached Market Survey to provide a summary of relevant experience regarding hardware logistics sustainment to include spares ordering, storage, and distribution; determining adequacy of spares levels, warranty management, diminishing manufacturing sources and obsolescence tracking, monthly report submission, parts control, and making recommendations regarding technical refresh of all BCS-F Increment 3.1 hardware to include timing and hardware identification. Current sustainment is via an Interim Contractor Support contract with the BCS-F prime contractor supporting approximately 183 items. In 42 months of operation of similar BCS-F Increment 2.X equipment in the same operational environment, there have been 289 total failures of 51 unique items, with the maximum number of items being shipped in a month being 15 and the minimum being 3. 1.
