J--Performance Based Logistics (PBL) support of the Hamilton Sundstrand Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) system used on multiple aircraft platforms

NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support, Philadelphia will be renewing the current Performance Based Logistics (PBL) for the Auxiliary Power Units (APU) systems and other APU components with Hamilton Sundstrand (Cage Codes 55820 and 73030) in the Spring of 2014. Under the proposed follow-on contract, the contractor will continue to provision, stock, repair, modify and/or replace, store and ship serviceable Ready-For-Issue (RFI) equipment directly to the end user within guaranteed delivery time frames. The renewal PBL contract will require an integrated product life cycle approach whereby the contractor assumes responsibility for many management and support functions related to the PBL such as engineering and logistics support. The PBL contract may require both reliability sustainment and reliability improvements. Hamilton Sundstrand will be required to independently meet system demand metrics or flying hour metrics through WRA /LRU repair and replacement, guaranteed availability, reliability and inventory management. The contractor will also manage technical configurations changes and obsolescence issues. The contractor will be required partner with various organic depots such as FRC-E (Cherry Point), Hill Air Force Base, etc. and to renew and/or execute new Commercial Services Agreements. The renewal PBL contract may add coverage for Navy V-22 APUs and components; may include coverage for Air Force F-16/KC-135/B-2 APUs and components; may include Army CH-47 and H-60 APUs and components; and may also include coverage for DLA unique parts as well as piece parts in support of O and I levels. The maximum period of performance for this effort will not exceed 10 years. Justification for Sole Source Acquisition: the statutory authority applicable to permit other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) and (iii) with only one responsible source and no other supplies and services will satisfy agency requirements. Hamilton Sundstrand, Cage Codes 55820 and 73030 is the OEM for the Navy H-46/H-53/V-22 APUs and APU components, the Air Force F-16/KC135/B-2 APUs and APU components , the Army CH-47/H-60 APUs and APU components only Hamilton Sundstrand alone has the engineering expertise and technical data necessary to perform essential PBL tasks such as repair, resolution of obsolescence issues, sustainment of reliability and management of configuration of the Navy’s Critical Safety Item/Critical Application Item WRAs/SRAs covered by the contemplated procurement. In addition, applicable depot repair manuals which define the tear down, inspection and reassembly of the WRAs/SRAs, identify Hamilton Sundstrand as the only source of supply for various major parts such as shafts, housings and gears. Further, only Hamilton Sundstrand owns the necessary design, configuration, manufacturing, production and process data capable to perform the required reliability sustainments/improvements required and has access to the original design data/OEM intellectual property. Subcontracting Opportunities: All businesses interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Hamilton Sundstrand. For newer platforms, such as the V-22, reliability improvements are of a nature that will require Hamilton Sundstrand to be deeply involved in configuration management issues and systems engineering design changes, which will require access to original design data and OEM intellectual property.
