Description: The Global Positioning Systems Wing (GPSW), MAGR 2000 Program, intends to add a Technical Services CLIN and Clause to contract FA8807-05-D-0001 on a sole-source basis to Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems. The period of performance of the CLIN would be for the life of the contract (16 December 2014) and will acquire data packages, data rights, and approximately 10,000 direct labor hours. Contract FA8807-05-D-0001 for the production, upgrade and repair of Miniaturized Airborne GPS Receiver 2000 (MAGR 2000) does not currently have a Technical Services CLIN. Such a CLIN is required in order to garner the specialized support of the MAGR 2000 production contractor (Raytheon) for a variety of upcoming MAGR 2000 related support operations such as platform integration, and most immediately, a Depot Source of Repair (DSOR) decision. The Air Force is committed to retaining a robust and affordable organic depot maintenance capability to support the war fighter while fulfilling the requirements of Title 10 USC 2464 (Core organic capability) and Title 10 USC 2466 (50/50). Air Force policy mandates that all systems that require hardware, software and/or cryptological depot level maintenance have an approved DSOR decision. In order to accomplish the DSOR process on the MAGR 2000, the Government requires the assistance of Raytheon to identify the full scope of everything needed to establish a full-up organic depot and depot partnering approach. After the scope is defined, Raytheon will then be required to generate a complete data package detailing all of the elements in the scope. GPSW intends to expand the scope of the contract to include a Technical Services CLIN. The Government can then issue delivery orders against this CLIN for Raytheon to assist where necessary in the DSOR process. Under this new CLIN (0032) and Clause (SCR H.20) the Government shall have the right from time to time during the period of performance of this contract, to order technical services. The CLIN and Clause are attached to this SSS and described below. 1. SCOPE: The contractor shall provide technical services to Government, its Testers, Users, or Equipment Integrators. The contractor services include, but are not limited to, testing, written analysis, courses of action, on-site support and recommendations. The contractor may be required to provide the Government with deliverable products, data packages, and separately priced data rights to address Government concerns in regards to technical services requested. Specific services will be requested on a Request for Proposal (RFP) and ordered on a delivery order. Each delivery order under this clause will have a unique Statement of Work (SOW) to specify services and deliverables for the following requirements. 1.1. Integration support for MAGR 2000 equipment integration into designated platforms. This can include technical, operational and logistical support requirements. 1.2. Assistance with a Depot Source of Repair (DSOR) decision fulfilling the requirements of Title 10 USC 2464 (Core organic capability) and Title 10 USC 2466 (50/50). 1.3. On-site support as directed for the resolution of general technical, operational or logistical support issues or concerns. 1.4. Testing support services during technical, operational and logistics support testing including support questions concerning operation clarification and testing procedures of the MAGR 2000 receiver and accessories. Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems, the current MAGR 2000 contractor, is considered the only responsible source that can provide the above supplies and services without the Government incurring substantial duplication of cost that are not expected to be recovered through competition and/or unacceptable delays in fulfilling its requirements (10 USC 2304 (c) (l)). The GPSW MAGR 2000 Program is performing a market survey to determine if there are interested and qualified firms having the capability to provide technical services as described above on the equipment described below.
