Repair Fully Integrated Data Link

Sources Sought The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the repair data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements to repair the Fully Integrated Data Link (FIDL). The FDL is a data link system which automatically retasks the weapons system. The level of security clearance and amount of foreign participation in this requirement has not been determined. The current RMC is 3R which means repair for the second or subsequent time directly from the manufacturer. The Government does not own the data or the rights to contract repair of the part from additional sources. Suitable technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge is not available to permit repair by other sources. No technical publications or documents are available for use in responding to the Request for Information. The Government does not own or have access to the data for these items. The Government has determined that this system is a non-commercial item. The contractor shall furnish all material, support equipment, tools, test equipment, and services. The contractor is responsible for providing, maintaining, and calibrating all support equipment required at their facility or a subcontractor's facility. Contractor furnished material or parts used for replacement shall equal or exceed the quality of the original material or parts. Samples are not available for evaluation to respond to this Request for Information. This effort is expected to be sole source to Calculex Incorporated. Contractors/Institutions responding to this market research are placed on notice that participation in this survey may not ensure participation in future solicitations or contract awards. The government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation in this survey. INSTRUCTIONS: 1.
