Sources Sought (Request for Interested Manufacturers) FROM: Anthony Brzezicki AFLCM/WWQIA TO: DLA Aviation Procurement Operations at Warner Robins (SPRWA1) LOCATION: Robins AFB, GA 31098-1813 FBO Post Title: Request for Interested Manufacturers 5998-01-648-7143 Part Number 40204-7 Circuit Card Assembly and 5998-01-648-7145 Part Number 40210-7 Circuit Card Assembly. SUBJECT: Market research is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of the F-15 SA Aircraft for the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) within purchase request number FD2060-18-34634. ITEM DESCRIPTION NSN 5998-01-648-7143 The government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification to deliver the Circuit Card Assembly , National Stock Number (NSN): 5998-01-648-7143, PN 40204-7. The Government does not own or have access to the engineering data for these items. FUNCTION: The Converter-Programmer (C-P) is a special purpose, 16 bit parallel, programmable microcomputer system based on a Z8002 central processing unit (CPU). The C-P is responsible for controlling virtually all phases of weapon inventory, release, and jettison operations in response to operator commands and/or Digital Computer (referred to as a central computer (CC)) instructions. C-P hardware operations are controlled by two software data bases: a test data base, called the Seller Verification Test Program (SVTP), and an operational data base, called the operational Flight Program (OFP). The SVTP is used in conjunction with test equipment only and verifies the total hardware performance of the C-P. The OFP requires that the C-P be connected to the aircraft's CC and is used to accomplish weapon monitor/management and armament accomplish weapon monitor/management and armament. Although separate programs, the modular design of both the OFP and the SVTP enable common functions to be shared. Each data base is loaded into the C-P via connector J1. Only one data base is resident in the C-P at any time.
