Description The Supply Chain Management Squadron in support of multiple range threat systems is considering repair services to multiple motorized zoom lens cameras. When in use, the cameras contain a motorized zoom lens that allows each weapon system to track fighter aircraft. The repair(s) shall meet or exceed the critical performance requirements mentioned in their corresponding drawings. Background JTE, MTE, MUTES, and UMTE simulate multiple enemy radar systems to train pilots to respond to threats. The cameras used contain a motorized zoom lens that allows each weapon system to track fighter aircraft. The cameras are often in need of repair due to their frequent use. The government does have access to technical drawings for these cameras rated with distribution statement D, which allows for sharing with DOD and DOD contractors only. Businesses must be a valid DoD contractor with an active System for Acquisition Management registration, an approved DoD form 2345 and an active CAGE code. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or a total Small Business Set-Aside. The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 882119, which has a corresponding size standard of 22 million dollars. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The Government is interested in all small businesses to include 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. The government requests that interested parties respond to this notice if applicable and identify your small business status to the identified NAICS code. Responses to this request will be retained in a file and responders will be subsequently provided a copy of the Request for Proposal (RFP) when issued. Responding to this request in no manner guarantees a contract will be awarded to the respondent for the manufacture/supply of this item. All information received in response to this announcement that is marked Proprietary will be handled accordingly. Responses will not be returned. In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), a response to this notice is not an offer and cannot be accepted by the government to form a binding contract. Responders are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this announcement. Delivery Period: Contractors have 30 calendar days from the issuance of this RFI to respond. Late submissions will be accepted but might not be considered in preparing the follow-on requirement. Security Requirements: There are no requirements for classified information in this RFI. Contractors may request copies of the drawings if they are a valid DoD contractor with an active System for Acquisition Management registration, an approved DoD form 2345 and an active CAGE code. Respondents to this Sources Sought should include a rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate of costs to create, deliver and test the test articles and final production units.
