ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT OBLIGATED TO AND WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY INFORMATION RECEIVED AS A RESULT OF THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE. INTRODUCTION This Sources Sought notice is being posted to satisfy the requirement of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement PGI 206.103-170. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), PMA-265 EW Division is conducting market research to identify potential sources with the expertise, capabilities, and experience for non-recurring engineering for an improved and/or more producible technologically advanced design of the light off detector (LOD) for use on the F414 engine, (PN 5107T13P03 / NSN 2840-01-443-4202). The purpose of this effort is to develop, design, and validate technology improvements to mitigate obsolescence concerns and improve producibility. The design of the LOD is proprietary to Meggitt Defense Systems, Inc. (MDSI); the LOD is mounted within the engine augmenter (afterburner) section of the F414-GE-400 engine. Phase II of this program will initially mature two solutions identified in Phase I from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4 to TRL 5. Following a down-selection process, a single chosen technology will then be matured to TRL 6 via prototype testing. The contractor will perform research and development of the producibility and manufacturing of the current design of the LOD solid-state flame sensing technology, remote electronics package in support of the United States Navy (USN) F414-GE-400 engines. THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. The results of this Sources Sought will be utilized to determine if the required product exists in the marketplace and if any Small Business Set-Aside opportunities exist. All Small Business Set-Aside categories will be considered. A site visit is required to determine a suitable source. Eligibility The Product Service Code (PSC) for this requirement is AC13. The NAICS code is 541715. REQUIRED CAPABILITIES Supplies and/or services to be procured under this potential effort may include, but are not limited to: Engineering Design and Development: Developing, designing, and validating technology improvements to mitigate obsolescence and improve producibility. Research and Trade Studies: Evaluating materials, sensor performance, and electronic components suited for high-temperature afterburner environments. Technical Data: Generation and delivery of engineering drawings, test reports, and validation data. SUBMISSION DETAILS Interested business shall submit a brief capabilities statement package (no more than ten 8.5 x 11 inch pages, font no smaller than 12 point, 1.5 spaced) demonstrating their ability to provide the supplies or services listed in the required capabilities described herein. Documentation should be in bullet format. All responses shall include Company Name, Company Address, Company Business Size, and Points-of-Contact (POC) including name, phone number, fax number and email address.
