*100% Small Business Set-Aside Award*

The C-17 Program Management Office has a requirement that is for a firm-fixed price contract for two (1) each NSN: 4920-01-299-3556, ADAPTER, CABLE BREAKOUT, P/N 17G410523-1, which includes one (1) First Article, one (1) First Article Test Plan, and one (1) First Article Test Report. The C-17 aircraft has a number of electrical and electro-mechanical devices. These devices are required to be tested at the organizational and intermediate levels of maintenance. The organizational level, these devices are to be fault isolated by “breaking into” the electrical connectors of the device and providing a means to access the individual electrical conductors. Test instrumentation may now be attached to the circuit to monitor voltage and current levels as well as other parameters such as impedance and data trans-mission. In addition, requirements exist to disconnect the aircraft interface cables from the LRU and measure the voltages and continuity at the cables as a means of fault isolation. Provisions must be made to prevent damage to the pins of the connector and eliminate the possibility of creating a spark near the aircraft while measurements are being made. A means must be provided to functionally test these LRU in the shop to determine if an item is operating within specified limits and is fit to be used on the aircraft. Also means to fault isolate to the shop replaceable units (SRU) is to be provided. To achieve this, the input and output lines wil be connected to power sources and loads which will simulate those seen on the aircraft. An interface will be necessary between the device under test and the various pieces of test instrumentation. Delivery is FOB Destination with shipments in the continental United States. This requirement will be solicited as a competitive 100% Small Business-Set-Aside award. All responsible sources may submit a quotation which shall be considered by the agency.
