NAVAIR Lakehurst intends to procure via sole source from RACAL
instruments Inc. a prototype Shaft Engine Test Instrumentation (SETI)
System with Turboshaft Engine Test Program Sets (TPS's) for the T700,
T58, T64, and T400 engines and their variants. The SETI will be designed
to use Test Trailers, Lubrication skids, Fuel Systems, and Dynamometers
from the existing A/E 37 T-24(v) and A/F37T-16(v) Turboshaft Engine Test
Systems. The SETI TPSs will require the development of four sets of test
program software and engine adapter assemblies (EAA): one for each
engine to include each of its variants. The SETI TPS's will also include
all new components that will be described in the system specification
issued with the Request for Proposal (RP) as well as modifications to
existing adapter cable designs to allow for interface with the Jet Engine
Test Instrumentation (JETI) system's Electrical/Mechanical Junction
Boxes. JETI is a consolidation of technology from two engine test system
programs: the USAF Engine Test/Trim Automated System (ETTAS II a COTS
item from RACAL Industries) and the USN Standard Engine Test System
(SETS). The Navy intends to design the SETI to be at least 90% the same
as the JETI system. The applicable JETI drawings and specifications will
not be complete or available until the second quarter of FY02, which
requires the Navy to make this a limited source procurement. The drawings
and specifications that will be provided as deliverables under this
prototype effort will be used to conduct a full and open competition for
the production contract. The applicable JETI drawings and specifications
will not be complete or available until the second quarter of FY02, which
requires the Navy to make the prototype contract a limited source
procurement. The drawings and specifications that will be provided as
deliverables under this prototype effort will be used to conduct a full
and open competition for the production requirements in FY04. The
production RP will include a basic contract for 6 units with option(s)
for up to 27 additional SETI's, a quantities of five (5) T400 EAA's, (12)
T58 EAA's, (10) T64 EAA's, and (12) T700 EAA's. This action is being
taken to limit the design and development portion of this effort and
maximize the interchangeability of the components of the two systems to
optimize cost savings in design and development engineering costs, test
and evaluation, and life cycle support infrastructure. SETI will provide
an integrated, computer based measurement, and automation system for the
purpose of "I" Level testing of aircraft gas turbine engines in either
indoor or outdoor environments. The system capabilities will include
instrumentation, data acquisition, engine and facility control, and
status display. The system will be operated worldwide at U.S. Navy and
Marine Corps air stations. The system will generally be installed in a
transportable instrumentation and control (I&C) cab in order to withstand
extremes of temperature and humidity, as well as contamination by dust,
sand, salt fog and corrosive precipitation. Those, which are not, will be
installed in a land-based enclosed engine test facility. The SETI system
will perform all required data acquisition and performance calculations
defined in each engine's and its individual variants' Intermediate
Maintenance Manual, (IMM). The basic system will consist of necessary
hardware and software to acquire raw analog engine data, perform signal
conditioning and time averaging, perform specific engine performance
calculations, and output the data results to a video display, printer and
magnetic media. The hardware elements will include programming harness
boxes, electrical and mechanical junction boxes and cable assemblies to
interface the computerized instrumentation, data acquisition and control
systems with the engine, fuel system, lube system and facility. It shall
also have capability to perform diagnostics/troubleshooting on the engine
under test and determine engine stability to enable the system to
automatically record data at engine stabilization. The SETI will display
all pertinent parameters for the engine under test, their target values,
and operator instructions in accordance with the IMM. Control of engine
and dynamometer operation, as well as facility functions, which will also
be part of the total system capability. The result will be a system that
integrates the computer-based functions of the JETI system with upgrades
that meet the requirements for turboshaft engine testing, as specified in
the SETI RP. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive
proposals. However, the Government will consider all responses received
within fifteen days after the date of publication of this synopsis. A
determination by the Government not to open this requirement to
competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the
discretion of the Government. Information received as a result of this
notice of intent will normally be considered solely for the purpose of
determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The POC is Ms.
