15108 DCSA Sources Sought Synopsis   3

Background
The Government requires manufacturing support to produce Digital Computer System Assembly (DCSA) enclosures. These fabricated parts will serve as the physical outer shell for an updated prototype of the Common Munition Bit Reprogramming Equipment (CMBRE) system.

The agency conducting this market research is AFSC/OL:H/PZIEB, and they are seeking potential sources that possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet these requirements.

Work Details
The contract involves the manufacturing of the following items, all of which must be AS9100 Aerospace Certified:
1. Wire passthrough cover - Part Number: 201754322-37, Quantity: 5 Each
2. Enclosure weldment - Part Number: 201754322-40, Quantity: 5 Each
3. BIOS battery bracket - Part Number: 201754322-47, Quantity: 5 Each
4. Display wire clam shell - Part Number: 201754323-31, Quantity: 5 Each
5. Enclosure lid weldment - Part Number: 201754323-40, Quantity: 5 Each

The total acquisition schedule for these items is approximately 11 weeks after receipt of order (ARO).

Place of Performance
The geographic location for performance or delivery is not explicitly stated in the solicitation.

Bidder Requirements
Bidders must provide a capability statement that includes their company profile (Company Name, CAGE Code, UEI), business size and socio-economic status. They must also demonstrate technical capability by describing their ability to execute the requirements outlined in the background and provide examples of similar work performed within the last year.

Additionally, bidders should confirm if requested services/items are available on existing commercial catalogs or government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs) and indicate familiarity with Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) for payment.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
This opportunity for manufacturing AS9100-certified DCSA enclosure components appears to have a confirmed incumbent and/or closely related prior contract under the CMBRE program, with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation awarded FA853321D0001 (10/30/20–10/29/25) valued at $59,618,795 and subsequent related CMBRE CLS/production contract actions. The prior work includes sheet metal/weldment-type fabrication and manufacturing of CMBRE system components and parts used in the equipment’s physical assemblies, which aligns with the current requirement to produce enclosure weldments and related fabricated enclosure subcomponents for an updated CMBRE prototype.
