The AFNWC intends to issue a sole-source contract under the authority of 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(1) as implemented by RFO 6.103-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements to the following contractor: L3Harris Technologies, Inc., 1025 W. NASA Boulevard Melbourne, FL 32919 Provided below are the applicable content items for a Presolicitation Notice as required by RFO 5.101(c), which should allow viewers of this notice to determine their capabilities with regard to the requirement. Also provided below are submission requirements for Statements of Capabilities (SOC) should an interested party believe, they can meet the requirement. � Contracting Officer Contact Information: Amanda M. Perea 1551 Wyoming Blvd Kirtland AFB, NM 87117 amanda.perea@us.af.mil � The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, Nuclear Systems Integration Division (AFNWC/NDS) requires PCM330E Programmable Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) Encoders in the B61-12 Tail Kit Assembly�s (TKAs) Telemetry Instrumentation Kit (TIK) configuration. The manufacturer is L3Harris Technologies, Telemetry & RF Products. The manufacturer part number is LCP-755-005396-023. The PCM330E is a compact, modular, programmable PCM encoder and data-acquisition unit designed for airborne telemetry applications. It must occupy the existing TKA TIK volume and interface without modification. This configuration provides the analog, serial, guidance-system, and encryption interfaces already designed into the B61-12 TKA TIK. LCP-755-005396-023 is the only encoder that is form, fit, and function qualified for the current B61-12 TKA TIK architecture and is the exact model used in existing TIKs. This is a one-time buy of a highly specialized, configuration-controlled telemetry encoder. The item is subject to COMSEC controls and must be procured in the exact B61-12 qualified configuration. � NAICS-334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) ; PSC-5821 (Radio and Television Communication Equipment, Airborne) � All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency.

Contractors are cautioned that implementing engineering changes, waivers, deviations or technical inquiries into the contract/purchase order without approval of the Contracting Officer will be at the sole risk of the Contractor. 3.7 Mercury Free - The material supplied under this contract/purchase order is intended for use on submarines/surface ships and therefore shall contain no metallic mercury and shall be free from mercury contamination. Mercury contamination of the material will be cause for rejection. If the inclusion of metallic mercury is required as a functional part of the material furnished under this contract, the Contractor shall obtain written approval from the Procurement Contracting Officer before proceeding with manufacture. The contractor's request shall explain in detail the requirements for mercury, identify specifically the parts to contain mercury, and explain the method of protection against mercury escape. Such a request will be forwarded directly to the Procurement Contracting Officer with a copy to the applicable Government Inspector. Upon approval by the Contracting Officer, the vendor will provide a "Warning Plate" stating that metallic mercury is a functional part of the item and will include name and location of that part. The use of mercury, mercury compounds, or mercury-bearing instruments and/or equipment in a manner which might cause contamination in the manufacture, assembly, or test of material on this contract is prohibited. The most probable causes of contamination are direct-connected manometers, mercury vacuum pumps, mercury seals, or the handling of mercury in the immediate vicinity. Mercury switches, mercury in glass thermometers, standard cells and other items containing mercury may be used if they are located so as not to constitute a contamination hazard. If external contamination by metallic mercury occurs or is suspected, the following test may be used to determine whether contamination by metallic mercury exists or whether corrective cleaning measures have been effective. Enclose the equipment in a polyethylene bag or close-fitting airtight container for eight hours at room temperature (70 degrees F minimum).Sample the trapped air and if mercury vapor concentration is 0.01 mg/cu meter or more, the material is mercury contaminated insofar as the requirements of this contract are concerned. These requirements shall be included in any subcontract or purchase order hereunder and the Contractor shall insure SubContractor compliance with these requirements. Technical questions pertaining to these requirements shall be referred to the Procurement Contracting Officer via the cognizant Administrative Contracting Officer. For background, the following information is provided: Mercury is corrosive to gold, silver, nickel, stainless steels, aluminum and copper alloys. Stainless steels, nickel, and copper alloys are widely used in reactor plants and other submarine/surface ship systems. Accidental trapping of mercury in a component could cause serious damage to vital parts. Mercury is also toxic if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin. It is evident that grave consequences could result from small amounts of mercury vapor present in an unreplenished submarine/surface ship atmosphere. 4. QUALITY ASSURANCE 4.1 Responsibility for Inspection - Unless otherwise specified in the contract/purchase order, the Contractor is responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract/purchase order, the Contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government.
