REQUEST FOR WHITE PAPERS: HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPRESSOR SYSTEM

The Air Force Test Center’s Installation Contracting Division (AFTC/PZI) at Arnold Air Force Base (AFB) is seeking White Papers from interested parties capable of meeting the Government’s requirement for an Analysis of Alternatives and the design, manufacture, and testing of a Prototype High-Performance Compressor System. This effort is issued under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 4022 for Other Transaction Prototype (OTP) agreements.

The primary goal of this RWP is to identify potential solutions and innovative approaches to meet the technical objectives detailed in the attached Statement of Objectives (SOO), Attachment 1. The focus of the white paper should be on a comprehensive approach that validates critical design elements and ensures the successful integration and long-term sustainment of the final system. The Government will use the submitted White Papers to assess industry capabilities, refine project requirements, and select vendors for a potential future Request for Prototype Proposal (RPP). See attachment to this posting for full details. 

Note on SOO: The SOO is Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Distribution C, and Export Controlled. To receive a copy, vendors must have a current (no more than three years old from the posting of this request) basic NIST SP 800-171 assessment in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) and be a certified contractor in the Joint Certification Program (JCP). Please contact the Agreements Officer to request the document and verify certification.
