The test stand shall be an already developed, state-of-the-art, market proven, commercial test stand with a proven reliability track record. The PPD required the contractor to furnish a current and complete test stand of modular design and listed major modules or assemblies that offerors should include on the test stands they proposed. Section 3 of the RFP's Performance Purchase Description (PPD) established minimum essential criteria for the proposed test stand to be considered acceptable. On December 30, the Air Force issued amendment 1, which converted the draft RFP into a final RFP, and established Januas the deadline for receipt of proposals, which later was extended to January 30 by amendment 2. The solicited test stand is to be used to field test multi-aircraft integrated drive generators (IDG), constant speed drives (CSD), and their associated generators (GEN).
