Description

This notice serves as a presolicitation notice/procurement synopsis for the AMRAAM AIM-120 future Lot buys (envisioned for Lots 20-24 (FY06-10)) production/sustainment program and software upgrade (SWUP) development. The Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) Joint Systems Program Office, in preparation for its 20th production run of Air Intercept Missile (AIM)-120 missiles is envisioned to award sole source contract(s) for production/sustainment including Software Upgrade Program (SWUP)/System Improvement Program (SIP) (SWUP/SIP) for the AIM-120 variants. SWUP/SIP includes the design, development, integration, and test improvements for production incorporation into the AIM-120 variants to maintain system effectiveness in future combat environments and Total System Performance Responsibility (TSPR) of the AIM-120 System which must meet the requirements of the AMRAAM Missile Performance Specifications (MPS). TSPR is defined as the contractor?s acceptance of responsibility to do what is necessary and sufficient to deliver, warrant, and support missiles that are affordable, combat capable, and readily available. Any solicitation/award is anticipated to either incorporate a Long Term Pricing Agreement (LTPA) or be discreetly priced for any/all supplies and services necessary for the production/sustainment of the AIM-120 missile. The solicitation/award is expected to include a basic period (Lot 20/FY06), and four option periods (Lot 21/FY07, Lot 22/FY08, Lot 23/FY09, and Lot 24/FY10). Specific production/sustainment requirements, in addition to the underlying TSPR concept, may include, but are not limited to: AIM-120C7 and AIM-120D missiles (USAF/USN/USA/USMC), AIM-120 missile variants authorized for release to Foreign Military Sales (FMS), sustainment (including repair and a Service Life Prediction Program), associated spares, support/support items [i.e., program management/engineering/logistics/test support, support equipment, spares, (FMS) offset administration and associated data. Total missile production is expected to be from a minimum of 300 up to a maximum of 900 missiles per year. Deliveries: Lot 20/FY06 begins Oct 07 at a rate of approximately 25 missiles per month; Lots 21/FY07, 22/FY08, 23/FY09, and 24/FY10 at rates of approximately 40 per month. Sustainment requirements are anticipated to include a 1 lot repair capability for each missile lot buy, that covers non-warranted missile and support item repair for each 12 month period. Inasmuch as Raytheon Company, the current producer and sustainment provider of the AIM-120 missiles is in current production, the JSPO will not be able to provide government property/government special tooling/special test equipment/technical data package to any prospective new source. Therefore the fulfillment of the supplies/services listed above requires substantial initial investment and an extended period of preparation for manufacture. Anticipated date of letter of solicitation for Lots 20 ? 24 production and sustainment is on or about Feb 05; date of closing response is on or about Mar 05. This acquisition is contemplated sole source under authority of FAR 6.203-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements (10 USC 2304(c)(1)) to Raytheon Company, 1151 E Hermans Rd. P.O. Box 11337, Tucson, AZ 85734-1337. Should your firm desire subcontracting opportunities, contact Mr. Tom Gillman (Raytheon Co.) at the above address or phone (520) 794-9794. The date for response to this synopsis for the AIM-120 PRODUCTION/ SUSTAINMENT PROGRAM is fifteen (15) days after the date of this synopsis publication.
