- Description
- The E8 Joint STARS Systems Group of the Electronic Systems Center is anticipating release of a sole-source solicitation to Northrop Grumman Corporation for the acquisition of a follow-on Joint STARS System Improvement Program (JSSIP) contract. The current JSSIP contract (F19628-99-D-0001) was awarded in 1999 sole-source to Northrop Grumman Corporation and was in effect until March of 2005. The anticipated follow-on JSSIP contract is anticipated to be a five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract that will be in effect from approximately September 2005 until September 2010. The estimated maximum value of the follow-on contract will be approximately $532 M over the five-year ordering period. The planned contract will include provisions for technical upgrades of the Joint STARS, including systems engineering, design, development, manufacture, installation, test and demonstrations, production and retrofit, engineering change proposals, documentation, Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTO), logistics support and sustainment, simulations of solutions, initial operator training, warranties, and any other improvement type efforts. In addition, the contract will include Engineering Service Tasks (ESTs) for analyses, studies, systems engineering, planning, prototyping, qualification/test, training, and flight-test infrastructure for proposed upgrades and improvements. In addition, the upgrade of Joint STARS Trainers, Simulators and Virtual Training Networks is contemplated for added subsystems. Based on the history of the E-8 program, the Electronic Systems Center intends to issue a Request for Proposal only to Northrop Grumman. The statutory authority to do so is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) which states the following: "When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, or, from DOD, NASA and the Coast Guard, from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other supplies or services will satisfy the requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for.?
