- Description
- United States Air Forces Europe (USAFE) is contemplating a modification to contract F08626-98-C0029, USAFE Rangeless Interim System (URITS). The purpose of the modification is to extend the period of performance of the current contract by 5 years to end 30 September 2012. This contract action is contemplated to be sole source based on the fact that URITS was specifically developed for USAFE and contains proprietary hardware and software. This contract provides for operations and maintenance and contractor logistical support services on 110 leased aircraft mounted pods that supports the USAFE pilot training program. URITS is a derivative of the Range Applications Program system called the Metrics Autonomous ACTS and was developed and built by Metric Systems Corporation now named DRS Training & Control Systems, Inc., 645 Anchor Street, Fort Walton Beach, Florida 32548. Pods are owned assets of DRS and leased by USAFE. All Pods used require full compatibility with the existing URITS, including hardware and software interfaces such as the Data Transfer Devices (DTDs) and Datalink capability. Additionally, pods shall have system Certification and Accreditation mandated by the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force. The primary purpose of this action is to provide small business access to acquisition information and enhance competition by identifying contracting and subcontracting activities.
