- NOTICE OF CONTRACT ACTION, 26 Jan 07, ASC/XR at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH intends to solicit Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL), Laurel, MD 20723-6099 for an increase in contract ceiling of $5,000,000 to provide continued technical analysis and systems engineering support for the Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) system of systems (SoS) concept development and other Air Force Electronic Warfare (EW) projects, as required. JHU/APL has unique credentials based on their extensive experience in EW analyses, systems engineering support, and independent assessment ability supplied over the years to the Navy EA-6B/EA-18G and the Air Force EF-111 Electronic Attack (EA) platforms and numerous studies and analyses for DoD EW programs. This Notice of Contract Action is published to notify potential subcontractors that the AF anticipates negotiating a contract modification to existing contract FA8626-04-D-2063 on a sole-source basis to JHU/APL in March 2007. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. The Air Force anticipates modifying the existing Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Lab (JHU/APL) IDIQ contract on a CPFF basis with a not to exceed a total $15M ceiling value (i.e. $5,000,000 ceiling increase). An approved system for storing and managing Top Secret material is required under this effort. The Government does not contemplate providing any equipment or data under this contract. It is anticipated that JHU/APL will provide analysis and engineering service support to the AEA SoS. The AEA Capability includes standoff support jamming, recoverable and expendable stand-in support jamming, and mod escort jamming; as well as appropriate network interconnectivity and local electronic warfare battle management between and among the SoS elements for the employment of the AEA capability. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541330 "Engineering Services". The responses to this synopsis will be used to confirm whether this will remain a sole source requirement. This notice is not a Request for Proposals (RFP); it is a market research tool being utilized to determine the availability and adequacy of potential sources prior to awarding this increase in contract ceiling. Any information submitted by respondents to this synopsis is strictly voluntary. The Government will not pay for any information that is submitted by respondents to this notice of proposed contract action Contractors who believe they possess the expertise and experience shall submit technical capabilities in writing to Ms. Noelle Spalding, 646 AESS/PK, 2145 Monahan Way, Bldg 28, WPAFB, OH 45433-7017, or electronically to noelle.spalding@wpafb.af.mil. See Note 22 and 25. Voice communication is received at (937) 255-3507, x3108. Responses must be received no later than COB 26 Feb 07.
