- Description
- WR-ALC/GRWKB anticipates issuing a solicitation for the Electronic Attack (EA) Pod Upgrade Program (PUP). Following is a brief description of the effort: This effort is to design and produce upgrades to either the ALQ-131(V) or ALQ-184(V) to increase capability against legacy, upgraded and modern threat systems. The upgraded EA pod configuration shall meet the performance requirements for Increment 1 of the Electronic Attack Pod Upgrade Performance Specification (GRWA-SPEC11-001) and will require the incorporation of receiver signal trackers and Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM). The upgraded EA pod configuration shall be based on the incorporation of Critical Technology Elements (those technology elements which are new to the EA pod and are needed to meet the system's operational requirements) that have been previously demonstrated in a relevant environment. The objective of this effort is to design, fabricate, integrate, install, document, and test the modification into an upgraded ALQ-131(V) or ALQ-184(V) system prior to full scale production. This modification will entail the design and documentation of the upgraded pod hardware (H/W) and software (S/W), the qualification and design verification testing of the hardware and software, performance of a pod reliability growth program, identification of changes to existing ALQ-131/ALQ-184 required Organizational (O-), Intermediate (I-), and Depot (D-) level Support Equipment (SE) changes, design and test of SE modification kits, revision of SE documentation, and revision and publication of pod and SE technical order changes. During the Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) portion of this effort the contractor shall build, modify and deliver four (4) prototype upgraded pods and two (2) modified sets of SE (to include any new SE hardware required) for use in development and testing. As an option during the basic contracting period on this effort, the contractor shall produce up to forty two (42) Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) EA upgraded pods, up to eight (8) LRIP EA SE kits, and up to four (4) Spare Kits to be used during developmental/operational testing. This acquisition will also include 5 annual options with a quantity range of 1-90 each for the EA Pods, 1-12 each for the EA SE Kits, and 1-12 each for the Spare Kits. The EMD portion of this contract will be Fixed Price Incentive Firm (FPIF) and the Production and Options will be Firm Fixed Price (FFP). The acquisition will not be set aside for small businesses. The approximate issue date will be 9 March 2011 with an approximate response date of 8 April 2011. The Government anticipates a full and open competition using FAR 15 Contract by Negotiation as the basis. The Government anticipates a source selection using the Tradeoff process by FAR 15.101-1 to gain the best value. ALL questions regarding this synopsis must be submitted in writing via email to the Contract Specialist, Charles.Massey.1@robins.af.mil with a copy to the Contracting Officer, Jason Grizzard at Jason.Grizzard@robins.af.mil No other Government official other than the above Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer shall be contacted with information regarding this synopsis and anticipated effort. Only contractors with valid security clearance will be able to view the PWS and Performance Specification. Contractors without valid security clearance will not be able to access the information. To access export control documents: Three things. 1. Registered at CCR http://www.ccr.gov/Default.aspx 2. Registered at JCP and approved to view export control https://www.dlis.dla.mil/jcp/Default.aspx 3. Registered at FBO https://www.fbo.gov/ All using the same CAGE code. To access the classified documents, the following must be accomplished: 1. The contractor's facility and reviewing personnel must have a valid security clearance level. 2. Send request to Primary or Secondary Point of Contact listed below. 3. Request should include name, address, CAGE code from requesting office, and phone number. 4. Upon receipt of all information, security clearance will be verified for the facility and personnel. 5. Upon clearance level verification, Performance Specification will be delivered via mail or electronically via SIPRNET or via CD-ROM. 6. Upon receipt of material, potential contractors will have a specified amount of time to review and then return or destroy documents. Proof of destruction will be required following NIPSOM 5-703. Personnel clearance to support classified work must be at a level commensurate with the requirements - Contractor personnel will require DoD security clearances at least at the SECRET level for key personnel. Handling of material up to a SECRET is required. SECRET Facility Clearance is required. Classified information system processing approval to operate (ATO) up to at least SECRET level is required. Storage Clearances of at least the SECRET level are required. US Citizenship is required. Contractors must follow the anticipated DD254. FAR 4.402 gives guidance on requirements for classified information. Clause 52.204-2 applies to information access on "Secret" information. All unclassified/non-sensitive questions and answers will be uploaded to www.fedbizopps.gov. However, the identity of the potential offeror will not be included. Offerors are encouraged to register to receive notification for any further information regarding this effort and to check FEDBIZOPPS site regularly.
