The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Aircraft Support Contracts Department (AIR-2.5.1.14), Patuxent River, MD is seeking information regarding potential sources of expertise in logistics management support services in support of the Naval Air Traffic Management Systems Program Office (PMA 213). The program office fulfills the Navy function of providing centralized full life cycle management of ship and shore based United States Navy, and United States Marine Corps air traffic control, precision approach and landing, expeditionary, and selected combat identification systems. These core systems enable situational awareness and tracking capabilities that support every phase of flight operations, including launch, mission area management and recovery. Currently, there are more than 70 different systems in place that require some degree of contractor logistics support. Systems are stood up or disestablished every year, which has a direct (and largely unpredictable) impact on the amount of contractor support required. Additional performance uncertainties exist due to the unpredictable diversity and depth of program requirements, which includes derivative models that perform ancillary functions such as research, development, test & evaluation, multi-mission and surveillance requirements in support of core Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) functions. The requirement is for logistics management support services to support the mission of the Naval Air Traffic Management Systems Program Office (PMA 213) within the Program Executive Officer, Tactical Aircraft (PEO-T) component of the Naval Air Systems Command. The contractor shall provide logistics management services in support of PMA 213 program execution to include development, acquisition, deployment, life-cycle sustainment support and demilitarization and disposal of systems.
