- 1. NOTICE: This is not a solicitation but rather a Sources Sought Synopsis to determine potential sources for information and planning purposes only. 1.1 The purpose of this Sources Sought is to conduct market research to determine if responsible sources exist, and to assist in determining if this effort can be competitive and/or a total Small Business Set-Aside. The proposed North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code is 334511 which has a corresponding Size standard 750 employees. The Government is interested in all small businesses to include 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran­ Owned, Hub-zone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. The government requests that interested parties respond to this notice and identify your small business status to the identified NAICS code if applicable. Additionally, please provide any anticipated teaming arrangements, along with a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers within the past three years. Any responses involving teaming agreements should delineate between the work that will be accomplished by the prime and the work that will be accomplished by the teaming partners. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. 2. Program Details: 2.1 The following information is provided to identify potential contractors who have the skills, experience, and knowledge required to successfully provide the described capability. AFLCMC/WWMPA F-16 Integration Section, Hill AFB, UT intends to award a contract to upgrade the existing F-16 Block 25/30/32 GPS Antenna Electronics (AE) unit to allow anti-jamming and anti-spoofing functions. The intent is to provide these capabilities without a change to the EGI electronics/OFP. The EGI is a Honeywell H764G with a Rockwell Collins GEM6D GPS card. This capability is also required with no aircraft software changes. This functionality is also required with no aircraft wiring (Group A) change. Digital communication between the AE unit and GPS card is required to be maintained through the existing F-16 block 30 wiring. This action is being conducted to identify potential sources capable of meeting the requirements for the following: a. The GPS AE unit is required to be a form and fit replacement to the existing GPS AE GAS-1 or AE-1 unit. b. To avoid new integration requirements, all AE proposals will need to match existing hardware/software interface to the GEM6D in the F-16 Block 30 Honeywell H764G EGI. c. Desired timeframe for hardware availability to allow participation in virtual ground testing at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and annual jamming environment flight testing at the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) is no-later-than 15 Aug 13. d. A solution that will achieve the highest level of anti-jamming capability possible is required. e. Target non-recurring engineering costs will be $0. Approximate total buy for F-16 block 30 aircraft is 320 items. 3. When responding please include: a. Company Name and Cage code. b. Who your POC is? Please provide an email address and phone number. c. NAICS Code. d. Business size classification for NAICS and qualifications if any and any sub-category. e. Would you be a prime or subcontractor? f. Your lead time for the task performance. g. What is your familiarity with the existing F-16 block 30 Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System (EGI) or similar systems? Please describe. h. How do you intend to meet the requirements in 2.1 a - e above?
