No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any follow-up information requests. 2. Establish a new engineering services contract to ensure AGM-86B Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) Inertial Navigation Element (INE) reliability and sustainment planning through 2040 which includes engineering services, remanufacture, prototype and associated studies. These studies may include aging analyses and reutilization of compatible DoD weapon system circuit cards and components. Duration of Contract Period: One (1) Year Basic with Three One (1) Year Options 3. This market research is to further define industry capabilities to develop and execute a comprehensive plan to ensure AGM-86B Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) Inertial Navigation Element (INE), NSN 1420-01-130-6793, reliability and sustainment through 2040 to existing ALCM INE performance and reliability requirements. Interested respondents must address their capability to meet: a. Near-term supportability to include potential use of compatible DoD weapon system circuit cards and components. b. Long-term sustainment and reliability, which may include approaches such as use of existing INE parts, circuit card remanufacture, use of compatible DoD weapon system circuit cards and components, and/or technology insertion at the circuit card level. Unchanged components should include appropriate aging analyses to substantiate recommendation. Inertial navigation solution cannot be GPS-aided and must satisfy ALCM INE specification and ALCM integration requirements. ""NOTE"": "Redesign at the box-level will not be considered." 4. Capabilities should address planning to represent best value to the Government and support ALCM INE current availability/supportability through 2040 with a production capability of no later than end of CY2021 for the planned solution. Describe capabilities and experience in the acquisition process to include phases/milestones/timelines and associated technical reviews and qualification/acceptance test strategy. 5. The Government desires adherence to form, fit, and function of the current INE configuration to the greatest extent possible to minimize impact to nuclear certification and qualification testing as well as minimize impact to interfaces with existing support systems and equipment. 6. If a company believes it is capable of meeting the Government's requirement/perform the contract services/goods, the company may identify their interest and capability to the Contracting Officer by the closing date of this notice. Those interested companies must indicate whether they are a large, small, and small disadvantaged, 8(a) or women owned business and whether they are U.S. or foreign owned. 7. Companies interested in responding shall submit a capability statement to include the following information and/or documentation that demonstrates technical capability in the 6 areas listed below.

Include in your companies description/documentation for each area below whether your company has performed as a prime or as a subcontractor; and identify if personnel have at least three years of recent experience. a. (CRITICAL) Describe your experiences working with the AGM-86B ALCM inertial guidance system or other major ALCM subsystems. b. (CRITICAL) Describe your past hardware design, modification and test activities devoted to supporting the sustainment of the non-GPS aided inertial navigate system for AGM-86B ALCM weapon system or other major ALCM subsystems.. c. (CRITICAL) Describe relevant technical data in your possession that supports engineering service activities for INE and AGM-86B ALCM inertial navigation system as previously designed, implemented, and supported by the OEM or other major ALCM subsystems. If all needed technical data is not in your possession, demonstrate capability/plan to obtain it. d. (CRITICAL) Describe your experiences with management and execution of system modifications, maintenance and sustainment action to the INE and AGM-86B ALCM weapon system/subsystems with emphasis on nuclear certification requirements and nuclear hardness qualification requirements. e. (CRITICAL) Describe your breadth and depth of sustaining engineering knowledge of the AGM-86B ALCM Inertial Navigation Element or other major ALCM subsystems.
