- Description
- Sources Sought (Request for Interested Manufacturers) FROM: (Christina Martin/408 SCMS/GUEA TO: DLA Aviation Procurement Operations at Warner Robins (SPRWA1) LOCATION: Robins AFB, GA 31098-1813 FBO Post Title: Request for Interested Manufacturers of NSN 5865-01-424-6013EW for the ALQ-172 Countermeasure System. SUBJECT: Market research is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of theALQ-172 LRU-10, NSN 5865-01-424-6013EW. ITEM DESCRIPTION The LRU-10 is a common core Processor/Controller in the ALQ-172(V). It provides a portion of the ALQ-172's radar threat detection and electromagnetic countermeasure (ECM) response capabilities. The MARS LRU-10 is a Form, Fit, and Function (FFF) replacement for the legacy LRU-10. The hardware for this new LRU-10 has been designed and prototyped and this effort is to buy the redesigned LRU-10. Impediment to Competition: Harris Corporation (CAGE: 28527) is the original designer and developer of the AN/ALQ-172 Countermeasures System and there is less risk in cost and scheduling by going to them. They did the redesign for the LRU and is currently the only qualified source. It would take time for another vendor to become familiar with the ALQ-172 system before the vendor could begin development. As a result Harris Corporation is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the LRU-10 performance requirements and possession of the required technical data and capabilities needed to produce this item and ensure compatibility of the equipment. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to Harris for the manufacture of the LRU-10s in support of the ALQ-172 system. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 17 July 2017 to to Patti Campbell at patti.campbell@us.af.mil and/or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil. The Government intends to procure these items using Other Than Full and Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
