ITEM DESCRIPTION The AN/ALQ-213 Electronic Countermeasures System integrates radar warning, jamming, and countermeasure dispensing systems into a single integrated Electronic Warfare (EW) suite. The system provides threat processing, selection of the optimum threat response techniques (jamming and dispensing of expendable countermeasures) in manual, semiautomatic, and automatic modes. The Electronic Warfare and Avionics Program Office (AFLCMC/WNY) has a requirement to integrate the AN/ALQ-213 ECMS on F-16 aircraft, as well as support future Foreign Military Sales purchases. The above tabled items comprise the AN/ALQ-213 ECMS. Impediment to Competition: The original equipment manufacturer for the AN/ALQ-213 ECMS is Terma A/S (CAGE R0567), which maintains its configuration by part number and software version. The Government has special purpose license rights enabling Organic modification of the current software source code for Government purposes and Level II drawings for the CMSC, CMSP, (-205), EEECP, and APU kit. The Government, however, does not own any data, drawings, schematics, or any other releasable technical data in support of this requirement. As a result, Terma A/S is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the ECMS's performance requirements and possession of the required technical data and capabilities needed to produce, engineer, and repair these items and ensure compatibility of the equipment. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to Terma North America for the manufacture, engineer, and repair the items listed above in support of the Government's requirements. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 14 June 2018 by emailing David Schnider at David.Schnider.1@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.
