- General Information: Document Type: Pre-Solicitation Notice Action Code: P Solicitation Number: FA8723-18-R-0005 Posted Date: 20 July 2018 Classification Code: 58 - Communication, detection, & coherent radiation equipment Set-Aside: None. Full and Open Competition NAICS Code: 334511 - Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing PSC: 5840 - Radar Equipment Except Airborne Contracting Office Address: Department of the Air Force, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Strategic Warning and Surveillance Systems Division, 1050 E. Stewart Ave, Bldg. 2025, Peterson AFB, 80914 Description: The Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS) and PAVE Phased Array Warning System (PAWS)(BPP) radar and optical systems form the backbone of the ground-based radars (GBR) portion of the Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (ITW/AA) system. The purpose of the Solid State Module - Replacement (SSM-R) program is to address critical radar hardware component obsolescence issues for the BMEWS and PAVE PAWS sites. There are three BMEWS sites. BMEWS Site I is located at Thule Air Base (AB), Greenland. BMEWS Site II is located at Clear AFS, Alaska. BMEWS Site III is located at Royal Air Force (RAF) Fylingdales (FYL), United Kingdom. There are two PAVE PAWS sites. PAVE PAWS West is located at Beale Air Force Base (AFB), California and PAVE PAWS East is located at Cape Cod Air Force Station (AFS), Massachusetts. The SSM-R contract will produce and deliver 148 qualification modules. These modules will be fully qualified by the end of the first delivery order and ready for full production in each of the remaining delivery orders. The total effort will produce up to 40,071 SSM-R units of five types: Array Modules (AM); Sub-array Drivers (SAD); Array Group Drivers (AGD); Sidelobe Blanking (SLB) and Sidelobe Cancellers (SLC). There will be two types of AM produced: (1) -1 for PAVE PAWS West, PAVE PAWS East, BMEWS Site I, and BMEWS Site II; and (2) -3 for BMEWS Site III. This effort will resolve Fylingdales Out-of-Band emission issues and full-face replacement for sensitivity upgrades at all five BPP radar sites. The final SSM-R unit quantities are dependent upon funding levels and future warfighter sensitivity requirements. These SSM-R units will replace depleted legacy SSMs with a lifetime buy ensuring continued and uninterrupted Missile Warning, Missile Defense, and Space Surveillance mission accomplishment. The initial ordering period will be five years from award, with an optional 2-year ordering period. Multiple awards are not anticipated. It is the intent of the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC)/AFLCMC/SW&SS Division to enter into a single award Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (SAID/IQ) contract for the acquisition of modules with Firm-Fixed Price and Cost Reimbursement contract types with an estimated ceiling value of $600 million.
