This is NOT a presolicitation notice pursuant to FAR Part 5, but is a MARKET SURVEY to identify sources for the delivery of a fully developed, fully tested non-development item (NDI) or commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Electronic Warfare Cockpit Control (EWCC) System for the F-16C/D, A-10A, and O-10A Aircraft. The combat needs statement will require delivery of the initial 32 systems to begin on or before 31 Mar 97. There is also potential for delivery of 725 systems over the next five years. The purpose of the EWCC System is to provide displays, controls, and cues to manage the Electronic Warfare Avionics of the various aircraft. The system will control existing and future EW avionics through a reduced number of cockpit units. The EWCC's major role is the management of the flow of control signals and data into and out of the EW avionics suites comprised of the following systems: ALE-40, ALE-47, AAR-47, ALR-69(V), ALR-56M, ALQ-131(V), ALQ-184(V) Pylon Integrated Dispenser System (PIDS), and Modular Reconnaissance Pod (MRP). Future avionics for additional suites will include the ALQ-157, ALQ-162, and ALQ-172. EWCC will be supported under a two-level maintenance concept ultilizing ``lean logistics''. The EWCC systems functions will be administered through computer software configuration items (CSCI). The CSCIs shall utilize military use software guidelines and written in Ada and other commercially available languages. A formal solicitation does not exist at this time. This survey is to determine the availability of commercial items pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10 and does not constitute an Invitation for Bid or Request for Proposal and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. Respondents to this notice will be sent a DRAFT Requirements Specification for the EWCC system and a Contractor Product/Capability Survey.
