58 -- SOURCES SOUGHT FOR CONTRACTOR SUPPORT FOR AN/APD-13 ADVANCED QUICKLOOK (AQL) DUE 121798 POC Mike Bernicker, Electronics Engineer, (732) 427-5143 E-MAIL: CECOM POC, bernicke@doim6.monouth.army.mil}. This Market Survey is to locate sources for continued Contractor Support for the AN/APD-13 Advanced Quicklook (AQL) system for one year with an option for an additional 9 years. The AQL system is an integral part of the Army's Guardrail/Common Sensor (GR/CS) system. The GR/CS system is a corps level, near real-time intercept, location and exploitation system used with the RC-12 series aircraft. GR/CS is used for communication intelligence (COMINT) and electronic intelligence (ELINT). The AQL system performs the ELINT function of the GR/CS system. It intercepts signals from non-communications emitters, locates the emitters, identifies their characteristics, correlates them with the characteristics and locations of known emitters, and correlates emitter types with known weapon systems. There are currently three fielded GR/CS systems worldwide (Europe, Korea, US) and one currently in development at Sunnyvale, CA. Potential offerors will be required to provide one or more of the following: up to two Field Service Representatives at each of the four GR/CS sites as required by the user; Contractor Depot Support for repair of AQL RF Antennas (NSN 5985-01-260-4573, p/n C5117800-301) and other AQL items as required; manufacture of additional AQL assets as required. We anticipate awarding a fixed price contract with economic price adjustment (FP-EPA) for the FSRs and spares portion and a Time and Materials contract for the actual repair actions. Potential offerors must have access to an anechoic chamber with appropriate Direction Finding accuracy and sensitivity for the testing and calibration of the RF Antennas. Potential suppliers must be able to provide personnel cleared to the TS/SCI level. Suppliers capable of providing this support must so indicate by writing to Commander, USACECOM, ATTN: AMSEL-LC-IEW-R-AS, Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703-5000. For more information, contact Mike Bernicker, (732)427-5143. The deadline for response is December 17, 1998. Posted 11/19/98 (D-SN272943). (0323)
