The Naval Air Systems Command intends to negotiate and award a fixed-price type contract to procure a modified configuration of the AN/ALQ-99 Band 9/10 Transmitter (Band 9/10), capable of operating in the adjoining Band 7/8 frequency band. The requirement involves non-recurring engineering to accomplish Band 9/10 design changes, fabrication and testing of up to 10 modified Band 9/10 units, creation and delivery of associated technical data, and repair support. The transmitter will be a Weapons Replaceable Assembly (WRA), mounted in the ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming Pod used on the EA-6B aircraft. The transmitter will amplify and radiate jamming signals generated by the ALQ-99 Universal Exciter Upgrade and ALQ-99 On-Board System. The Government intends to award a contract to Tracor Aerospace Electronics Systems (AES), Lansdale, PA pursuant to Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) since Tracor AES is the designer, developer and sole manufacturer of the AN/ALQ-99 Band 9/10 and the only known source that can meet program requirements. Any other interested parties should contact Mr. Jim Williamson, AIR-2.2.1.2.4, Naval Air Systems Command, 47123 Buse Road, Room 453, NAS Patuxent River, MD 20670 at (301) 757-7060 or email at williamsonja.jfk@navair.navy.mil.
