15 -- COMMERCIAL AIR SERVICES TO PROVIDE HIGH POWER RADAR JAMMING ELECTRONIC WARFARE TRAINING SERVICES. POC Carole A. Romary, AIR 2.4.3.1.1, (301) 757-8963 WEB: NAVAIR HOME PAGE, http://www.navair.navy.mil. E-MAIL: Ms. Carole Romary, Contract Specialist, ROMARYCA@NAVAIR.NAVY.MIL. The Navy intends to conduct a full and open competition for the procurement of commercial air services to replace the Navy's EC-24A program. The contractor will provide two contractor-furnished and maintained aircraft capable of supporting contractor-acquired and Government-furnished mission equipment used for high power radar jamming electronic warfare training services. Performance will be mostly on the East and West Coasts of the United States. However, some overseas missions will be required in Hawaii, the Far East, the North Eastern Pacific, but missions are not limited to these areas and operations may be required anywhere worldwide. Initially the contractor will be required to modify its aircraft with a high-powered radar jamming system. The Navy anticipates awarding a contract with one base year and up to nine option years. The Navy intends to issue a draft RFP on or about 15 January 1999. Posted 12/16/98 (W-SN280786). (0350)
