16 -- SUITE OF INTEGRATED RF COUNTERMEASURE (SIRFC) DUE 042999 POC Point of Contact -- Robert Tully, Engineer, 732-437-2311 WEB: CECOM ACQUSITION CENTER'S BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY PAGE, http://acbop.monmouth.army.mil. E-MAIL: boden@mail1.monmouth.army.mil, rtully@nvl.army.mil. The US Army is soliciting ITT Avionics for a sole source Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) contract for the Suite of Integrated RF Countermeasures (SIRFC) program. SIRFC was developed by ITT Avionics under the Advanced Development and Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase. The SIRFC is a state-of-the-art, light weight, fully integrated RF situational awareness/countermeasures system designed to protect aviation assets against Pulse, Pulse Doppler, Pulse Compression and Continuous Wave weapon systems and to accomplish data fusion for Target Cueing, Target Hand-off, Pre-emptive ECM and Terminal mode ECM. The system is comprised of the following components: Receiver-Processor; Transmitter, Countermeasures; Modulator-Receiver; four Antenna Assembly (Receive); four Amplifier-Converter (Receive); Antenaa Assembly (Blade); Amplifier-Converter (Blade); Electronic Component Assembly, RF Switch Tray Assembly; and four Antenna (Transmit). SIRFC utilizes advanced technologies to include; Standard Electronic Modules, Format E (SEM-E); Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC); Analog Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC), Digital Gate Arrays, Multichip Modules (MCMs); Multi-Chip Assemblies (MCA's), Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) processors; ferrite stripline technology; Dual Spiral Antennas; Mosfet Power Devices; and light weight materials which include Berylium-Aluminum (BeAl). The system will be procured to Prime Item and Critical Item Product Function (Performance) Specifications at the Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) level. The Government anticipates a Firm Fixed Price Ranged Quantity Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) contract for one year with two option years. A minimum quantity of one (1) system is projected for the first year, two (2) systems for the first option year and seven (7) systems for the second option year. Time and Materials Line Items will be included for contractor engineering support and services. Estimated contract award is 2QFY00 with system deliveries commencing eighteen (18) months after receipt of order (ARO). The contract will include requirements for Contractor Logistics Support (CLS), Test and Evaluation including Reliability Demonstration Testing (RDT) and First Article Testing (FAT), initial spares for test purposes and fieldings, aircraft integration and installation support, support to the Follow-on Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) on the MH-47E aircraft, and refurbishment of EMD and LRIP systems.h Posted 04/14/99 (W-SN320198).
