A -- INTERGRATION AND TEST SUPPORT FOR PASSIVE SURVEILLANCE RADAR SOL N68936-00-R-0018 POC Shaleen Lambert, Contract Specialist, (760) 939-7652 The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), China Lake, CA intends to award a contract, on an other-than-full-competition basis, to Lockheed Martin, Syracuse, New York. This requirement is for development and test of Electronic Warfare Support (ES) Systems and related equipment interfaces with shipboard systems. This includes support for development and test of a Passive Surveillance Radar (PSR) Engineering Development Model (EDM) unit, which will be integrated with the AN/BLQ-10 ES system. Integration considerations will include, but are not limited to installations on Virginia, SSN-688, and SSN-688I class platforms. Negotiations will be conducted, solely with Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin is the sole contractor that builds submarines for the U.S. Navy, and has responsibility for design of the boat and integration of equipment and systems for the next generation submarine, including the AN/BLQ-10 system. The PSR EDM unit being developed by Syracuse Research Corporation will interface with the AN/BLQ-10 system and Lockheed Martin technical support will be needed throughout the development. Lockheed Martin possesses a unique understanding of the interface requirements and design considerations, which must be incorporated into equipment that interfaces with the AN/BLQ-10 and other submarine systems. Lockheed Martin also possesses unique laboratory systems and facilities that will be needed for integration testing of the EDM PSR. The anticipated period of performance for this requirement is a total of five years, including options. Approximately 9,750 hours are anticipated for the five-year effort. The anticipated award date is December 31, 1999. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which shall be considered by the agency.
