16 -- EA-6B BAND 7/8 TRANSMITTER SOL N00019-00-C-0195 POC Contact: James A. Williamson, Phone (301)757-7060 E-MAIL: WilliamsonJA2@navair.navy.mil, WilliamsonJA2@navair.navy.mil. 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, capable of operating in the Band 7/8 frequency band. This announcement is an amendment to the CBD Announcement, 20022-99, posted on 8 December 1998. The requirement involves non-recurring effort to accomplish Band 9/10 design changes, fabrication and testing of up to 18 Band 7/8 units, creation and delivery of associated technical data, and up to three years of logistics 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 BAE Systems in Lansdale, PA pursuant to Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) since BAE Systems is the designer, developer and sole manufacturer of the AN/ALQ-99 Band9/10 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, Naval Air Station Patuxent River, MD 20670 at (301) 757-7060 or email at williamsonja2@navair.navy.mil.
