16 -- FMS ENGINEERING CHANGE PROPOSAL 411R1/422R2 KITS, SPARES AND TACTICAL SOFTWARE PRODUCTION AND INSTALLATION FOR THE HAWKEYE 2000 EXPORT UPGRADE PROGRAM SOL n/a POC Contact: L.P. Sanders, Phone, (301) 757-7028; Contracting Officer, Terrence O'Connell E-MAIL: SandersLP@navair.navy.mil, SandersLP@navair.navy.mil. The Naval Air Systems Command intends to contract with the Northrop Grumman Corporation for the delivery and installation of Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) 411R1 (Hawkeye 2000 Export (HE2Ke) Upgrade Program) and 422R2 (15-ton vapor cycle kits) to support the Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF). ECP 411R1 provides for delivery and installation of two upgrade kits, spare parts and tactical software. ECP 422R2 provides for delivery and installation of a 15-ton vapor cycle consisting of three kits, Nonrecurring Engineering (NRE), Installation Data Package (IDP) and spare parts. Northrop Grumman, as the E-2C system integrator and manufacturer, is solely qualified to develop, produce and install the Hawkeye 2000 Export Upgrade due to its technical knowledge of the E-2C's highly complex systems necessary to complete this effort. The Government does not own the technical data package required to compete this effort. Only Northrop Grumman is familiar enough with the production effort required to provide the supplies and services required for contract completion within the desired schedule dictated by JASDF's needs.
