The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract to L3Harris Technologies, Inc. to provide repairs for the AN/ALQ-161 electronic warfare system. The potential value of the contract is $70 million with a period of performance from June 2020 to May 2025. Task orders issued against the contract include repair services for over 150 line replaceable units and shop replaceable units at the contractor's facility, with delivery requirements ranging from 40 to 185 days. Repairs will support sustainment of the critical ALQ-161 electronic attack pod and be performed at L3Harris locations in Amityville, New York and Clifton, New Jersey. No set-asides were designated in the contract or task orders issued to date.
The originating pre-solicitation notice sought proposals for a five-year requirements contract for sustainment of the AN/ALQ-161 system. The estimated total value was $150 million. The notice provided repair quantities by national stock number and part number for the basic period and four annual ordering periods. Repairs were to take place at the contractor's facility. The intent was to award a sole-source contract to EDO Corporation to consolidate repair requirements and provide improved delivery times and lower costs for the sustainment of this key electronic warfare system supporting the Air Force mission.
