Trusted and Elastic Military Platforms and Electronic Warfare (EW) System Technologies (TEMPEST)
The Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory seeks proposals for the Resilient and Agile Mission Systems program to prototype and demonstrate a next-generation mission systems architecture at Technology Readiness Level 6 to empower advanced warfighting capabilities for current and future Air Force weapons systems. Offerors must propose solutions meeting the requirements in the attached Statement of Objectives, with proposals due by August 14, 2020 to be evaluated based on the offeror's proposed technical approach, management approach, and pricing. Offerors must be U.S. citizens holding TS/SCI security clearance, as the work involves export-controlled technologies.
There is no set-aside designated for this opportunity. The NAICS code is 541715 and PSC code is R425. The effort will have a period of performance of 60 months and is expected to result in one or multiple cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts valued at a total of $100 million to be performed at AFRL/RYWA on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. The Air Force expects to make one or multiple awards by October 2020 to integrate and experiment with the RAMS prototype architecture.

10/14/20, 2:49 PM DAIRCM JUONS Integration (HH-60W)
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to negotiate and award a sole source cost-reimbursement type order with DRS Systems, Inc. Melbourne, FL for non-recurring engineering, including associated production of sensors, processors, lasers, and fiber optic cable assemblies (FOCA), to integrate and test the AN/AAQ-45 Distributed Aperture Infrared Countermeasures (DAIRCM) Joint Urgent Operational Need Statement (JUONS) system configuration onto the United States Air Force (USAF) HH-60W Combat Rescue Helicopter (CRH) to support Department of Defense (DoD) requirements.
This effort is being awarded on a sole source basis to DRS Systems, Inc. in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 because DRS Systems, Inc. is the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer of the equipment addressed in this synopsis and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. In addition, the Government does not own a technical data package (TDP) for the AN/AAQ-45 which is suitable for competition. Drawings and data are proprietary to DRS Systems, Inc. A Product Verification Audit (PVA) may be required for prospective sources. Please contact DRS Systems, Inc. Senior Contract Administrator, Ms. Becky Behl-Hill at (321) 622-1507 or Becky.Behl-Hill@drs.com or Senior Controller, Mr. Jeffrey Cutre at (321) 622-1104 or jeffreyacutre@drs.com for subcontracting opportunities.
