1.0 PURPOSE

Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command (MAGTF-TC) requires contracted Electronic Warfare Support (ES) services during MAGTF Warfighting Exercises (MWX) to effectively train exercise units during Service Level Training Exercises (SLTE). This ES capability must be able to passively identify, characterize, and locate MAGTF communication assets simultaneously across the full spectrum of tactical communications. This communication data, once analyzed, can be used as a training aid during SLTEs in order to model near-peer competitor detection capabilities in the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). Furthermore, this communication data is critical for feeding precise technical information to Adversary Forces' electronic attack assets during training evolutions.

A twelve-month base period and four, twelve-month option periods with an optional six-month extension of services under the authority of FAR 52.217-8 are included in this request. The total period of performance, assuming the option to extend services under FAR 52.217-8 is exercised at the end of option year 4 (for outward planning purposes only) will be from 1 November 2020 to May 2025.
