Instrumentation Radar Support Program II

FA2521-13-R-0008

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) Dated: 10 October 2013 The 45th Space Wing/45 CONS is in the process of contracting with private industry to provide serviceable radar components and subsystems and technical field support for the instrumentation radars in the C and X band (and similar pedestals) families located on 25 ranges in the United States and six foreign countries (United Kingdom, Germany, Korea, Norway, Australia and Sweden ). The contractor augments the maintenance capabilities of using agencies with one-of-a-kind parts and supplies, on-site overhauls and emergency technical support. Because it is an autonomous program offering serviceable components and supplies to users without any special adaptation or interface, there are no configuration control requirements.

Responses to RFIs are not required.

RFI responses will not be shared with industry.
