About this file
This solicitation is seeking proposals for a System Security Update (SSU) kit to provide encryption and security upgrades for the Air Force's P5 Combat Training System (P5CTS) Airborne Subsystem pods. The SSU kit will replace the obsolete Data Guard Processor with a Data Security Module and modified End Cap that encrypts data through an NSA-certified encryptor. The SSU program will manage production of retrofit kits consisting of the new hardware, software, documentation and technical data packages. Proposals are due by June 25, 2021 with award anticipated by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021. The IDIQ contract has a minimum value of $8 million, maximum of $90.6 million over a five-year ordering period with potential for a sixth year. The Air Force Lifecycle Management Center at Hill AFB will administer the contract to provide up to 1,015 USAF and 100 FMS SSU kits, provisioning spares, integration and qualification services, data and manuals.
