Statement of Work Pedestal Maintenance & Upgrades DAiTA Group, Atlantic Test Ranges & Targets ATR, Aircraft Signature & Avionics Measurement (ASAM) Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division

SCOPE

A.Background
1) Atlantic Test Ranges (ATR), located on Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, MD supports Naval Air Warfare Center’s Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) in conducting research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) testing as a Major Ranges & Test Facility Base (MRTFB) test installation. ATR is one of a handful of facilities and ranges regarded as national assets operated and maintained primarily for DoD RDT&E missions. MRTFB ranges and facilities provide unique assets to ensure proper RDT&E support for U.S. military weapon systems developers for, but not limited to: F/A-18(A-G), P-8A, V-22, F-35B/C, F-22, C-130, KC-130, AH-1, UH-1, MQ-1, MQ-4, MQ-8, MQ-9 and various weapons or unmanned platforms for the Navy and other Department of Defense (DoD) Agencies (Air Force, Army, etc.). Range instrumentation and display systems deliver decision-quality data to customers and mission control, as well as, Bay Watch traffic advisory services for the Patuxent River Special-Use Airspace. Over the past few years, ATR completed an upgrade of several radar pedestals. A contract is required for the maintenance of existing pedestals, purchase of new pedestals and upgrades, and for an acquisition channel to purchase spares or repairs in minimum time when time is a critical element.
B.Intent
1) This statement of work (SOW) is for a five (5) year indefinite delivery-infinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, consisting of one (1) base year and four (4) option years, to support the maintenance, services, and acquisition for pedestal improvement and maintenance. This encompasses several aspects: technical support, non-warranty hardware repair or replacement, obsolescence management, on-site maintenance, preventative maintenance, spare parts, and replacement pedestals. The SOW’s intent is to describe the services, labor categories, new equipment and spares required. The planned start date is October 1, 2025 with the final option year ending on (or around) September 30, 2030.
