About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research for the AN/ALR-56M Advanced Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) Shipset, which is used on F-16 and C-130J aircraft for Department of Defense and Foreign Military Sales customers. The RWR system is designed to enhance aircrew survivability by detecting and intercepting radio frequency signals across various frequency ranges and improving situational awareness in combat environments. The system interfaces with jamming, countermeasures, and aircraft avionics equipment and operates with advanced active electronically scanned array radar technology. Interested parties may identify their capabilities by emailing Christopher Wade and Chrissie Smith no later than February 27, 2025. The government intends to procure these items using Other Than Full and Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1, which allows for procurement from a single source when no other suppliers can meet agency requirements.
BAE Systems Information and Electronics Systems Integration (CAGE code 81413) is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer and the only known source with adequate knowledge of the AN/ALR-56M RWR System performance requirements. The government does not own proprietary software or technical data for the system, which further limits competitive sources. No specific set-aside designation has been applied to this opportunity, and the solicitation is not a formal request for proposal but a market research synopsis. While no specific award value or quantity was detailed in the notice, the procurement will support ongoing F-16 and C-130J aircraft programs. Respondents are advised that submitting information is voluntary, no funds are available for response preparation, and the government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement.
