APX-114 / APX-119 Identification of Friend or Foe (IFF) Systems, Miniaturized Airborne Global Positioning Receiver (GPS) 2000 (MAGR 2K) / MAGR 2K Modernization (MAGR 2K-M), F-15E LANTIRN Navigation POD

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research to identify potential sources for repairing three critical aircraft systems: the APX-114/APX-119 Identification of Friend or Foe (IFF) Systems, the Miniaturized Airborne Global Positioning Receiver 2000 (MAGR 2K)/MAGR 2K-M, and the F-15E LANTIRN Navigation POD. The market research aims to identify contractors with appropriate repair data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements for these complex aerospace systems. Potential contractors must demonstrate robust capabilities including an AS9100-compliant quality management system, comprehensive Supply Chain Risk Management, and robust counterfeit parts prevention protocols. The capability survey requires detailed information about business classification, facility capabilities, repair experience, security clearances, configuration management processes, and testing procedures. Responses to the Request for Information (RFI) must be submitted to SAM.gov by February 28, 2025, with the understanding that participation does not guarantee future contract opportunities.

The current pre-solicitation notice does not specify a specific set-aside designation, and Raytheon Corporation is identified as the incumbent contractor under the existing contract SPRBL1-15-D-0017. The proposed contract will have a three-year period of performance, with key performance metrics including no more than one Product Quality Deficiency Report (PQDR) per quarter and fewer than five late deliveries annually. While specific award values are not disclosed, the contract will involve repair services to be performed at the contractor's facility, with stringent requirements for production reporting, inventory management, and cybersecurity protection. The government has not yet determined specific security clearance requirements or limitations on foreign participation. The systems covered include various NSN/part-numbered components, with potential modification paths for radar transponders containing obsolete parts, indicating a complex and technically sophisticated procurement process.
