About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center is conducting market research to identify potential sources for a modified off-the-shelf multi-mode radar system compatible with the B-52 aircraft. This sources sought synopsis is designed to assess industry capabilities for producing a specialized radar system for the USAF's B-52 RMP (Radar Modernization Program). The market research will help determine the acquisition strategy, which could potentially be a full and open competition, a small business set-aside, or a sole source acquisition. Interested parties are invited to respond to this industry notification, with responses due by April 9, 2025. The government emphasizes that this is an informational notice only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or guarantee of contract award.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside has been predetermined for this opportunity, leaving flexibility in the procurement approach. The contract falls under the NAICS category 334511 for Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of 1510 for Fixed Wing Aircraft. While no specific award value or budget range is mentioned in the notice, the complexity of developing a multi-mode radar system for a strategic bomber suggests this could be a significant contract. The procurement timeline and specific technical requirements will likely be detailed in the full Sources Sought Synopsis attachment, which interested vendors should carefully review. The Air Force's approach suggests a comprehensive market research phase to understand potential industry capabilities before finalizing the procurement strategy.
