About this opportunity
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC)/HBY Electronic Warfare Branch is conducting market research to identify engineering solutions for updating, complementing, or replacing the ALE-50 Towed Decoy system used on B-1B aircraft. The agency seeks contractors capable of providing multi-band frequency coverage solutions that address current and emerging threats to enhance the decoy system's capabilities. Interested contractors must demonstrate their proposed solutions' frequency range, technique generation capabilities, size/weight/power requirements, system integration approach, and technical readiness levels. The security clearance level for this effort is Secret, and foreign participation is not anticipated. The original response deadline was June 17, 2025, with a Questions and Answers document posted on June 13, 2025, though the pre-solicitation notice indicates a July 10, 2025 due date.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and encourages participation from both large and small businesses, with joint ventures and teaming arrangements specifically welcomed. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the available documentation. The government has not disclosed specific award values, budget ranges, or contract quantities in this market research phase. The RFI emphasizes that participation in this market research does not guarantee future solicitation opportunities or contract awards, and respondents will not be reimbursed for survey expenses. The effort represents an assessment of industry capabilities to inform potential future acquisition strategies for B-1B electronic warfare systems enhancement.
