Deep-Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC)

The Space and Missile Systems Center is seeking information from contractors through a sources sought announcement for the Deep-Space Advanced Radar Capability program. The Center requires responses by January 24, 2020 from contractors experienced in developing complex radar systems, site construction, engineering support, software development, and logistics. Contractors must indicate if they are a small or large business and describe relevant experience, capabilities to meet technical requirements, and ability to work in a secure environment. The scope of work involves building and installing a pseudo-monostatic ground radar system to provide global space surveillance coverage between 2023 and 2027 and ensure long-term mission availability.

There is no set-aside designated for this pre-solicitation. NAICS code 334511 was selected but has not been determined. The sources sought announcement does not name any potential incumbents or current contractors, nor does it provide possible award values or timelines for delivery quantities. Respondents are requested to describe their capabilities to support the technical requirements for developing and fielding the advanced radar capability over the 2023 to 2027 period.
