Depot Level Repair Requirements for the PATRIOT Missile System

Synopsis:

This is a request for information (RFI) only. This is not an invitation for bids (IFB), request for quotations (RFQ), or request for proposals (RFP). The US Government is seeking sources to provide on-site depot level diagnosis, clean up, repair, modification, technical assistance and maintenance of Phased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept of Target (PATRIOT) Missile System Major Items deployed in CONUS and OCONUS locations.

Background:

The Integrated Fires Mission Command (IFMC) has identified a need to provide depot level repair requirements for the PATRIOT Missile System. This requirement is for an estimated time period of 1 February 2025 through 31 January 2030, with a need date of 1 February 2025.

The contractor, as an independent contractor and not as an agent of the Government, shall furnish the services, materials and resources (except as may be furnished by the Government) required to perform depot level diagnosis, clean up, repair, modification, technical assistance and maintenance of PATRIOT Missile System Major Items world-wide.

This procurement requires access to classified hardware and software as well as Raytheon Proprietary information. The Government cannot provide this information to contractors as a result of this posting. The contractor would have to accomplish these efforts without the use of the Manufacturing Data Package, as it contains proprietary information. This includes configuration information needed for set up, interconnection, as well as reach back support from Raytheon engineering. This support is used by the Major Item Repairmen (MIR) in the field when an issue arises beyond their capabilities. The MIR have access to historical and system expertise developed by Raytheon. The Government does not have access to this information and will not be able to provide any prospective contractor access to it. Raytheon is not obligated to provide any system support to any prospective contractor.

Interested firms are invited to indicate interest by providing:

1. Company name, company address, overnight delivery address (if different from mailing address), Cage Code, point of contact, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number.

2. Business size (i.e. large, small disadvantaged, veteran owned, woman owned, etc.)

3. Affirmation of cleared personnel.

4. A description of the company's expertise in providing on-site depot level diagnosis, clean-up, repair, modification, technical assistance and maintenance of PATRIOT Missile System Major Items as identified above.

5. The company's experience in meeting contractual due dates for similar type efforts.

All responses shall be unclassified.

All assumptions, including any assumed Government support, shall be clearly identified. All proprietary and restricted information shall be clearly marked.

The closing date for this RFI is May 30, 2024.
