Dismounted Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (C-RCIED) Electronic Warfare (CREW) Systems, Sustainment, and Ancillary Equipment

On September 2017, the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM Directorate of Procurement) awarded a sole source 5-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) to support USSOCOM Dismounted Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RCIED) Electronic Warfare (CREW) Systems. The purpose of this notification is to inform industry of USSOCOM's intent to issue a procurement action to increase the contract ceiling on the current IDIQ from $205,000,000.00 to $410,000,000.00. The contract ceiling increase is required to support procurement orders for the Modi electronic countermeasure (ECM) system from USSOCOM, United States Army (USA), United States Marine Corps (USMC) and other government agencies. This opportunity to coordinate acquisition efforts allows all stakeholders to gain efficiencies through quantities-of-scale and collective developments and enhancements across the ECM user community. Delivery Orders to this IDIQ also include the following for Modi and Thor II systems:

- Sustainment and engineering support services;
- Procurement of new CREW systems;
- Loadset, software, and firmware development;
- Research and advanced technique development;
- Spare parts and ancillary equipment;
- Development of prototype auxiliary/subsystem equipment based on
emerging technologies;
- Upgrades and Service Life Extension Programs (SLEP) of systems;
- Training and field support;
- Support to mission critical and urgent requirements for Special Operations Forces.

After evaluation of the responses received to the Sources Sought issued 16 July 2016, USSOCOM has determined that, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii), no other responsible source will satisfy agency requirements with the available technical data without incurring substantial duplication of cost that is not expected to be recovered through competition. USSOCOM has not found additional sources since the 16 July 2016 posting which necessitates the intended ceiling increase to contract H92222-17-D-0023. Any questions or concerns regarding the above requirement should be submitted in writing via email to Ms. Erica Shaw, Contract Specialist (CTR), Erica.Shaw.ctr@socom.mil.
