Engineering Support AN/ALR-56 C/M Radar Warning Receiver

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base is seeking engineering support services for the AN/ALR-56C/M Radar Warning Receiver systems used across multiple aircraft platforms including the F-15C/D/E, F-16, and C-130 for both United States Air Force and Foreign Military Sales applications. The scope of work encompasses operational flight program upgrades, mission data file generator executable files, hardware prototypes, test events, test support, FMS familiarization packages, studies, and analyses. This procurement represents a ceiling increase to an existing contract rather than a new solicitation, with the requirement falling under Engineering Services (NAICS 541330) and Support-Professional Engineering/Technical (PSC R425) categories. Interested parties should note the pre-solicitation notice deadline of December 5, 2025, though this notice indicates an intent to increase the ceiling rather than solicit competitive bids. The evaluation criteria and specific technical requirements will be detailed in the formal solicitation documentation that is anticipated to follow this notice.

This pre-solicitation notice does not involve a set-aside designation and identifies BAE Systems (Cage Code 81413) of Totowa, New Jersey as the current sole-source contractor under contract FA8523-18-D-0001, which was originally awarded on June 18, 2018. The ceiling increase is valued at $50 million and will cover the remaining period of performance through June 17, 2028, following the completion of five one-year ordering periods and five one-year option periods. As a sole-source contract awarded under 10 USC 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 based on only one responsible source being available, this ceiling increase will likely continue with the incumbent contractor rather than open to competition. The contract timeline indicates substantial ongoing support requirements over the next several years, with the total contract value potentially exceeding the $50 million ceiling increase when combined with previously obligated funding.
