The requirement is issued as a Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR) under the Automated Test Systems Acquisition-I (ATSA-I) Multiple Award Contract IDIQ vehicle, following FAR 16.507-2 ordering procedures.

Place of performance includes Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins, Georgia; Dyess Air Force Base in Texas; and Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota, supporting a best estimated quantity of 24 ARTS test systems.

The requirement includes procurement of 70 spares and 300 OEM repairs.

The period of performance consists of a one-year base ordering period with four one-year option periods.
