THIS IS AN UPDATED, FOLLOW UP REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) / SOURCES SOUGHT ONLY IAW FAR 5.205(C).

The United States Army Program Executive Office Intelligence Electronic Warfare and Sensors (PEO IEW&S) has developed this follow-on notice to confirm and revalidate Market Research findings from November 2024. This market research information will be used to determine the scope of industry capabilities and interest, as well as determine sources in the marketplace capable of supporting the requirement identified in this notice. Market research results will assist the Army in determining whether this requirement will be satisfied via full and open competition, a small business set-aside, or a sole source acquisition.

Description of Requirement:

The PEO IEW&S is seeking information from industry to revalidate sources for sustainment and engineering services related to the Long Range Radar-Enhanced (LRR-E) P/N  NP302K600G03 developed by Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Cage Code: 15055. At this time, the Government does not have ownership of any technical data packages in regard to the LRR-E system. The Army is pursuing the LRR-E system to meet its requirements for Synthetic Aperture Radar-Moving Target Indication (SAR/MTI) capabilities on manned aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft. The Army has procured three (3) LRR-E systems to date, with support services ongoing via contract W56KGY-20-D-0012.

The Government anticipates the need for continued procurement of engineering support, sustainment, production, and lifecycle support required to deploy and maintain the readiness and operation capability of the LRR-E onto Army platforms. The Government’s intent of a proposed contract strategy would allow for the full acquisition lifecycle of services and supply needs for the LRR-E system, with the acquisition of additional LRR-E systems, if required.
