Plug & Fight A-Kits

The Government anticipates award of a hybrid Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity fixed price and cost-reimbursable follow-on contract in support of the Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Project Office. This requirement is to provide engineering, hardware (HW) and software (SW). The Radar Interface Unit (RIU) Support IDIQ effort is a hardware/software based end item integrated into the Patriot weapon system's Engagement Control System (ECS) Major End Item (MEI) forming a new ECS MEI variant named the RIU, which interfaces with the IAMD System of Systems (SoS). The requirements of this acquisition are to update P&F A-Kit end items incorporating product fixes and interface modifications; produce, deliver, and install 16 new P&F A-Kit product LRIP/FRP end items; deliver Modification Work Orders (MWO) for installing and uninstalling the RIU A-KITs; and provide AIAMD integration, test, and evaluation (IT&E) support including the use of a Hardware-in-the- Loop (HWIL) test bed capability. This capability is to address critical IAMD risks, verify key AIAMD requirements, supply critical required high fidelity Pre-Flight Test Performance and Prediction (PFTPP) data, and identify P&F A-Kit software/interfaces problems/fixes. The RIU Support IDIQ effort could also include P&F A-Kit modifications to provide interoperability with planned/ongoing Patriot Post Deployment Build 8.x software efforts.

This acquisition will be sole source to Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems (IDS), 401 Jan Davis Drive, Huntsville, AL 35806, Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code OHG55, pursuant to the authority, 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR Part 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(A), "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements."
