About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center is seeking information from contractors interested in producing, installing, and integrating receive beam former obsolescence mitigation kits for the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System and Precision Acquisition Vehicle Entry Phase Array Warning System sites. Contractors must demonstrate expertise in UHF phased array technology and the ability to build, install, integrate, and align new kits according to technical specifications.

There is no set-aside designation for this potential procurement. The applicable NAICS code is 334511 for search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical systems and instrument manufacturing. This pre-solicitation notice provides background on sustaining five radar systems located across the United States, United Kingdom, and Greenland through replacement of obsolete components in existing cabinets with form fit function interface kits to resolve obsolescence issues.
Notice text
The Department of the Air Force, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Strategic Warning and Surveillance Systems Division is conducting market research to identify contractors capable of and interested in producing, installing, and integrating Receive Beam Formers (RBFs) obsolescence mitigation kits at the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS) and Precision Acquisition Vehicle Entry (PAVE) Phase Array Warning System (PAWS) (BMEWS/PAVE PAWS) (BPP) sites. These kits will contain Form Fit Function Interface (F3I) replacement components within each cabinet to resolve obsolescence. This effort will support Government requirements to provide sustainment support for BPP sites for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Digital (AFMC), Strategic Warning & Surveillance Systems Division (HBQR). The AN/FPS-123 and AN/FPS-132 BPP radar sensors are ground-based, computer-driven, phased array radars located at Thule Air Base (AB), Greenland; Clear Air Force Station (AFS), Alaska (AK); Royal Air Force (RAF) Fylingdales, United Kingdom (UK); Beale AFB, California (CA); and Cape Cod AFS, Massachusetts (MA). All information contained in this Sources Sought Synopsis is preliminary, as well as subject to modification, and is in no way binding on the Government. The Government will not pay for any information submitted in response to this request. The information requested will be used solely within the Air Force to facilitate decision making and will not be disclosed outside of the Government. The determination of a procurement strategy, based upon the comments submitted in response to this Sources Sought Synopsis, is solely within the discretion of the Government. This synopsis is open to all qualified prime contractors, regardless of size. The applicable NAICS is: 334511 – Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical Systems and Instrument Manufacturing. If a potential offeror believes a different NAICS code is more applicable to this effort than the one noted here, an alternate NAICS and justification for its use should be noted in their response.
