About this opportunity
The Air Force Materiel Command is conducting market research for Digital Airport Surveillance Radar (DASR) Sustainment through a sources sought synopsis. The Electronic Systems Directorate intends to modify an existing Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract originally awarded to Raytheon Company, extending the ordering period from September 28, 2025 to September 28, 2030, with delivery capabilities continuing until September 28, 2032. The procurement seeks comprehensive sustainment support for 157 DASR systems deployed across 142 domestic and 15 international locations, with a required operational availability of 99.4%. Respondents must demonstrate either possession of or ability to obtain intellectual property rights from the Original Equipment Manufacturer, or provide a detailed strategy for sustainment without direct IP access. Responses to this sources sought synopsis are due by January 15, 2025 at 5:00 PM EST and must not exceed 15 pages in length.
The solicitation is open to all business types, including small businesses, under NAICS category 334511 with a size standard of 1,350 employees. The current contract holder, Raytheon Company (now RTX), is the Original Equipment Manufacturer with existing intellectual property rights. Key services required include Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) support, system enhancements and modifications, spares and material replenishment, technical support services, and program management. The DASR system provides primary surveillance coverage within 60 nautical miles and secondary surveillance within 120 nautical miles, generating critical weather precipitation intensity reports for both civilian and military airfields. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the long-term contract extension and comprehensive sustainment requirements suggest a significant potential contract scope.
