Stand-in Attack Weapon and Advanced Anti-Radiation Ground Munition – Extended Range System Integration and Development

DISCLAIMER:

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes – it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the Government is not seeking proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Vendors are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP that may be issued.

SUBJECT:

The Stand in Attack Weapon (SiAW) Program Office (PO) is responsible for Air Force acquisition of next generation munitions built to rapidly strike mobile targets within an enemy’s anti-access/area denial environment. 

The purpose of this RFI  is to look at the applicability of creating an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract mechanism for flexible and efficient acquisition of goods and services for AFLCMC/EBIS also known as the SiAW Program Office that is responsible for both SiAW and AARGM-ER weapon systems. This is intended to provide the ability for further development and integration of the mature SiAW and AARGM-ER Weapon System design.

DESCRIPTION:

The Government is seeking support to continue development of the AARGM-ER and SiAW.  The SiAW program is currently executing a Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) Rapid Prototyping phase. The MTA will conclude with a production decision and potential future development for additional capabilities. This IDIQ will support these future opportunities through engineering changes to the SiAW baseline configuration with respect to the SiAW Weapon System. Due to the hardware commonality between SiAW and AARGM-ER, this IDIQ will also provide coverage of future engineering work for the AARGM-ER Weapon System. The users of this IDIQ will include the SiAW Program Office, JPO and any others required for potential changes that may address, but are not limited to the following areas: 

•    Obsolescence
•    System Security and Resiliency (to include Cybersecurity and Cyber resiliency)
•    Upgrades and Enhancements
•    Product Improvements
•    Producibility and Affordability
•    Other changes as necessary to meet existing or new/emerging requirements

The security classification level for this effort is TOP SECRET/SECRET/SAR.

INTEREST:

Successful responses must demonstrate the ability to provide subject matter expert support, preferably with past experience and familiarity with SiAW and AARGAM-ER, as outlined in the attached SOO.  If the vendor does not have subject matter experience expertise or needed familiarity, the Government would like a rough schedule on how long it would take to stand up this capability. 

Attachments:

• SiAW System Integration Development IDIQ SOO
• DRAFT Contract Data Requirements List
• Draft DD254
• WOSA Modularity Assessment Guide
• SiAW GRA

All attachements are available by request and will be delivered via DoDSAFE.  For the SiAW GRA attachment the USG will provide the files but will not provide support/software to view/access files (specific software requirements are in the attached SOO).

Potential offerors need to request a DODSAFE drop from Capt Corben Ruf at corben.ruf.1@us.af.mil or Lt Cole Johnson cole.johnson.20@us.af.mil at to receive these attachments.

Responses are due by Friday 19 April 2024, by 1700 CST.
