Sustaining Engineering Services in Support of the Advanced Architecture Phase, Amplitude and Time Simulator (A2PATS)

This is a notice of intent that the government anticipates issuing a commerical contract for engineering services support and sustainment of the A2PATS-Advanced Architecutre Phase, Amplitude and Time Simulator.
This requirement is for engineering services support and sustainment of the A2PATS. The Electronics Warfare/Avionics Integrated Support Facility (EWAISF) A2PATS provides the modeling and simulation (M & S) of the transmission and/or reception of the various type of electromagnetic spectrum. The primary purpose of this effort is for sustaining engineering services supporting the A2PATS to include all modifications and/or technology refreshes of hardware, software, firmware, system training, off-site repairs, on call help desk, acquisition of additional A2PATS Maintenance cabinets, Stimulus cabinets and Synthetic Stimulus Instruments (SSIs), spares, assistance with A2PATS Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) and obsolescence issues and Test Measure Diagnostics Equipment that may be used to support the simulator. This requirement ensures the operability of each A2PATS Radio Frequency (RF) port in the network. The contractor will be required to perform repairs of failed/returned components, provide written/verbal notification upon receiving A2PATS Circuit Card Assemblies (CCA)/ components, provide accurate repair estimates, and contractor performance reporting.
