AN/UPX-50 Common Core Digital Interrogator (CCDI) Productionization

Wat de aanbestedende dienst vraagt

1. INTRODUCTION THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. It is a market research tool being used to determine potential and eligible businesses capable of providing the services described herein prior to determining the method of acquisition and issuance of a Request for Proposal. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources because of this notice. The Naval Air Systems Command, (NAVAIR) Patuxent River, Maryland, Air Traffic Management Systems Program Office (PMA-213) intends to award a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) order for the productionization of the AN/UPX-50 Common Core Digital Interrogator (CCDI). This includes transitioning from lab-built prototypes to units that can be produced in an electronics manufacturing environment, the development of unique CCDI test equipment and procedures, as well as integration of the CCDI into existing DI test equipment to ensure the CCDI meets all specified requirements. Lastly, this effort includes Automated Switch-Over (ASO) production line development, a CCDI Re-Spin option, and a CCDI Unknown Trouble Report (TR) corrections option. The anticipated period of performance is 32 months with an estimated value of $47M. The work associated with this requirement is expected to be performed at the contractor’s facilities within the United States. No work at Government sites is anticipated. The specific place(s) of performance will be determined based on the location of the contractor selected for any resulting contract. 2.0 BACKGROUND Production of AN/UPX-50(C) DI systems is currently performed on the N00019-23-C-0046 contract by BAE Systems, Information and Electronic Systems Integration. The existing contract is a Firm Fixed Price type. The AN/UPX-50(C) is a DI for ground-based shipboard weapon system platforms to satisfy Mark XIIA IFF and Mode S requirements. Technical refresh of the AN/UPX-50(C) DI system to the CCDI system is currently performed on the N0001922G0009 N0001923F0023 Cost Plus Fixed Fee BOA Order. The technical refresh effort includes the redesign of the AN/UPX-50(C) DI assemblies to resolve parts obsolescence and implement solutions to achieve compliance with the latest specifications, qualification, and certification standards. 3.0 REQUIRED CAPABILITIES Supplies and services to be procured will support the Navy’s requirement of AN/UPX 50 CCDI EDMs beginning in December 2027 to support production deliveries in December 2030 to active new ship production lines including:CVN, DDG, LHA, LHD, LPD, WMSL, and WMSM ship classes. These efforts require highly specialized skills and knowledge of the CCDI system design and engineering details to meet the stringent schedule. Productionization of the CCDI includes integration of highly complex Contractor developed algorithms in conjunction with Government cooperation using organically developed algorithms for target processing. This system is specialized for operation with the Aegis Weapon System (AWS) and Ship’s Self Defense System (SSDS), involving characterization of the system of systems in their operational environment to ensure ship requirements are met. This effort is intended to complete Non-Recurring Engineering activities, which are already in progress. Productionization will include the development and integration of highly specialized test equipment to ensure equipment meets all specified requirements. BAE Systems is the sole designer, developer and manufacturer of DI and has been the only entity producing the AN/UPX-50(C) DI for over 10 years. BAE Systems retains the Technical Data Package (TDP). Interested parties must include a detailed explanation of how they would complete the CCDI Productionization requirements without a Government furnished TDP. Responses must also explain how they would accomplish the CCDI productionization effort and provide a timeline including major milestones to support BAE Systems’ CCDI production delivery requirements…
