- Description
- The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), 412th Test Wing, Electronic Warfare Directorate, intends to award a one-year contract extension with a one-year option to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company to support Simulation Development, Operations and Maintenance for the Air Force Electronic Warfare Evaluation Simulator (AFEWES). Authority for this action is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) per FAR 6.302-1(a). AFEWES is a hardware-in-the-loop test facility located at Air Force Plant 4, Ft. Worth, Texas that develops, validates and operates high fidelity threat simulators for testing electronic warfare (EW) effectiveness. The AFEWES facility provides secure, technical evaluations of EW systems and techniques against radar and infrared (IR) guided terminal threat systems, surface-to-air missiles (SAM), and IR air-to-air missiles. The AFEWES facility incorporates both hardware and software to simulate threat systems and interact with U.S. and allied EW systems. AFEWES supports testing throughout all phases of the electronic warfare threat countermeasure evaluation cycle for DoD, EW programs, and allied foreign military customers. Real world events requires a continuity of services from the existing contractor who currently possesses the requisite knowledge, capabilities, and demonstrated performance to operate and maintain existing AFEWES threat system simulators and provide the development/modification and integration of AFEWES unique threat simulation capabilities. The Government must ensure that near-term U.S. and allied mission essential requirements continue to be met at the existing level of support without mission degradation. It is the intent of the Government to issue this contract extension to the incumbent, with a period of performance of one year with an option for a second year, using other than full and open competition under FAR 6.302-1(a)(iii)(B). This period will allow adequate time for the Government to complete actions necessary to assess current requirements necessary to enable a potential competition of a future acquisition as well as explore the possibility of consolidating AFEWES capabilities to reduce future operating costs. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this proposed extension. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Direct all communications concerning this notice by e-mail to Alan Wall at alan.wall@edwards.af.mil. E-mails shall contain full text and shall not include attachments. Notes 8,22 and 26 apply.
