- Description
- This Sources Sought Announcement (SSA) is for planning purposes only and shall not be considered as an Invitation for Bids, Request for Quotations, or a Request for Proposals. Additionally, there is no obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services described in this Request for Information (RFI). Your response to this RFI will be treated only as information for the Government to consider. You will not be entitled to payment for direct or indirect costs that you incur in responding to this SSA. This request does not constitute a solicitation for proposals or the authority to enter into negotiations to award a contract. No funds have been authorized, appropriated, or received for this effort. The information provided may be used by the Army in developing its acquisition strategy, Statement of Work/Performance Work Statements and/or Statement of Objectives. Interested parties are responsible for adequately marking proprietary, restricted or competition sensitive information contained in their response. The Government does not intend to pay for the information submitted in response to this SSA. The Government is seeking potential sources to support and sustain the following FIREFINDER Radar Systems configurations: AN/TPQ-36(V), AN/TPQ-37(V), and AN/TPQ-46(V). These radar systems automatically locate hostile mortar and artillery projectiles. The major components for these radar systems are the Operations Control Group, Antenna Transceiver Group (ATG), and Generator Power Group. The AN/TPQ-36(V) is a mobile, phased-array radar system that automatically covers short-range mortar and artillery fire, while the AN/TPQ-37(V) covers long-range artillery fire. The AN/TPQ-46(V) is the Marine Corps version of the FIREFINDER Radar System. These radar systems provide required force protection to Warfighters conducting tactical missions associated with multiple worldwide operations. These systems are currently operating 24/7 in Southwest Asia to support Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and the Global War on Terror. The Governments requirements include, but are not limited to the following: 1) Various National Stock Numbers (NSNs) identified on two separate NSN Lists to be supplied upon receipt of a written inquiry, 2) Procurement of various system components (i.e. ATG, and newly redesigned Radar Processors), 3) Depot Level Maintenance Support Services such as: repairs of Secondary Items, system level repairs based on contingency requirements, 4) improvement efforts to eliminate or reduce parts obsolescence, increase reliability and maintainability to support optimum availability of these radar systems and their components, 5) life extension initiatives and implementation of technology refreshment/insertion to sustain the life expectancy of these radar systems, 6) technical engineering and support services for all fielded FIREFINDER Radar Systems within the Continental United States and Outside the Continental United States. The Logistics and Readiness Center (LRC) has identified a need for the aforementioned support under a follow-on Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a projected five year ordering period. This SSA will also satisfy requirement for an action to extend the ordering period of existing IDIQ Contract W15P7T-06-D-T001 for a period of one year. Anticipated award dates for both actions are to be determined. Delivery Orders/Task Orders (DOs/TOs) are anticipated to be issued on a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) and/or Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) basis. Provisions for performance based metrics will be included as contract requirements. Note that all major components along with some of the NSNs identified on the NSN List to be supplied upon request will require end item performance testing. The Government cannot guarantee availability of an end item to supply as Government Furnished Equipment for development and/or qualification testing purposes. Additionally, note the Government does not currently possess a detailed Level III Technical Drawing Package (TDP) or most up to date Level II TDP nor complete detailed specifications, repair procedures, performance and integration testing documentation to support adequate production and/or repair. Interested sources must comply with the following requirements: " Identification of contractor as a large or small business and type (HUB Zone, 8(a), Women-Owned, or Non-Disadvantage). " Past Performance on similar efforts and with any particular FIREFINDER Radar configurations, NSNs identified on listing and/or similar NSNs, and date(s) of award of performance based contract(s) with Government contract number if applicable and also identify date of last manufacturing effort.
