- Description
- The Atmospheric Early Warning Systems (AEWS) System Program Office (SPO), located at Hill AFB in Ogden, Utah has a requirement for a contractor to provide User Support and Emergency Depot Level Maintenance (EDLM) Services for the AN/FPS/117(V)1/4 Long Range Radar system and Maintenance Control System (MCS) sites. These radars support the Joint Surveillance and North Warning missions in Alaska (15 sites), Canada (10 sites), Puerto Rico (1 site), Hawaii (1 site), and the Engineering Facility (EFAC) at Hill AFB UT (1 site). The MCSs are located at Elmendorf AFB, North Bay-Ontario, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Hill AFB. User Support and EDLM will be an engineering services contract. The scope includes providing engineering services via the User Support effort and emergency on-site technical and engineering services to resolve red condition AN/FPS-117 that cannot be repaired by the field maintenance technicians or through telephone contact with Government personnel at the EFAC or on-line maintenance efforts. The Contractor support may include telephone and/or on-site support to radar sites and MCSs, remote troubleshooting, design/drawing research and analysis. This effort requires that a contractor have inherent knowledge of the AN/FPS-117 radar system specifications, operations, and mission requirements and access to the Monitoring and Fault Isolation (MFI) software to review faults reported by the system and determine if the software is functioning correctly. The MFI software is proprietary to Lockheed Martin Corporation with the Government having limited data rights. The contractor must possess AN/FPS-117 hardware and software expertise to successfully complete this effort. The radar missions in Alaska, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii are conducted 24/7, 365 days a year; the majority of the radars are located in extremely remote areas above the Arctic Circle which makes it difficult to access the radars for urgent maintenance (the radars are minimally attended/unmanned). A limited number of parts and tools are permanently located at the sites, so understanding whether special equipment is required to be carried to the site via helicopter is critical, prior to sending technicians to fix problems on the radars. All interested responsible sources should submit a capability statement demonstrating that they currently possess the knowledge and experience required to quickly respond to questions unanswered in current government technical data or to repair a failed radar and bring it back on line or resolve issues at an MCS. All capability statements shall be considered by the agency except that foreign participation is NOT permitted. Please direct any inquirioes to the primary point of contact listed above.
