- Description
- 1. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and PMA 234 plans to conduct a full and open competition for a Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) Low Band, Increment 2 (Inc 2) Transmitter Group Technology Demonstration (TGTD) contract. The purpose of this notice is to provide a general description regarding the purpose of the prospective NGJ TGTD contract, well in advance of the release of the NGJ TGTD Request for Proposals (RFP). 2. BACKGROUND: PMA 234 intends to introduce the NGJ Low Band (Inc 2) acquisition program into the DoD acquisition cycle at Milestone-B (MS-B). Entry at MS-B requires the implementation of mature technology demonstrated in a relevant environment. 3. The primary purpose of the TGTD is to gather data showing whether sufficiently mature technologies exist and, if so, that those mature technologies can be integrated into a podded solution that meets Inc 2 requirements as installed on the EA 18G. Technology demonstrations pursuant to this contract(s) are planned at multiple test facilities. The data from the demonstrations will be used to confirm assertions of technical maturity, in a relevant environment, in order to support potential program entry at MS-B. The data collected will support the maturity assessment and provide the evidence to be presented to the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) in order to receive authorization to release the RFP for the Inc 2 Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract. The data to be presented to the MDA will be the cumulative data set from contractor IR&D funded programs, government witnessed testing, and government conducted testing. 4. The TGTD contract will not be used to mature technologies, only to demonstrate the current maturity of the technologies that may be used in the Inc 2 Podded solution. 5. TGTD Contract Tentative Details: a. Competitive award to up to three offerors b. Period of performance: 18-20 Months c. RFP release: Late fourth quarter FY17/Early first quarter FY18 d. The contractor(s) will deliver existing (including IR&D-funded) data to the Government shortly after contract award in order to substantiate the maturity of the TG subsystem to be demonstrated e. The contractor(s) will be required to deliver CAD files of pod concept outer moldline(s) to allow the Government to assess impacts to EA-18G range and engine performance 6. TGTD Tentative Testing Facilities: a. The Facility for Antenna and Radar cross section Measurement (FARM), Patuxent River, MD 7. TGTD Tentative Test Scope Areas: a. Frequency coverage b. Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) c. Spatial coverage d. Spectral purity 8. NAVAIR is not seeking any information from industry in response to this notice. In the coming months, NAVAIR will provide additional information on the anticipated TGTD contract competition. 9. This is not a request for proposals. There is no commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award, or be responsible for any money expended by interested parties before award of a contract for the effort described above. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award a contract.
