- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare AN/PLT-4 Replacement Notice Type: Request for Information Solicitation Number: N00174-18-SN-0025 Posted Date: 13 Jul 2018 Response Date: 13 Sep 2018 Classification Code: A - Research & Development Contracting Office Address: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes. It does not constitute a solicitation (Request for Proposal or Request for Quotations) or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Furthermore, we are not at this time seeking proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the responding party's expense. All information received in response to this RFI that is marked PROPRIETARY will be handled accordingly. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for any proprietary information not properly identified. Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with the applicable Government regulations. Proprietary information or trade secrets should be clearly identified. Description: The Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD), Indian Head, Maryland is in the planning phase for the replacement of the AN/PLT-4 in FY21. NSWC IHEODTD is requesting information with the intention of identifying technologies that could replace the second generation RF jammer AN/PLT-4 with a third generation system. The third generation system shall provide the operator a way to transmit broadband radio frequency signals simultaneously across the intended frequency spectrum. This RFI solicits vendor input concerning the risk drivers associated with the development of such a system and determining if the desired requirements are attainable. This RFI seeks information on commercially available technology that could be directly applied, or readily integrated, to meet requirements. Submissions should fully explain technological features, capabilities, and performance as specified in the classified Requirements Summary document. Commercial, non-developmental, and developmental systems may be included in the information provided. If the vendor does not have a current solution, but has a concept that could meet requirements, submit the concept to include the strategy, risks and challenges it would take to meet requirements. The Government is also interested in the state of technology for related systems in development and for systems which may not fully meet all requirements. Non-developmental systems are preferred, but developmental systems (which can be available two to three years after FY21 program initiation) are also of interest. Submissions: Documents, questions, responses or requests containing sensitive security information must be handled according to established procedures for unclassified and classified information. Information may be submitted in the form of white papers, test reports, PowerPoint presentations, and specification sheets. Please limit your response to no more than 30 pages, excluding any title and cover pages. Replies must be received no later than 13 Sep 2018, 12:00 pm. Interested firms / research entities are encouraged to provide unclassified submissions electronically to kelly.swann@navy.mil with a copy to chris.vazquetelles@navy.mil. Classified submissions can be submitted electronically to kelly.swann@navy.smil.mil with a copy to chris.vazquetelles@navy.smil.mil. Classified printed submissions can be mailed in accordance with, DoDM 5200.01, Volume 3, Enclosure 4: Transmission and Transportation to: Outer Label: NSWC IHEODTD Office of Security, Attn.

All responses must include the RFI number in the email subject line. Include a cover page identifying the name of business, cage code, DUNS number, business size, RFI number, unique title, technology area(s), names, addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses of technical/business points of contacts. Technical Description Format: All interested sources shall respond by providing capability statements outlining technical specifications and a technical summary, along with cost and schedule estimates for the development of a new system or upgrades to an existing system to meet the stated requirements in the classified Requirements Summary document. The capability statement shall include the following information. •1. System picture, diagram, or line drawing: Provide an image, or notional image of the system, preferably a view that gives a fair representation of the system size. •2. Technology: Describe the technology proposed. Additionally, if a system currently exists, elaborate on modifications necessary to meet the stated requirements. •3. System Parameters: Provide the current operating specifications of any current system in regard to the parameters identified in the classified Requirements Summary document. •4. Risk: Identify and discuss those parameters/requirements that are un-executable. Additionally, identify and discuss those requirements that drive risk to cost, schedule, and/or performance (e.g., weight, operational time, frequency range, size, power, etc.). •5. Limitations/Hazards/Special Requirements: State any special limitations, hazards and/or special requirements such as power sources or operating temperatures and their respective characteristics. •6. Special Features/Capabilities : Summarize any special features or capabilities not contained in the requirements that will improve the overall effectiveness and performance of the system. Identify risk areas to any of these features or capabilities. •7. Narrative of System Employment Concepts: Include the conceptual mechanism by which the system accomplishes its functions and detailed employment of techniques/methods. •8. Include vendor assessment of Technology Readiness Level of system. •9. Provide rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost and schedule for the development of a new or modification of an existing system.
