The Army Contracting Command-Redstone, on behalf of the Project Manager, Aircraft Survivability Equipment (PM ASE), intends to solicit a five (5) year effort for production and support of the Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM) System and Subsystems; including software, engineering, and logistics support services. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 334511. The CIRCM Program is a U.S Army Acquisition Category 1C (ACAT 1C) program. This effort will be for the production of B-Kits which consists of two lasers, two pointer trackers, and one system processing unit and the associated software and firmware which have been tested and qualified by the U.S. Army. These B-Kits will be integrated, under this contractual effort, with an installed A-Kit on potentially all rotary wing and fixed wing aircraft within the Department of Defense. The B-Kits will be manufactured in accordance with the Government's specifications. This contract will also include repair, depot and fielding logistics for a period of five years. Software improvements and sustainment builds will also be included on this contractual effort. This effort also includes Interim Contractor Logistics Support (ICLS) for recurring Continental United Stated (CONUS)/Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) support, priority support, and system reset and repair requirements for the CIRCM systems to include Test Equipment and Support Equipment (TE/SE).
