- Description
- Naval Air Systems Command negotiated and awarded a sole source contract modification to Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) to provide Field Service Representatives (FSR), Mission Operator Pallet (MOP) system software, design, manufacture, test, and installation of Harvest Hercules Airborne Weapons Kit (HAWK) Plus (HH+) Engineering Change Proposal Windows 10 Cyber Security upgrade, program management functions in support of the HH+ program, and provide spares package(s), known globally as a Pack Up Kit (PUK). The Windows 10 Cyber Security upgrade addresses cyber security vulnerabilities. The FSR will provide 24/7 world-wide telephonic technical assistance in the resolution of fielded system problems related to the troubleshooting, maintenance, or operation of installed HH+ weapons, sensor, network, processing, and communications equipment. The PUK contents have been previously identified in both type and quantity by previous award, the Government intends to duplicate this package to maintain configuration control of the PUK. The Government intends to award a sole source acquisition under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, ""Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements�. Implementation and operation of the weapon and sensor systems that provide the Close Air Support and Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance capability on the KC-130J aircraft is performed via the integrated SNC Burma software suite. SNC is the sole designer, developer, manufacturer and integrator of the Burma software suite. In order to meet the engineering and logistics requirements, technical data associated with the Burma software, is required to define, control, and document all physical, electrical, structural, software and functional interfaces between the KC-130J aircraft systems and software. The technical data is proprietary to SNC, which is unwilling to sell the technical data. As a result, SNC is the only source that possesses the requisite knowledge, experience, and technical data to perform the required efforts. Integration of Windows 10 will affect the interoperability of the Harvest HAWK Plus System thus requiring changes to Burma software. Access to this software is proprietary in nature and only available to SNC. The FSR will require internal access via the Burma software to isolate the problems associated with system faults. Access to this software is proprietary in nature and only available to SNC. PUK contents are SNC specific HH+ weapons replaceable assemblies and unique configured parts to integrate and operate with the MOP. Unless otherwise stated herein, no additional written information is available.
