Description

The F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) intends to award an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the following need: The Systems Modernization Working Group (SMWG) is a joint Lockheed Martin (LM) / Joint Program Office (JPO) working level forum in which the contractor and Government review technology refresh alignments and future technology options in support of future modernization planning to enable F-35 studies for the design, development, installation/integration, testing, training, and delivery of continuous capability increments (CIs) and Blocks for the Air System. These studies can be conducted in the form of Air System Integration Assessments (ASIAs), Trade Studies, Feasibility Studies, Risk Burndown Studies, Operations Analysis (OA), and Roadmaps that can include business case analyses and enterprise drop plans via the Air System Playbook (ASP) that will be used to support future modernization planning for the F-35 air system. Additional requirements include contractor Engineering support for Phase 1.0 and Phase 2.0 of the Government led Early Lifecycle Systems Engineering (ELSE) Process up to the Pre-System Requirements Review (Pre-SRR) Checkpoint. ELSE is a digital Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approach to further understand the requirements, feasibility, air system impacts, and risk reduction activities prior to accepting a capability into the Program of Record (PoR). This acquisition is being pursued on a sole source basis under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 ""Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements"". The Government intends to award this effort to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company (Lockheed Martin), Fort Worth, TX. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the Government. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, any capability statements, proposals, or quotations received within thirty (30) days after the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government.� Lockheed Martin is the sole designer, developer, manufacturer and integrator of the F-35 aircraft and related equipment. Lockheed Martin alone has the experience, special skills, proprietary technical documentation, software/algorithms, and technical expertise required to furnish the supplies and services within the required timeframe. Accordingly, Lockheed Martin is the only known qualified and responsible source able to fulfill the requirements specified herein. Subcontracting opportunities may be available and may be sought with Lockheed Martin through the primary point of contact (Jeff McCarthy / 817-777-7758). This notice is not a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award (or awards), or be responsible for any cost incurred by interested parties prior to award of a contract for the effort described above. Information provided herein is subject to change. The data associated with the F-35 JPO is export controlled and is not available to foreign sources or representatives.
