16 -- INTEGRATION OF CEC INTO E-2C AIRCRAFT POC Contact, Judy Simpson, Phone (703)604-6100 The Government intends to negotiate with Grumman Aerospace Corporation, South Oyster Bay Road, Bethpage, NY 11714, for the integration of the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) into E-2C aircraft. This effort will include Group I to II retrofits, Standard Depot Level Maintenance (SDLMs), installation, integration, and testing of: CEC, Satellite Communications (SATCOM), Navigation Upgrade, Mission Computer Upgrade (MCU), and Vapor Cycle. In addition, interim support, validation/verification of an Installation Data Package (IDP), and financial and administrative data will be procured. The integration and testing of the CEC into a P-3 aircraft will be procured. The Government does not own the Level III drawings for each resident subsystem within the aircraft in order to allow for full and open competition of this procurement. As the designer and sole manufacturer of the E-2C aircraft, Grumman Aerospace is the only firm with the tooling, requisite skills, knowledge of each resident subsystem, and documentation capable of completing the integration of these complex systems into existing E-2C aircraft within the required timeframe.
