- Description
- 1.0 Introduction The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), on behalf of the V-22 Joint Program Office under the Program Executive Office Air Anti-Submarine Warfare, Assault & Special Mission Programs (PEO(A)), is issuing this Sources Sought notice to conduct market research. The Government is seeking to identify parties with the capability to design, fabricate, and deliver prototype and Validation/Verification (Val/Ver) A-kits for the Joint Tactical Terminal - Next Generation (JTT-NG) system, and to integrate these kits with Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) B-kits for installation and testing on the CV-22 Osprey aircraft platform. This effort includes the non-recurring engineering (NRE) necessary to support these tasks. 2.0 Disclaimer THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE. THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS ISSUED AS MARKET RESEARCH SOLELY FOR INFORMATION AND PLANNING PURPOSES � IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) OR A PROMISE TO ISSUE AN RFP IN THE FUTURE.

THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BELOW IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THE FINAL REQUIREMENT WILL BE DEFINED UNDER A FORMAL RFP. FURTHER, THE NAVY IS NOT AT THIS TIME SEEKING PROPOSALS AND WILL NOT ACCEPT UNSOLICITED PROPOSALS. RESPONDENTS ARE ADVISED THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT PAY FOR ANY INFORMATION OR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS INCURRED IN RESPONSE TO THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH RESPONDING TO THIS SOURCES SOUGHT WILL BE SOLELY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE INTERESTED PARTY.

IF A SOLICITATION IS RELEASED, IT WILL BE SYNOPSIZED ON SAM.GOV. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE POTENTIAL OFFERORS TO MONITOR THIS WEBSITE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THIS REQUIREMENT. 3.0 Background The JTT-NG is a multi-service, multi-platform Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) terminal. Attachment (1) JTT-NG Interface Control Document (ICD), provides further details on the system requirements. The objective of this effort is the design, fabrication, and delivery of the necessary A-kits, and the subsequent integration of the complete JTT-NG system (A-kit and GFE B-kit) onto the CV-22 aircraft. This will enhance mission capabilities by providing access to a broader range of tactical intelligence and Indication and Warning data. This integration is necessitated by the impending obsolescence of the legacy Integrated Broadcast System currently installed on the aircraft. The JTT-NG system has been identified as the successor system to meet both current and future operational mandates that the legacy IBR system cannot satisfy. The primary deliverables for this effort will be prototype A-kits for flight test and Validation/Verification. The Contractor shall integrate a Government-provided B-kit system with the contractor-designed and fabricated A-kits. The integration of the system entails providing intelligence information to the aircrew on a �glass� cockpit. To produce these kits and their required supporting data, the Contractor shall perform all associated NRE. As part of this NRE, the Contractor shall develop and deliver the final Interface Control Documents, software documents, hardware design documents, and an Installation Drawing Package. The Contractor shall conduct all Systems Engineering Technical Reviews, consisting of Systems Requirements Review, Preliminary Design Review, Critical Design Review, and a Functional Configuration Audit. The Contractor shall also deliver a draft Engineering Change Proposal with Form 1692 and provide inputs for the Time Compliance Technical Order. The Contractor shall provide a complete Technical Data Package to support the Request For Interim Flight Clearance and future procurement of production kits, in addition to a training data package and a support and sustainment data package. The Government will provide the B-Kit, consisting of the Base Transceiver Unit (BXU), Exciter Power Amplifier (EPA), and BXU Mounting Tray. The Contractor shall be responsible for the installation of the complete JTT-NG system (A-kits and B-kits) for the prototype and Val/Ver units. Following installation, the Contractor shall perform a successful functional test of the installed systems and shall provide engineering labor to support on-aircraft government testing. The Contractor will be required to manage CLASSIFIED/SECRET/COMSEC CONTROL ITEMs due to the classification of the JTT-NG hardware and shall sign a DD254 with the Government to satisfy security requirements. The effort must abide by the V-22 Systems Engineering Plan, Configuration Management Plan, etc. 4.0 Eligibility The applicable North American Industry Classification System code is 336413 with a Small Business Size standard of 1,250 employees. The Product Service Code is 1680. Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to respond; however, each respondent must clearly identify their business size (see paragraph 5.0).

Accordingly, respondents to this notice must provide substantiation of their ability to access and utilize the relevant JASS software in a manner that is fully consonant with all governing data rights agreements and intellectual property laws, thereby ensuring a competitive and compliant procurement. Interested parties must already have access to the CV-22 aircraft configuration model so that the JTT-NG and the related Hardware install locations can be determined and the necessary analysis can be conducted. 5.0 Requested Information Interested parties must submit their response with any supporting documentation to include the following: An UNCLASSIFIED or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) description of the respondent�s general capabilities to support this effort including licensing agreements with Boeing or Raytheon (System Integration Lab) to allow access to technical data.
