- Description
- 1. This modification/amendment to announcement NGJINC2TGTD_021717 addresses the following: i) The re-designation of the effort described herein as Next Generation Jammer - Low Band, Demonstration of Existing Technologies (NGJ-LB DET); ii) The use of a Broad Agency Announcement in the conduct of the NGJ-LB DET full and open competition (FAR 6.201(d)(2)(i)); iii) The availability of a Technical Library containing data specific to NGJ-LB DET. 2. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) intends to conduct a full and open competition via Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) resulting in the award of Next Generation Jammer-Low Band, Demonstration of Existing Technologies (NGJ-LB DET) contracts. These contracts will increase the Government's knowledge and understanding with regard to existing antenna and amplifier technologies supporting an airborne, wideband (14:1), low radio frequency (RF) band jamming application where significant space, weight, power and cooling (SWAP-C) constraints exist, such as is the case on carrier-based tactical aircraft (e.g., EA-18G). 3. NAVAIR intends to introduce the NGJ-LB acquisition program into the DoD acquisition cycle at Milestone-B (MS-B). Entry at MS-B requires the implementation of mature technology demonstrated in a relevant environment. The primary purpose of the DET contracts will be to gather data showing whether sufficiently mature technologies exist and, if so, that those mature technologies can be integrated into a podded solution that meets NGJ-LB requirements as installed on the EA 18G. Technology demonstrations pursuant to this contract(s) are planned at multiple test facilities. The data from the demonstrations will be used to confirm assertions of technical maturity, in a relevant environment, in order to support potential program entry at MS-B. The data collected will support the maturity assessment and provide the evidence to be presented to the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) in order to receive authorization to release the RFP for the NGJ-LB Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract. The data to be presented to the MDA will be the cumulative data set from contractor IR&D funded programs, government witnessed testing, and government conducted testing. 4. The DET contracts will not be used to mature technologies, only to demonstrate the current maturity of the technologies that may be used in the NGJ-LB podded solution. 5. DET Contract Tentative Details: a. Competitive award to up to three offerors b. Period of performance: 18-20 Months c. BAA release: Late fourth quarter FY17/Early first quarter FY18 d. The contractor(s) will deliver existing (including IR&D-funded) data to the Government shortly after contract award in order to substantiate the maturity of the Transmitter Group (TG) subsystem to be demonstrated e. The contractor(s) will be required to deliver CAD files of pod concept outer moldline(s) to allow the Government to assess impacts to EA-18G range and engine performance 6. DET Tentative Testing Facilities: a. The Facility for Antenna and Radar cross section Measurement (FARM), Patuxent River, MD 7. DET Tentative Test Scope Areas: a. Frequency coverage b. Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) c. Spatial coverage d. Spectral purity 8. NAVAIR is not seeking any information from industry in response to this notice. In the coming months, NAVAIR will provide additional information on the anticipated DET competition. A draft NGJ-LB DET Statement of Objectives will be made available to industry on the Technical Library in late June or early July 2017, followed by release of the draft performance goals in late July or early August 2017. 9. Technical Library Information: A Technical Library (TL) of information, containing data that may be useful to potential offerors, is available to all industry partners that have a valid classified facility clearance. TL information is being provided to assist in understanding potential NGJ-LB performance goals, physical design and integration constraints, and technology needs. It will consist of unclassified and classified portions. A DD 254 and information regarding access to the TL will be provided to the Requestor no later than 5 business days following receipt of a company request and verification of valid classified facility clearance. The Government POC for this Special Notice is Sarah Littleton, AIR 2.2.1.2, sarah.littleton@navy.mil. Please refer to the above announcement number when responding to this notice. To request TL access, contact the Government POC via email with the following company information: a. Company name b. Company point of contact (POC) name, phone number and email address (commercial accounts such as Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo are not acceptable) c. Current and valid CAGE number/Central Contractor Registration (CCR) number d. A statement as to whether the company is registered by the Department of Defense, United States/Canada Joint Certification Office (i.e., have a DD 2345 approved by said agency). e. Unclassified mailing address f. Classified mailing address g. Facility Security Officer POC name, phone number, and email address If multiple company sites require access to the data, provide information requested in items 9a - g for each additional site. 10. This is not a request for proposals. There is no commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award, or be responsible for any money expended by interested parties before award of a contract for the effort described above. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award a contract.
