Description

The U.S. Army is soliciting for a Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP)/Initial Full Rate Production contract for the Suite of Integrated RF Countermeasures (SIRFC) program. SIRFC was developed by ITT Avionics under the Advanced Development and Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase. The SIRFC is a state-of-the-art, light weight, fully integrated RF situational awareness/countermeasures system designed to protect aviation assets against Pulse, Pulse Doppler, Pulse Compression and Continuous Wave weapon systems and to accomplish data fusion for Target Cueing, Target Hand-off, Pre-emptive ECM and Terminal mode ECM. The system is comprised of the following components: Receiver-Processor; Transmitter, Countermeasures; Modulator-Receiver; four Antenna Assembly (Receive); Antenna Assembly (Blade); four Antenna (Transmit); four Amplifier-Converter (Receive); Amplifier-Converter (Blade); and Electronic Component Assembly, RF Switch Tray Assembly. SIRFC utilizes advanced technologies to include: Standard Electronic Modules, Format E (SEM-E); Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC); Analog Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC), Digital Gate Arrays, Multichip Modules (MCMs); Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) processors; ferrite stripline technology; Dual Spiral Antennas; Mosfet Power Devices; and light weight materials. The Government is not in possession of a Level III technical data package to support the SIRFC hardware. In addition, SIRFC contains independently developed ITT Avionics, EMS and BAE proprietary technical data. The system will be procured to Prime Item and Critical Item Product Function (Performance) Specifications at the Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) level. The Government anticipates a seven (7)year Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Type contract with an estimated maximum quantity of 100 systems. Estimated contract award is 2QFY02 with system deliveries commencing 18-22 months after receipt of order (ARO). The contract will include requirements for Contractor Logistics Support (CLS), Contractor Software Support, Test and Evaluation including Reliability Demonstration Testing (RDT) and First Article Testing (FAT), initial spares, technical data package development and test support. Additional time and material CLINs will be added for parts obsolesence, technology insertion efforts, and documentation. For more information contact Mr. Robert Tully, (732)427-2311 or robert. tully@mail1.monmouth.army.mil. Deadline for this response is 22 December 2000. See Note 22 and 26.
