The 696th ARSS plans to award a Sole Source Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract with Raytheon Missile Systems Company to provide support on the AMRAAM AIM-120D. This effort is comprised of four (4) distinct tasks. The first is to provide the necessary technical support to the Operational Test community in the conduct of the AIM-120D operational testing. The second is to provide the necessary technical support associated with an AIM-120D captive carry reliability program. The third is to provide the additional/enhanced data requested by the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation. Finally, the fourth task is to provide the necessary technical services associated with integrating the AIM-120D on to the non-SDD USAF and USN aircraft. This effort requires access to Raytheon Company proprietary data, existing test equipment and production facilities. The period of performance is 48 months.
