16 -- AN/APS-145 Radar Set Integration Support

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) plans to issue a sole-source delivery order under the existing Basic Ordering Agreement with Lockheed Martin Corporation Maritime Systems & Sensors for engineering and technical support services related to the AN/APS-145 Radar Set. Lockheed Martin, as the original equipment manufacturer, will provide systems engineering support to the PMA-231 Mission Avionics Integrated Product Team, covering the full spectrum of activities including acquisition, development, testing, production, deployment, and ongoing lifecycle maintenance of the radar system. This effort is critical to ensuring the radar's operational effectiveness and continued advancement within Navy platforms. The contract falls under the NAICS code 336411, reflecting aerospace product and parts manufacturing, and is managed by the Naval Air Systems Command office located in Patuxent River, Maryland. The solicitation for this task was first posted in August 2006, with contract specialists Tara E Flores and Deborah A Flaherty listed as points of contact. The work emphasizes the importance of maintaining and enhancing the AN/APS-145 Radar Set, a key component for maritime mission avionics, through continuous engineering support directly from the original manufacturer to meet the Navy's operational requirements.
