At its highest level, the AN/USQ-78(V) Upgrade Kit is defined to contain the Display Control Unit/Analyzer Sub Unit developed under the P-3C Block Modification Upgrade Program (BMUP), two Color High Resolution Displays (CHRDs) common with Anti-Surface Warfare Improvement Program (AIP), two Programmable Entry Panels (PEPs) common with AIP, and delivery of necessary computer programs on suitable media. The P-3C Update III USQ-78(V) Installation Kit is defined to include a modified/replacement E1 electronics rack; parts, materials and assemblies as may be required to modify racks for the installation of CHRDs and PEPs; and any new or modified interconnecting cabling required for proper system operation. Under the proposed effort, the contractor will: 1) Procure, manufacture and modify as necessary 2 system A-Kits and B-kits in FY04 with additional options of up to 78 units through FY08; 2) Perform subsystem integration and verification efforts; 3) Provide material, equipment, and data required to satisfy P-3C Update III USQ-78(V) Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) Logistics Management Information (LMI) requirements; 4) Provide technical support and problem resolution during the period of Government conducted Integration and Regression Testing; 5) Install A-Kits/B-Kits procured into P-3C UDIII aircraft; 6) Provide technical support and data during production and aircraft installation; and 7) Provide plans, data, testing, analyses, reports, and other efforts' attendant to the preceding tasks.This action will be negotiated on a sole source basis with LM NE&SS-US under the statutory authority of FAR 6.302-1 (only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements), as LM NE&SS-US teamed with The Boeing Company (Integrated Defense Systems). LM NE&SS-US is the designer, developer, and sole manufacturer of the AN/USQ-78(V) Acoustic Processor being used in the P-3C III aircraft and is the only known source with the knowledge, experience, and technical data necessary to perform this effort in a timely and cost effective manner within the required schedule constraints.
