AI Contract Overview

The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), through its Air Combat Electronic Program Office (PMA-209), intends to issue an order under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement with Rockwell Collins Government Systems (RCGS) to develop a software reprogramming capability for the C-12561A Remote Control Unit (RCU) used with the RT-1851(C) radio. Currently, the C-12561A RCU software is only reprogrammable using a Rockwell Collins-specific kit, and not with the fleet’s standard AN/USQ-131 support equipment, which is compatible with the RT-1794(C) and RT-1824(C) radios. This effort aims to enable reprogramming of the C-12561A RCU via the RT-1851(C) radio using the AN/USQ-131, ensuring compatibility with existing fleet tools and accommodating the enhanced features of the RT-1851(C). The task involves developing, testing, validating, verifying, certifying, and documenting a new software load for the RT-1851(C) to support this capability. The work period is expected to continue through September 30, 2004. This procurement is pursued under a sole-source justification, as RCGS is the only manufacturer capable of providing this software for their radios, having previously supplied software for ARC-210 radios under a separate contract. The contract reflects NAVAIR’s responsibility for acquisition and logistics support of Air Combat Electronics programs and emphasizes the necessity of integrating fleet-compatible reprogramming solutions to support operational needs.

Full Description

This is a notice of intent by the Naval Air Systems Command, Air Combat Electronic Program Office )PMA-209) to issue an order under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-03-G-6550 with Rockwell Collins Government Systems (RCGS), 400 Collins Road NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52498. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is assigned responsibility for the planning, programming, budgeting, procurement, installation, operation, and support of the Air Combat Electronics programs. Within NAVAIR, PMA-209 is assigned overall Program Management responsibility for the acquisition and logistics support being provided by both field activities and NAVAIR personnel. The Rockwell Collins C-12561A Remote Control Unit (RCU) is currently used by the RT-1794(C)/RT-1824(C) radios. The software for the C-12561A can only be reprogrammed using the Rockwell Collins RCU reprogramming kit and not by current fleet support equipment (AN/USQ-131). The Rockwell Collins RT-1794(C) & RT-1824(C) can be reprogrammed using the AN/USQ-131. The RT-1851(C) radio will use the C-12561A for remote control, but will require a separate and distinct software load to control the added features and capabilities present in the RT-1851(C). The tasking to be provided under this order will be for the development of the capability of reloading the C-12561A RCU via the RT-1851(C) using existing fleet available support equipment AN/USQ-131. The RT-1851(C) software reprogramming capability shall be compatible with current fleet reprogramming tools. The C-12561A RCU reload via RT-1851(C) effort will require the development, test, validation, verification, certification, and documentation of a new software load for the RT-1851(C). The period of performance is anticipated to be through 30 September 2004. This requirement will be procured in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirements. The ARC-210 radios were previously procured under another contract vehicle and RCGS is the only manufacturer that can provide this software for the utilization on their radios.
