AI Contract Overview

The Naval Air Systems Command's Air Combat Electronics Program Office (PMA-209) plans to issue an order under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement with Rockwell Collins Government Systems for the procurement of MLV-32 Software designed for the AN/ARC-210 radios. The contract authorizes Rockwell Collins to provide unrestricted licensing for up to 1,000 U.S. Navy airborne platforms, enabling these systems to operate the proprietary software on the AN/UYK-76 Structural Data Recording System laptop. The software's primary function is to facilitate the loading of the Operational Flight Program of specific communication systems (RT-1794(c)/ARC and RT-1824(c)/ARC) via the MIL-STD 1553B Bus, ensuring operational readiness aboard Navy aircraft. Additionally, the contractor is tasked with providing test and evaluation support, including demonstrating the successful loading of the software onto the communication systems. The performance period for this contract is expected to run through September 30, 2003. The procurement will be conducted under authority allowing for a sole-source acquisition, recognizing that Rockwell Collins is the exclusive provider capable of supplying this software due to its proprietary nature and prior engagements involving the ARC-210 radio systems. This limitation underscores the necessity of contracting directly with Rockwell Collins to meet the agency’s critical operational requirements.
