A -- Rapid Attack Identification, Detection, and Reporting System (RAIDRS) Spiral-1 Draft-RFP Release #2

The Government's purpose of this announcement is to proceed with continued pre-solicitation activities for RAIDRS Spiral-1 (RS-1) by providing an updated Draft-RFP, intended for interested offerors on or about 1 Oct 2004. Through market research via previous sources sought announcements, the government has set-aside the RS-1 requirement for small business. Upon eventual solicitation release (currently planned for 25 Oct 2004), the Government anticipates a 30-day response time for proposal submittal. The goal for this future solicitation will be a competitive award without discussions. To achieve this, the Government is actively engaging the contractor community to ensure thorough understanding of the requirements and objectives. Capabilities for the RS-1 contract include design, development, integration, testing, production, deployment, support, maintenance, and operations of a worldwide system generating reports on SATCOM Radio-Frequency (RF) Interference Detection, Characterization, and Geo-Location. Interested parties should contact Capt Amy Esparza at (310) 416-1636 or via email at amy.esparza1@losangeles.af.mil. Please include in your reply, business size, phone number and mailing address.
