ALQ-172 LRU-21 Obsolescence Redesign

The Department of Defense, specifically the AFSC PZABB office at Robins AFB, has awarded a sole-source contract to Harris Corporation, formerly Exelis, for non-recurring engineering services. This action focuses on the form, fit, function, and interface redesign of the AN/ALQ-172 Line Replaceable Unit (LRU)-21, identified by NSN 5895-01-485-6252EW and part number 2680721G00. The primary objective of this effort is to resolve critical obsolete part and vanishing vendor issues to ensure continued operational viability. The contract was awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1 as a non-competitive action due to Harris being the only responsible source capable of performing the work. The agreement utilizes a Cost Plus Fixed Fee with Cost Reimbursement No Fee for Travel structure, with an estimated value ranging between 13.5 million and 93 million dollars. The project features a 36-month period of performance starting in May 2020, with work being performed in Clifton, New Jersey.
