Blue Box HD Sustainment under Predator Mission Aircrew Training System (PMATS)

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Simulators Division (AFLCMC/WNS), anticipates awarding a modification to contract FA8621-13-C-6323 as a sole source contract action to L-3 Communications Corporation, for the sustainment of Blue Box HDTM (BBHDTM) devices previously purchased under the Predator Mission Aircrew Training System (PMATS) base contract and future BBHD acquisitions in support of Predator Aircrew Mission requirements. The requirements include: maintain concurrency with proprietary software associated with BBHDTM, establish or maintain relationship with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of MQ-1/9 Ground Control Stations (GCS), Operational Flight Program (OFP) updates at 4 per year, and maintain the devices at PMATS locations. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. L-3 Communications has been identified as the only firm that possesses the necessary knowledge, experience, and technical capability required to perform this effort. The Government does not own full data rights for the system; therefore to avoid duplication costs, the Government intends to award the effort pursuant to the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. Any responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. The point of contact for this action is AFLCMC/WNSK, 2300 D Street, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433-7249, Attn: Adam.Boggs@us.af.mil, (937) 255-4368.
