Countermeasure Receiver ALQ-161A Band 4-8

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation Warner Robins division has awarded a sole source, firm-fixed-price, four-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract to L3Harris for the production of redesigned AN/ALQ-161 Line-Replaceable Units. Specifically, the acquisition focuses on the redesigned Receiver, Countermeasure R-2251-ALQ-161A-Band 4-8 Receiver Assembly intended for the AN/ALQ-161 Electronic Countermeasure Set utilized on B-1B bombers. This procurement was conducted using other than full and open competition procedures under the authority of FAR 6.302 and 10 USC 2304 (c)(1), as the contractor was identified as the sole responsible source due to their role as the design contractor and a lack of available government technical data. The contract, identified by solicitation number SPRWA120D0011 and NAICS code 334511, involves the delivery of critical supplies and services to maintain defensive acquisition systems. While the contracting office is located at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia, the place of performance for the production of these units is situated in Amityville, New York. This strategic acquisition ensures the continued operational capability of the B-1B bomber's electronic countermeasure systems through the procurement of specialized hardware.
