Solicitation # N0038326QNB34

Contract N0038326QNB34 is a presolicitation for the repair or modification of 11 antenna couplers under NSN 7R-5985-015855349-P8, with delivery terms set as FOB Origin. Due to the flight critical nature of the parts and the fact that essential technical data and manufacturing knowledge are held by specific sources, this requirement necessitates engineering source approval by the design control activity.

Prospective bidders who are not currently approved sources must submit detailed qualification information as outlined in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Source Approval Information Brochures. Failure to provide the required data or proof of a pending application will result in the proposal not being considered for award.

AI Contract Overview

The E-4B MB1 AIU Obsolescence Upgrade is an Undefinitized Contract Action designed to replace obsolete components and maintain mission capability for the E-4B platform. Due to the discovery of substantial component shortfalls during the procurement of the final Mod Block 1 Audio Infrastructure Upgrade Kit, a cost plus fixed fee contract was established. This specific contract type was selected because the government has not previously purchased these specific items or services and must address critical hardware and software gaps. Raytheon is designated as the sole provider for this effort because they are the only supplier of a Defense Red Switch Network approved multilevel security switch with Voice Over IP capabilities. The aircraft's strict size, weight, power, and cooling restrictions necessitate the use of Raytheon's proprietary software and hardware, including the Time Divisional Multiple Access Backplane and Enhanced Control Console software. Because the government does not own the software data rights, Raytheon's specialized knowledge and proprietary technology are required to integrate and test the upgrade to ensure operational viability.

Full Description

The MB1 AIU Obsolescence Upgrade Undefinitized Contract Action (UCA) will address the obsolete components to ensure mission capability. The determination to use a cost plus fixed fee contract resulted from substantial obsolescence discovered during procurement of the final Mod Block 1 (MB1) Audio Infrastructure Upgrade (AIU) Kit. Subsequently, an E-4B Equipment Obsolescence Study was initiated to determine appropriate courses of action to overcome component shortfalls. Since the E-4B Platform has never purchased these items or services before, a cost plus fixed fee contract was chosen. Raytheon is the only supplier of multilevel security (MLS) switch with Voice Over IP (VOIP) capabilities to the Defense Red Switch Network (DRSN). No other MLS switch is DRSN approved. Due to size, weight, power and cooling restrictions aboard the aircraft, the E-4B requires a DRSN approved MLS to support mission requirements. The DRSN is unique in that its switching systems provide the capability for multilevel secure (MLS) calling and conferencing as well as multilevel precedence and pre-emption (MLPP). Raytheon owns proprietary software technology that is required to meet certain secure communications requirements. Raytheon provides a proprietary Time Divisional Multiple Access (TDMA) Backplane to allow processing at multiple classifications simultaneously, Enhanced Control Console software to configure the Red Switch with preloaded and on-the-fly mission profiles for Secret and Top Secret SCI point-to-point secure communications. As the AIU subcontractor to the Boeing MB1effort, Raytheon designed and produced the Audio Infrastructure Upgrade for the E-4B. This required Raytheon proprietary software to manufacture the AIU equipment, specialized knowledge/training to perform integration of the kit components as well as testing to insure operational viability. At the time of the MB1 installation the Government did not purchase the software data rights as it was not deemed cost effective. The MB1 AIU Obsolescence Upgrade will build upon the legacy AIU architecture with proprietary software and data.
