ECP6368R1

The Naval Air Systems Command PMA-265 plans to award a sole source contract modification to Boeing under contract N00019-10-C-0078 for the implementation of ECP6368R1. This effort involves integrating Mode 5 Level 2 interrogator and transponder capabilities, as well as Mode S transponder-only capability, into U.S. Navy and Foreign Military Sales F/A-18 aircraft equipped with the CIT system and running Operational Flight Program Software Configuration Set 27X. The integration supports achieving U.S. Mode 5 Joint Full Operational Capability by fiscal year 2020. Boeing is the sole qualified contractor able to meet the stringent schedule requirements, and the contract will be negotiated under FAR 6.302-1 due to this unique capability. This ongoing project requires parties to have approved facilities and cleared personnel capable of meeting the government's security and timing criteria. Prospective respondents must demonstrate their qualifications and ability to comply with the response timeline through a Statement of Qualifications. The work will be performed in Saint Louis, Missouri, under the oversight of the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division located in Patuxent River, Maryland. The contract specialist managing this procurement is Joanna L Schwab, who can be contacted for further details.
