Engineeering Services to Support Sustainment of the AN/ALR-56C Weapons System

The Air Force Sustainment Center at Robins Air Force Base plans to award a firm-fixed price contract valued over a seven-month period for engineering services that support the sustainment of the AN/ALR-56C weapons system. These services specifically involve updating the operational flight software of the ALR-56C redesign to align with the avionics software currently in use on F-15C/E aircraft. The contract will be awarded to British Aerospace Enterprises, a division of BAE Systems Information & Electronic Systems Integration Inc., under a sole-source procurement authority due to the Government’s lack of rights to the necessary procurement data that would enable competition. This initiative stems from the need to maintain and update critical avionics software to ensure the AN/ALR-56C system’s continued operational capability. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541330 and is governed by the stipulations of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, allowing negotiation with a single source. The designated contracting officer for this action is Janice M. Williams, who can be contacted for further information. This contract reflects a targeted effort to leverage specialized expertise from a proprietary source to sustain a vital component of Air Force avionics infrastructure.
