LANTIRN POD SUPPORT EQUIPMENT ENGINEERING SERVICES

The Government is conducting market research (Request For Information for Planning Purposes only) to identify potential sources that possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements of engineering services for the sustainment of LANTIRN Navigation Pod Support Equipment. Sustainment consists of the evaluation and resolution of system maintenance deficiencies, resolution of parts obsolescence deficiencies, development of engineering change proposals, review of Government engineering change proposals, performance of sustainment studies, and technical services in support of the analysis and resolution of system supportability deficiencies for use by the United States Air Force. The Precision Attack Technical Coordination Program (TCP) provides ongoing support equipment sustainment and repair including related documentation plus software support for the three member nations that operate various configurations of LANTIRN pods. The TCP furnishes legacy LANTIRN test equipment parts repair for these client countries under various repairable item procurements. The newer advanced configurations require even more specialized support that is not totally available through USAF depot repair channels. Targeting and Navigating Pods currently supported by the Precision Attack (TCP) include the Navigation Pod, AN/AAQ-13; Target Pod, AN/AAQ-14; Sharpshooter, AN/AAQ-14(V1); and Pathfinder, AN/AAQ-20 that make-up the Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) systems. The TCP's prime responsibility is to ensure the availability for a comprehensive sustainment source. The Government does not own or have access to the data for these items. The Government has determined that this system is not a commercial item. No samples are available to evaluate. Additional details are in attached Request For Information and Performance Work Statement.
