Miniaturized Airborne GPS Receiver (MAGR) 2000 Extension and Follow-on

The Global Positioning Systems Directorate, Miniaturized Airborne GPS Receiver (MAGR) 2000 Program, is considering an extension of the current Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) production contract through December 2011. Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems is currently the sole source manufacturer of MAGR 2000. The Government is also considering the award of a follow-on IDIQ production contract to Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems. The NAICs code for the follow-on action is 334511 and the small business size standard is 750 employees. The Government does not own the MAGR 2000 "Production Build" drawing/specifications and has no R&D dollars available for this follow-on contract. Any change in receiver specifications would also result in a loss of interoperability with existing platform integrations and substantial costs associated with fielding multiple receivers (integration, training, spares, sustainment, etc.). Finally, the Government needs uninterrupted MAGR 2000 support starting at contract award. However, the final acquisition approach for the aforementioned follow-on contract is dependent on the results of this Sources Sought. The period of performance of the new contract is estimated to be from January 2012 to 30 Sep 2016. It is also anticipated that program responsibility will have transferred to Warner Robins Air Logistics Center by or shortly after award of the new contract. The effort to be extended on contract FA8807-05-D-0001 is as follows: (1) hardware procurement of MAGR 2000 S-24s, (2) hardware procurement of MAGR mounts (isolated and un-isolated), (3) hardware upgrade of MAGR 2000 and MAGR 2000S configurations to the MAGR 2000-S24, (4) Quick Reaction Support (QRS) (5) Program Management, (6) Engineering Analysis support CLINs, (7) MAGR 2000 (all configurations) repair, (8) Engineering Change Proposal capability and (9) Contract Data Requirement Line (CDRL) Items. The contract extension will be Firm Fixed Price (FFP) for all CLINs with the exception of Quick Reaction Support (QRS). QRS CLINs will be Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF). The Government anticipates the ordering period of the contract extension to run through December 2011 with production deliveries NLT five months after contract award through 30 September 2012. The anticipated follow-on Indefinite Quantity Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) production contract will provide for: (1) hardware procurement of MAGR 2000-S24, (2) hardware procurement of MAGR 2000 Mounts (isolated and un-isolated), (3) hardware upgrade of earlier configurations to MAGR 2000-S24 and (4) repair of MAGR 2000s, MAGR 2000-S, and MAGR 2000-S24, (5) QRS, (6) Technical Services, (7) Precise Positioning Service (PPS) Certification (MSO C-145) of MAGR 2000-S24, (8) transition to organic hardware depot to include Government purpose rights in technical data for repairs, (9) transition to organic software support to include Government purpose rights in computer software (source code) and computer software documentation for support, (10) Engineering Change Proposal capability and (11) CDRL Items. All CLINs will be FFP with the exception of QRS and Technical Services. These CLINs will be CPFF. There will not be a separate Program Management CLIN. Estimated Quantities MAGR 2000-S24: 508 Mounts: 120 Production Upgrades: 266 Repairs: 808 Quick Reaction Support (Hrs): 2000 Technical Services (Hrs): 2800 There will be NO funded development effort associated with the extension of the current contract and anticipated award of a new production contract.
