Special Notice to Contractors Concerning F-15 Electronic Warfare (EW) System Requirements

The Air Force is expressing openness to receiving contractor requests for collaboration on advancing electronic warfare (EW) technologies specifically aimed at future enhancements of the F-15 Eagle Passive/Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS). This communication clarifies that such interactions, which may include ongoing technical discussions or access to government labs and equipment, will occur on a non-interference basis and at no cost to the Government. It also emphasizes that this notice is purely informational to signal the Air Force’s willingness to consider contractor input and is not a solicitation or request for proposals, nor does it create any obligation for the Government to issue a contract related to the F-15 EW system. Contractors are not required to utilize any Government resources to be eligible for potential contracts, and the notice invites interested parties to direct any program-related queries to the F-15 EPAWSS Program Manager, Lt Col Jason Voorheis, or any contractual questions to the Contracting Officer, Michael McCreanor. The intent is to provide a transparent avenue for industry engagement in the development of future F-15 EW systems while maintaining clear boundaries on the Government’s current procurement plans.
