The scope includes program management, systems and software engineering, test and evaluation, field engineering, jamming techniques development, training, fleet support, and laboratory services, all requiring a Top Secret facility clearance. This action follows a sources sought notice issued to determine if any other entities can meet the stringent requirements, though the government has indicated that competition is not feasible due to the highly specialized nature of the system and the OEM’s irreplaceable role. Firms may submit capability statements by the deadline, detailing their experience, resources, and business classification, but submissions are strictly voluntary and do not constitute a solicitation or obligation to award a contract. All responses must be sent via email to the listed point of contact, formatted as a single document not exceeding ten pages with a minimum twelve-point font, and may require use of a secure DoD SAFE Drop-off link if they include Controlled Unclassified Information. The contract number referenced is N6893621D0009, with the NAICS code 541330, and the work will support both domestic and foreign military sales efforts across multiple domains including laboratory, ground, and flight testing environments.
