Solicitation description

THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP). THERE IS NO RFP AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR ANY ACTUAL PROCUREMENT OF MATERIALS OR SERVICES. Introduction/Background: In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 5, the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), on behalf of the Program Executive Officer Integrated Warfare Systems (PEO IWS), is conducting market research to identify potential sources with the requisite capabilities to perform the design, development, manufacture, and integration of replacement test equipment for the Standard Missile-2 (SM-2) program. SM-2 is the primary extended-range air defense weapon for AEGIS cruisers and destroyers, providing a critical capability for the protection of U.S. and allied forces. The test equipment used for maintaining the SM-2 is obsolete and unsustainable. Critical legacy test stations are experiencing increasing failures, which negatively impacts missile repair throughput and fleet readiness. The Government is seeking information on potential sources for the following efforts: Replacement Test Stations: This effort includes the complete engineering redesign, material procurement, assembly, integration, and delivery of modern, sustainable replacements for the legacy Antenna Test Station (TP-6059) and Seeker Head Test Station (TP-6098). The effort includes the provision of critical spares for the new stations. New Infrared (IR) Test Capability: This effort includes designing, manufacturing, and integrating a replacement for an obsolete IR Target and Radiometer solution used for SM-2 Block IIIB Guidance Section testing. The effort includes the production of a spare unit of this capability. Information Sought: Respondents are requested to provide a capabilities statement that addresses the following areas. This statement should include sufficient detail to allow the Government to make a thorough assessment of the respondent's capabilities. Company Qualifications and Experience: Describe your company's capabilities and direct experience in the design, development, integration, and production of complex test systems of similar size and complexity to those described. Provide details on your experience managing the complete lifecycle of test equipment, including engineering redesign of legacy systems, supply chain management, Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) mitigation, and quality assurance. Describe your company's facilities, equipment, and key personnel. Include information on facility clearances and any relevant quality certifications necessary to manufacture, integrate, and test missile depot-level support equipment for the U.S. Navy. Technical Approach and Capabilities: Provide your notional technical approach to designing, manufacturing, and delivering modern, sustainable replacements for the Antenna and Seeker Test Stations.
