The Air Armament Center (AAC) intends to award a sole-source Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to begin approximately the third quarter Fiscal Year (FY) 2004 to Raytheon Missile Systems Co. Inc., 1151 E. Hermans Road, Tucson, AZ 85734. The ordering period will be 5 years. The anticipated maximum dollar amount to be awarded over the entire contract period is $2.0M. This contract is for support and operation of Raytheon Missile Systems Co. Inc. produced Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) (AIM-120) test assets. This includes support for AMRAAM digital modeling and simulation; hardware-in-the-loop simulation efforts at the Eglin Guided Weapons Evaluation Facility (GWEF); pre-launch analysis; ground, captive and free flight test activities; and aircraft integration support. The intent is for the contractor to support the Test Wing's capability to provide complete AMRAAM support to its customers. The contractor shall coordinate, schedule, and provide technical support for the use of the AMRAAM special test vehicles (STV), special test equipment (STE), and test positions (TP) required to accomplish the necessary tasks. These test assets are government owned and supported/maintained by Raytheon under a separate contract. The tasks will include, but not be limited to, AMRAAM modeling and simulation (the contractor shall support the Test Wing's modeling and simulation efforts by providing and maintaining the Raytheon Missile Systems Co (RMSC) 6-DOF digital model). The contractor shall supply the AMRAAM hardware, spares, software and services required to operate, maintain, and repair the Government Simulation Hardware (GSH-C) located at the Eglin GWEF. In addition, the contractor shall maintain the hardware required to conduct HWIL evaluation on AIM-120A, AIM-120B, and AIM-120C hardware configurations. The contractor shall be responsible for planning, coordinating, scheduling, and shipping the following STV/STE, as required, to support the ground/lab test: Programmable Advanced Systems Interface Simulator (PASIS), AMRAAM Captive Equipment (ACE), Integration Test Vehicles (ITV), Initialization/Alignment Vehicle (IAV), TM Data Collection System, and Antenna Test Vehicle (ATV). The contractor shall be responsible for reconfiguring AMRAAM Air Vehicles (AAVs) into AMRAAM Air Vehicles Instrumented (AAVIs), as required to support free flight testing. The contractor shall also be responsible for reconfiguring AAVs into Warhead Compatible Telemetry Instrumented System (WCTIS) configured AAVIs to support live fire warhead testing. Tasking will include: (1) Perform any required pre-mission simulations in support of test planning, (2) Perform ACE pod premission checks, (3) During missions, perform real-time assessment of telemetry data to determine system status/readiness, and 4) Perform premission checkout of all STVs. Ground and captive testing will normally be conducted at Eglin AFB or Holloman AFB/White Sands Missile Range (WSMR). Testing at other locations may be specified by the tasking agency. The contractor shall provide test support to complement the Government's capability to conduct AMRAAM laboratory, ground, and captive testing for the purpose of verifying proper performance of the AMRAAM weapons system, including the missile-to-aircraft interface. The contractor must have a prior and detailed working knowledge of the unique equipment and software involved. This must include knowledge in (1) design and operation of the simulation hardware and STVs, (2) the interface between the STVs and the F-15/F-16 Operational Flight Programs, (3) the radar threat environments in which the F-15/F-16 operates, and (4) and the simulation hardware and its interfaces with the Air Force operated Guided Weapons Evaluation Facility located at Eglin AFB, FL. The contractor must submit evidence substantiating they possess the detailed knowledge and capabilities indicated above. If the contractor does not have Top Secret clearance with a special background investigation, response to this notice must contain proof the contractor understands the requirements for obtaining this type of clearance and that they can meet the requirements. In addition, the contractor must obtain an interim Top Secret clearance prior to award. Raytheon Missile Systems Co. Inc., is the only known existing source of the technical expertise required to support this requirement. Any offerors responding to this notice must provide evidence of capability to perform the above requirements and state their size standard. NAICS code is 541330.
