Overview:
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Agile Combat Support, LAIRCM Program Office (AFLCMC/WNY), located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, will host an Industry Day on 19 November 2019 to present information regarding the replacement for our support test equipment. The LAIRCM system is a common Infrared (IR) countermeasure solution for most aircraft that are not weight and space constrained. The system protects against Surface-to-Air Missile threats that impact aircraft in vulnerable situations. The goals of the LAIRCM Industry Day are to inform industry about upcoming competition opportunities in the program, engage with industry to identify companies interested and capable of executing this replacement effort, update our programs' market research, and to provide a forum to discuss the program strategy in order to improve the quality of upcoming solicitation.
Our office is currently seeking Non-Developmental solutions to replace the current Multipurpose Electro-Optic eNd-to end (MEON) Countermeasure Test Set (CTS), as well as support from Industry regarding CTS devices that can stimulate the LAIRCM system. The Program Office will present and discuss the latest information about the replacement of the CTS to attain industry feedback in preparation for Request for Proposal (RFP) development in 2020, with contract award estimated in 2021. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code planned to be used for the replacement support equipment item is 336413 with a size standard of 1,250 employees.
