The GPS JSSMO intends to award a five year, Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract for production, sustainment, modification, and engineering services of the MAGR-2K receiver. Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems is currently the sole source manufacturer of MAGR-2K. Raytheon's MAGR-2K was a follow-on procurement to the Rockwell-Collins MAGR. The initial MAGR-2K contract, F04701-98-D-0028, was awarded 30 Nov 1998 by Space and Missile Center to Raytheon to produce a GPS Receiver Application Module (GRAM)-based MAGR-2K to replace the Rockwell-Collins MAGR. The MAGR-2K was procured as a Non-Developmental Item (NDI) Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) to provide enhanced positioning accuracy and feedback on the quality of the position accuracy while being backward-compatible in form, fit, function and interfaces to its MAGR predecessor. The MAGR-2K is a receiver of highly modular design. All functional elements have connectors that permit easy removal and replacement during maintenance operations. The MAGR-2K software provides functional backward compatibility by converting the standard GRAM data interfaces into MAGR-2K data interfaces. In addition, it performs the area navigation function and provides the basic control functions.
Any change in receiver specifications could result in a loss of interoperability with existing platform integrations and generate substantial costs (integration, training, spares, sustainment, etc.) associated with fielding multiple receivers. Finally, the Government needs uninterrupted MAGR-2K support starting at contract award. The period of performance for the new contract is estimated to be from 30 October 2017 to 30 September 2022.
The requirements for the anticipated contract include production, repair, modification and engineering services activities to support all variants of the MAGR-2K, including those components currently fielded, in production as well as components currently undergoing development for the JSSMO, AFLCMC/WNYBC. Specifically, the contract will provide for: 1) hardware procurement of MAGR-2Ks and M-Coded MAGR-2Ks, otherwise known as MAGR-2K-M; 2) repairs of MAGR-2Ks and MAGR-2K-Ms and 3) engineering services. The contractor shall provide all facilities, personnel, equipment, tools, materials (except for Government Furnished Property identified in the request for proposal), vehicles, supervision and all other items and services necessary to perform all program management, production, repair and engineering services.
