STARLite ER, AN/ZPY-1A

DESCRIPTION

 The U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) is conducting this market survey to locate potential sources to provide technical services in the functional areas of  Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) monitoring and mitigation. The Government will also need capabilities  to, track part obsolescence, mitigate obsolescence issues, and provide Configuration change documentation. The contractor shall provide technical support for the NG components to Government and Government-support personnel within and outside of the United States.

This is for a second task order on an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for a period of performance of 5 years. The U.S. Government (USG) has the STARLite ER system-level Bill of Materials, but  limited related technical data such as engineering drawings for the parts. The USG does not possess the technical data package (TDP) for the parts. The manufacturer of the parts possesses the detailed and complete technical data. Prospective sources must be able to prove that the supplies or services to be delivered will enable the STARLite ER platform to satisfy the requirement in the Government's specification. No Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE) or Government-Furnished Property (GFP) will be provided to sources to execute the contract. Sources must be able to fulfill requirements upon contract award. Reverse engineering is not applicable to this effort. Potential sources must also be able to resolve diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages or obsolescence issues.

This Market Survey is for information ONLY, and will be used for preliminary planning purposes. NO proposals are being requested or accepted with this synopsis. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals and NO contract shall be awarded from this survey. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this synopsis or any follow up information requests. The US Army is conducting this Market Survey to determine potential interest of prospective supply and service providers in a contract to provide Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) monitoring and mitigation.

The response or related questions must be sent to the Technical Point of Contact via email at steven.c.webb14.civ@army.mil with the subject line “STARLite Sources Sought Response”. No phone inquiries will be accepted either as a response to this action or for information or questions prior to submission of your response.
