RFI - AN/SPY-1 radar MMSP, ALPS, WDRC, ACSSE, and EEFC

This is a Request for Information (RFI) as defined in FAR 15.201(e). The Government is  requesting information regarding industry's capabilities and related experience for engineering  and production of the Navy’s AN/SPY-1 radar Multi-Mission Signal Processor (MMSP), AEGIS Linear Processor System (ALPS), MK78 Warhead Data Receiver Cabinets (WDRC), AEGIS Combat System Support Equipment (ACSSE), and Electronic Equipment Fluid Cooler (EEFC) in FY 2024 through FY 2027. Interested sources may receive Controlled Unclassifed Information to support your RFI response upon receipt of the executed Terms of Use Agreement  (TOUA). The primary efforts include:  

1. Production of MMSP Equipment Suite Configuration Revision, which consists of three (3) RF Processor Cabinets, two (2) Digital Processor Cabinets, and one (1) Beam Steering Controller per ship, ancillary equipment, and spares.

2. Production of WDRC equipment cabinets (2 per shipset) and associated spares to include installation support material.

3. Production of ALPS cabinets, which consists of two (2) Digital Processor Cabinets, one (1) S-Band Receiver Processor, one (1) System Interface cabinet, and associated Installation and Checkout (INCO) and On-Board Allowance (OBA) spares.

4. Engineering services to update and maintain the Level 3 Technical Data Package (TDP) as defined in MIL-STD-31000.

5. Engineering test facility, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielded (Faraday cage), controlled, filtered electronic cooling system with capacity to cool multiple systems, and capable of handling classified and Communications Security (COMSEC) equipment and services to conduct MMSP, WDRC, and ALPS system level testing.

6. Production of ACSSE items including: Air Control Panels, Remote Launch Enable Panel (RLEP), Fire Inhibit Switch (FIS), Maintenance Assistance Modules (MAMS) Cabinets, Radar Synchro Generator, Waveguide Switches, and Phase Stable cables.

7. Production of EEFCs, where there are 50 Gallon Per Minute (GPM) and 100 GPM variants and configuration quantities are dependent on ship class requirements.

The USN program provides the human machine interface to allow operators access to their mission applications and related tactical requirements. This is shipboard tactical equipment which meets Navy Surface Ship Environmental Qualification Requirements (to include MIL STD-901D shock, MIL-STD-167 vibration and MIL-STD-461 EMI) for installation aboard U.S. and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) ships. The Government anticipates a majority of the work to be performed at the contractor's site.
