Site Visit information and Draft RFP for Alaska Radar System Operations and Maintenance

Alaska Radar System (ARS) Operation and Maintenance.
The requirement consists of operations and maintenance of 15 geographically separated long-range radar sites (accessible by air and/or seasonal barge), three remote radio sites, and the Maintenance Control and Communications Center (MC3) activities of the Regional Air Operations Center (RAOC) at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. The radar operations are in direct support of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and the United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) mission for air sovereignty within Alaska and provide civil aircraft information to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The ARS requirement is categorized by two distinct NAICS; which are, 561210 Facilities Support Services (and) 517810 All Other Telecommunications. Both industries are critical to the success of the ARS mission and cannot be segregated into separate requirements without unreasonable cost, schedule, and performance risk to the Government.
