DOD - Acquisition Support Services - Market Research

The AFLCMC/WNA-ATS division is seeking acquisition support services for the development and procurement of a Common Armament Tester-Fighter (CAT-F) to replace twelve legacy Intermediate and Organizational Level armament testers. The CAT-F acquisition strategy aims to provide multiple United States Air Force (USAF) fighter aircraft with leading-edge technology to ensure the reliability of armament circuits on Stores Management Systems (SMSs) and associated Alternate Mission Equipment (AME). The ATS Division requires acquisition support services to develop, analyze, and revise documentation for the new CAT-F program, which is currently in the pre-milestone "A" phase of the defense acquisition life cycle. The services will include integrated master schedule development, acquisition strategy plan development, acquisition support, and CAT-F acquisition program research support.

The purchase agency for this opportunity is the AFLCMC/WNA-ATS division. They are purchasing these services to support the development and procurement of a new Common Armament Tester-Fighter (CAT-F) to replace outdated legacy armament testers used on USAF fighter aircraft. The goal is to improve armament circuits' reliability on Stores Management Systems (SMSs) and associated Alternate Mission Equipment (AME). By acquiring support services, the AFLCMC/WNA-ATS division can efficiently execute the procurement of the newly designed tester, providing warfighters with enhanced capability and interoperability between multiple aircraft.

The timeframe of the acquisition is one year. The place of performance will be at the Contractor's facility. Notable aspects of this opportunity include the need for compliance with security requirements, adherence to safety regulations, reporting of government property, and compliance with trafficking in persons regulations. Additionally, there are specific deliverables and tasks outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), such as developing an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS), Acquisition Strategy Plan (ASP), and providing acquisition support.
