Electronic Warfare Avionics Integration Support Facility Combat Electromagnetic Environment Simulators, Real Time Infrared/electro-optic Scene Simulator, Test Control Subsystem, Simulation Network Server Sustainment Support Services   2

ID: (None) • Type: Sources Sought

Description

We are conducting market research to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for sustainment support services that will consist of recurring and non-recurring engineering tasks in support of the EWAISF's SIMNET. Our acquisition strategy is a multi-year contract, minimum of basic plus four option years (with a possibility of an additional 5 option years) to continue through FY34.

The EWAISF's simulator network aka SIMNET is a network of nine (9) Combat Electromagnetic Environment Simulators (CEESIM), one (1) Real Time Infrared/Electro-Optic (IR/EO) Scene Simulator (RISS), and (2) avionics data simulators and a Test Control System (TCS). The SIMNET is capable of providing a synchronized time dynamic operationally representative threat environment to multiple SUTs found throughout the EWAISF simultaneously for coordinated EW system testing.

The projected quantities of non-recurring engineering tasks will be determined by EW system simulation requirements within the EWAISF and may consist of CEESIM technology refreshes, RF source replacements, and miscellaneous spare support as needed.

Projected quantities of recurring engineering tasks in support of the EWAISF's SIMNET will entail at a minimum on-site and offsite support sustaining engineering services. On-site support will consist of receiving repairs, preventative maintenance, corrective maintenance, spares management, calibration, test planning, test development & preparation, test execution, assistance in the creation of simulation scenarios, network management, user account management, information management, application software management, operating system management, network operation, network maintenance, operational assistance/training, and configuration management. Offsite support will consist of repair and replacement services in support of all equipment included in the simulator network.

Background
The United States Air Force (USAF) is conducting market research to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for sustainment support services. The Electronic Warfare Avionics Integration Support Facility (EWAISF) program provides direction to develop and sustain system engineering and logistical support for Electronic Warfare (EW) systems and software reprogramming. The EWAISF is the primary support facility in the development, configuration management, maintenance, and testing of USAF EW system hardware, software, and reprogramming support tools. The sustainment support services are required to enact DAFMAN 10-703, Electronic Warfare Integrated Reprogramming (EWIR) that is supported by the SIMNET enabling the production and delivery of software and hardware changes to the various EW systems within the EWAISF.

Work Details
The sustainment support services will consist of recurring and non-recurring engineering tasks in support of the EWAISF’s SIMNET. This includes tasks such as CEESIM technology refreshes, RF source replacements, miscellaneous spare support as needed, on-site and offsite support sustaining engineering services, repair and replacement services in support of all equipment included in the simulator network.

The SIMNET is capable of providing a synchronized time dynamic operationally representative threat environment to multiple System Under Tests (SUTs) found throughout the EWAISF simultaneously for coordinated EW system testing.

Period of Performance
The acquisition strategy is a multi-year contract with a minimum of basic plus four option years (with a possibility of an additional 5 option years) to continue through FY34.

Place of Performance
The work will be performed at the Electronic Warfare Avionics Integration Support Facility (EWAISF), which is located at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia.
