NAVAIDS Installation, Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia   2

The General Services Administration (GSA), Federal Acquisition Services - Region 7, intends to issue a solicitation for the installation of navigational aids (NAVAIDS) at Prince Sultan Air Base (PSAB), Saudi Arabia for the United States Air Force Central Command (USAFCENT) and Air Force Flight Standards Agency (AFFSA).

Due to the planned expansion of combat air operations at PSAB, it will experience significant increased use by US and Coalition aircraft requiring effective and reliable NAVAID systems. Currently, PSAB has (3ea) Instrument Landing Systems w/ Distance Measuring Equipment (ILS/DME) as well as a Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range Tactical Navigation (VORTAC) in place. The systems are deteriorating and no longer economically supportable. It is AFCENT's intention to replace these systems with modern equivalents as well as add an additional ILS/DME system. Installation of one new system (CLIN 0001) will be fully funded. Installation of remaining systems (CLINs 0002-0005) will be optional. Optional CLINs will be initiated if/when funding is available. Conversely, changes in mission requirements or absence of available funds could negate some or all optional CLINs.

• CLIN 0001: Replace current ILS/DME for runway 35R (fully funded)
• CLIN 0002: Install ILS/DME for runway 17R (optional)
• CLIN 0003: Replace current ILS/DME for runway 17L (optional)
• CLIN 0004: Replace current ILS/DME for runway 35L (optional)
• CLIN 0005: Replace current VORTAC (optional)
• Travel will be included as a SubCLIN under CLINs 0001-0005.

AFCENT requires Selex specific systems to meet requirements outlined in this acquisition. The brand name justification will be posted with the solicitation in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.102(a)(6).

This effort will require the Contractor to perform tasks at both Contractor and Government facilities at both CONUS and OCONUS locations.

The period of performance (PoP) for this requirement is twenty-four (24) months. If optional CLINs are exercised, the POP remains twenty-four (24) months.
