- Description
- Fighter-Bomber Directorate, Development and Integration Division (B-52) Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (AFB), Ohio Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Development and Integration (WWBK), Wright Patterson Air Force Base, is hosting an Industry Day as a means of conducting market research. This event will be an unclassified forum held on 29 November 2016 - 1 December 2016. The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement and acquisition strategy development. The purpose of this event is to seek additional information from integration and radar supplier responses on integrating candidate radar systems to replace the current B-52H AN/APQ-166 strategic radar under Sources Sought FA8628-15-C-B52-RADAR and RFI FA862815CB52RADAR_VERSION2. •1) Candidate integration suppliers shall respond to the additional questions in Appendix A. •2) Candidate radar suppliers shall respond to additional questions in Appendix B This multiple-day event will include a short introduction/overview presentation followed by individual sessions with integration suppliers (2 hours each) and radar suppliers (1.5 hours each). The dates, meeting locations, and times are included in the attached agenda. All attendees must present a government issued photo identification during registration on the day of the event. Responders interested in participating must contact Eric Alvarez at eric.alvarez.9@us.af.mil NLT 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time on 22 November 2016. Please include a requested time slot for individual sessions (note: time slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis). Attendees must also submit the following for base access: name exactly how it appears on driver's license, driver's license number and state of issue, and a valid email address. Additionally, the Industry Day is intended to be an unclassified meeting event, please indicate (in the e-mail response) if any classified discussions are required to respond to questions in Appendix A and/or Appendix B. THIS IS AN INDUSTRY DAY ONLY. This event does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This event does not commit the U.S. Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Furthermore, the Air Force is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this event; all costs associated with responding to this event will be solely at the interested party's expense. Not responding to this event does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website. It is the responsibility of the potential responders to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this requirement. Interested parties may respond to Industry Day event with a white paper or slide presentation. White papers and/or slide presentation in Microsoft Office 2010-compatible format can be submitted in-person at the Industry Day or via mail. Mailed responses shall be submitted to: AFLCMC/WWBK Attn: Mr. Eric Alvarez Area B, Bldg 553 2725 C Street Wright-Patterson AFB, OH 45433-7424 eric.alvarez.9@us.af.mil Please include 1 (one) complete, hard-copy of the response, along with one soft copy on CD or DVD. Proprietary information, if any, should be kept to a minimum, and MUST BE CLEARLY MARKED. To aid the Government, please segregate proprietary or classified information as much as practicable. Be advised that no submissions will be returned. The responder's submittal shall provide administrative information, and shall include the following as a minimum: Name, mailing address, overnight-delivery address (if different from mailing address), phone number, fax number, and e-mail of designated points of contact. If applicable, classified information (collateral Secret only) may be submitted to Mr. John Rankin at the same address as Mr. Alvarez above or hand delivered to Mr. Rankin in Building 553, Room 110. All classified information delivered is required to be in compliance with the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) DoD 5220-22-M requirements.

APPENDIX A Integration Supplier Questions What is your plan to work radar system integration in a concurrent B-52 modification environment with a different vendor (e.g., Link 16, Long Range Stand Off, Re-engine Program, Global Positioning System/Interface Unit, Cryptography Modernization, and Defensive Management Systems)? Describe your plan to address anti-tamper/program protection and cybersecurity associated with integrating the radar with the controls, displays, and concurrent modification environment? Describe your approach to integrate a radar system and obtain necessary data (not available through USG) for that integration. Describe your approach to integrate the radar with existing military standard interfaces (e.g., 1553 data bus) on the B-52. What Systems Integration Lab (SIL) capabilities and associated analysis experience do you have to accommodate B-52 Radar integration evaluations? Describe your capabilities with collateral systems to nuclear harden the radar system and related integrated systems. Describe your capabilities to integrate a radar system with controls and displays on the B-52. What experience do you have with Human Systems Integration and systems architectures associated with the multiple aircrew work station environment like the B-52? Describe how you would apply an Open Systems Architecture (OSA) and/or Open Mission Systems (OMS) approach for integrating the radar with the B-52 aircraft subsystems (if applicable). Some candidate radar solutions may require liquid cooling. Describe your capabilities to perform Environmental Cooling System (ECS) modifications to include associated integration and testing activities. Some candidate radar solutions may require modification to the existing B-52 radar radome. Describe your capabilities to perform this modification to include associated integration/testing activities. APPENDIX B Radar Supplier Questions Provide any applicable updates on current efforts to implement improvements to transmit/receive (T/R) module technologies with applicable radar systems to include technology and manufacturing readiness levels for these systems and potential use for B-52 RMP. How much bandwidth is required to support full functionality of your radar candidate for the B-52, and whether this will be beyond the existing B-52 1553 data bus capabilities? Describe your approaches to liquid cooling of an AESA array for the B-52. Describe the ideal set of controls and displays for your radar, including display processors, and indicate whether it will be part of your proposed radar system or be procured separately by the system integrator. Describe your plan to address anti-tamper/program protection and cyber security for your proposed radar system. Describe how you would apply an Open Systems Architecture (OSA) and/or Mission Systems (OMS) approach for integrating the radar with aircraft subsystems (if applicable).
