- Sources Sought (Request for Interested Manufacturers) FROM: Jonathan Hill/ 408 SCMS/GULA TO: DLA Aviation Procurement Operations at Warner Robins (SPRWA1) LOCATION: Robins AFB, GA 31098-1813 FBO Post Title: ALQ-184 Low Band High Voltage Power Supply NSN: 6130-01-664-5626EW SUBJECT: Market research is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of the ALQ-184 Low Band High Voltage Power Supply (LB HVPS) NSN: 6130-01-664-5626EW, PN: 578R729H05. ITEM DESCRIPTION This item is integral and critical to the functionality of the AN/ALQ-184 Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) Pod. The AN/ALQ-184(V) Electronic Attack (EA) Pod provides primary self-defense against enemy radar-guided air defense systems for the A-10 and F-16 aircraft. Any prospective source will need to ensure their facility and personnel are qualified to generate and handle classified material as this contract will require the source to have access to secure/classified information. The Low Band High Voltage Power Supply serves as a source of supply to the ALQ-184s Traveling Wave Tubes. The HVPS shall be of all solid-state design and shall provide all operating voltages including heater voltage of eight TWTs. The HVPS shall include control and protect circuitry to control the application and removal of element voltages and to insure that the TWTs are not subjected to potentially harmful stresses. Fault monitoring circuitry within the HVPS shall flag the status of power supply functions to the system operator. Impediment to Competition: The AMC/AMSC for these items is 3/B. This part must be acquired from a manufacturing source(s) specified on a source control or selected item drawing as defined by the current version of DoD-STD-100. Suitable technical data, Government data rights, or manufacturing knowledge are not available to permit acquisition from other sources, nor qualification testing of another part, nor use of a second source part in the intended application. Although, by DoD-STD-100 definition, altered and selected items shall have an adequate technical data package, data review discloses that required data or data rights are not in Government possession and cannot be economically obtained. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to Communication & Power Industries LLC, DBA CPI DIV Beverly Microwave Division for the manufacture of the LB HVPS in support of the ALQ-184 Electronic Attack Pod. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 12 November 2018 by emailing Jonathan Hill at jonathan.hill.15@us.af.mil and/or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil. The Government intends to procure these items using Other Than Full and Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
