The Government anticipates soliciting a Support and Sustainment 5 year Contract from a sole source for the AN/ASQ-230. The work is currently being performed by Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC) Cage: 28815 under current contract FA8528-17-D-0013. The Air Force requires long-term support and sustainment of the AN/ASQ 230 sensors as authorized by DoD (Department of Defense) Directive 5000.1 and 5000.2-R, as well as other DoD implementing directives. Air Combat Command A5 requirements which provide for an over-arching sustainment program for the U-2. The CLS support includes engineering support, the repair of spare assets, resolution of system failures and issues to ensure availability, reliability, and maintainability of the fielded equipment and software. This effort requires Depot Level Support Teams (DLSTs) to support the following sustainment activities: mission software updates, Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) engineering, engineering change proposals, configuration management (hardware and software), data management, technical data (such as technical manuals and reports), development and maintenance, in-plant Specialized Repair Activity and sparing, technical and engineering actions for calibrating the sensor, resolving system failures/issues in a timely manner, and planning/preparation/implementation of system sustainment improvements and upgrades. The purpose of this request is to conduct Market Research activity to gather information on whether any additional sources are capable of meeting this requirement.
