ITEM DESCRIPTION The AN/APN-241 LPCR system includes an antenna, indicator and control panels, a Receiver Transmitter Processor (RTP), a RTP mount, an antenna power supply, a wired chassis and several Line Replaceable Modules (LRMs). The AN/APN-241 is a low power, lightweight pulsed Doppler radar in the transport class with a high-resolution synthetic aperture radar mapping mode. In addition to meeting needs for precision navigation, this mapping capability enables operators to execute landing missions with confidence on unimproved runways without aid from ground-based landing systems. Impediment to Competition: The original equipment manufacturer for this item is Northrop Grumman Services Corporation (NGSC) (CAGE 1LTU5). The Government does not own or have access to the data for this item. Northrop Grumman is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and they possess all data pertaining the LPCR. Since the AN/APN-241 is a non-developmental system used in military applications, the Government did not procure detailed drawing packages, documentation of manufacturing procedures, test specifications or inspection data rights. This data is proprietary to Northrop Grumman and their contributing vendors who are not willing to sell such data. No sample(s) will be available for potential supplier to evaluate. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to NGSC for the manufacture of the LPCR RTP in support of the C-130J program.
