Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought The Naval Air Systems Command, PMA-265 (Program Office for F/A-18 and EA-18G Aircraft), is soliciting information from industry to determine potential contractors who have the skills, experience, qualifications, and knowledge required to provide a classified Combined Interrogator Transponder (CIT) Conformal Antenna Subsystem (CAS) Beam Forming Network (BFM) Acceptance Test Procedure (ATP) workstation to satisfy the U.S. Navy (USN) F/A-18E/F and EA-18G aircraft program requirements. The contractor shall furnish personnel, facilities, material, and services necessary to assemble and to make the BFN ATP Workstation meet the current National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) requirements. The current CIT CAS BFN ATP is used to support acceptance testing, sell off, and repair of CAS BFN subsystems for F/A-18E/F & EA-18G aircraft production and in-service equipment. The current classified workstation is no longer compliant with the security settings required by NISPOM and the Office of Designated Approval Authority (ODAA). BAE Systems is the manufacturer that developed this ATP workstation for the USN and possesses the requisite technical data, machining, software, and special skills and test equipment regarding the workstation to meet the Navy’s requirements. The contractor shall be responsible for obtaining, from BAE, all manufacturing drawings and the proprietary specification data and software necessary to support the production of ATP workstation.
