The planned acquisition will provide ETS in support of the SM programs for the U.S. Navy, Foreign Military Sale (FMS) customers, and Other Government Agencies (OGA). 2.0 GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS. 2.1 General Requirements. STANDARD Missile requires engineering and technical services for continuing support of advanced technology activities/demonstrations associated with current and future SM improvement programs. Research and Development (R&D) activity initiated under the ETS procurement will transition, as appropriate for each program, to individual completion contracts. SM engineering and technical services is integral to the navies of allied and friendly foreign nations and has prevented unnecessary duplication of R&D and production efforts, thereby freeing friendly European and Asian aerospace resources to pursue other mutually beneficial programs. The engineering and technical services support evaluations of advanced missile configurations and technology efforts with potential for future SM development programs for FY 2023 – 2027. This will include test equipment and installation, checkout equipment, program facility support and Design Agent Services. ETS services consist of: research and development efforts; design, systems, and production engineering; technical services; testing and evaluation services; component and capability improvement services; parts obsolescence mitigation; field support production proofing services for missile producibility; missile production support; and shipboard integration. 2.2 Delivery Period for Evaluation Purposes.
