Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Joint Simulation Environment is seeking sources for modification to the existing F-35 AN/ALE-70 towed decoy to add direct radio-frequency (RF) cable connections to support connection to the Direct Injection Plate System (DIPS) and external RF measurement equipment. Modifications or newly built DIPS boxes may be required for compatibility with the modified ALE-70 decoy. The Government does not possess the data or expertise required to modify ALE-70 towed decoys. The modified decoy must be compatible and operational with an F-35 in a chamber test environment. Responses to this RFI shall be sent by email to Shara Ruth at shara.j.ruth.civ@us.navy.mil no later than 11:00 A.M. EDT, 15 February 2022. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the Navy is not seeking proposals at this time and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the SAM.gov website. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this requirement.
