MC-130 Radar

The government is seeking potential sources for the upgrade of the MC-130J RTP APN-241 Radar to the WC-130J configuration to support MC-130J CR-2M developmental testing. This Request for Information (RFI) is aimed at identifying capabilities and expertise to undertake this project and is not a solicitation for proposals. Interested parties must demonstrate their ability to install the radar system and troubleshoot discrepancies, while having access to Northrop Grumman's equipment. The acquisition strategy aims for completion within Fiscal Year 2025, and the government anticipates a sole-source contract to Northrop Grumman Corporation. Participants must respond by December 1, 2024, providing relevant business information and demonstrating their capabilities through a structured format that includes past experiences and quality assurance processes. The document emphasizes the importance of small businesses and collaborative teaming arrangements. Key requirements include the successful modification of provided government-furnished equipment (GFE) and execution of acceptance testing to ensure operational readiness. Response submissions must be sent to designated contacts, with a focus on both large and small business engagement in this market research.
