The government is conducting market research for the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of the Draughon Bombing and Electronic Attack Range at Misawa Air Base, Japan, as part of its acquisition planning. This initiative is not a solicitation but aims to gather industry input to assess the availability of qualified contractors capable of providing required services. The anticipated contract includes a one-month base period followed by five one-year options, with operations focusing on realistic training for various military aircrews. Contractor responsibilities will encompass range control operations, electronic warfare tasks, and support for combat training and maintenance of government-furnished equipment. Interested firms are invited to submit capability packages detailing their qualifications and relevant experience, adhering to specified formatting guidelines and response timelines. The responses will inform the government's acquisition strategy without forming any binding contracts. The announcement emphasizes that participation is voluntary, and all costs incurred will not be reimbursed by the government. Strict security requirements, including holding a SECRET clearance, are mandated for contractor personnel. This market exploration process reflects the Air Force's commitment to ensuring effective service provision while fostering collaboration with industry stakeholders for enhanced operational support.
