    Description

    Sources Sought DEPT OF DEFENSE is seeking potential vendors for an engineering services effort regarding the B-2 ZSR Band 2 Antenna, LH Lower. This antenna is part of the B-2 DMS subsystem for receive and transmit functions and forms a portion of the outer mold line. The purpose of this effort is to resolve obsolescence, develop, and qualify a sustainable configuration for manufacturing. Potential vendors must be capable of evaluating the BOM, identifying obsolete parts and materials, proposing alternatives for long-term sustainment, and meeting all existing specification requirements. Northrop Grumman is currently the only known source with qualifications for this effort. Vendors must demonstrate capabilities in low observable applications, B-2 aircraft antenna repair and manufacturing, B-2 aircraft integration and environmental testing, and maintaining a quality system. Small businesses may be eligible for a set-aside portion of the requirement.

    Sources Sought DEPT OF DEFENSE B-2 KU-Band (Lower) Antenna NSN 5985-01-262-1927 P/N DAA3391P010-105 The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, is seeking prospective vendors for an engineering services effort regarding the B-2 Ku-Band (Lower) Antenna. This antenna is part of the B-2 Ku-Band radar system used to identify and determine the range and bearing of the vehicle. It also serves as a secondary structure that forms a portion of the outer mold line. The unit is designed for low observable and nuclear environment operations. The purpose of this effort is to resolve obsolescence, develop, and qualify a sustainable configuration for manufacturing. The Air Force is in search of vendors who can evaluate the Bill of Materials (BOM), production/test equipment, and documentation, identify obsolete parts and materials, propose alternatives for long-term sustainment, maintain the form, fit, and function of the antenna, meet all existing specification requirements, address testing requirements, and develop and deliver a full production Technical Data Package. At this time, Northrop Grumman is the only known source with qualifications to execute this effort. However, the Air Force is conducting this market survey to identify potential sources that may possess the specialized expertise, capabilities, and experience required. It is important to note that participation in this survey does not ensure participation in future solicitations or contract awards, and the government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation. Prospective vendors must demonstrate their capabilities and past performance in areas such as low observable applications, repair and manufacture of B-2 aircraft antennas, B-2 aircraft integration testing, B-2 aircraft environmental testing, and compliance with security clearance requirements. Additionally, vendors must maintain a corporate cost accounting system that meets the requirements of DCMA and/or DCAA, and must not be owned by a foreign company or individual for the duration of any potential government contract. Small businesses are encouraged to indicate if conditions exist for a small business set-aside for any portion of the requirement, and provide information on their qualifications and experience. Large businesses should submit their reasonable expectation of subcontracting opportunities for small business concerns. The place of performance for this procurement is Oklahoma City, OK, with a zip code of 73145, and the primary contact for this notice is 424 SCMS/GUEAA.
