This announcement constitutes a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential procurement sources for updating the Avionics Flight Management Computer (AFMC) to add the Second generation Anti-jam Tactical Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Radio for North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) (SATURN) capability to the E-2D aircraft Fleet to perform testing, reporting test results, update documentation as respective source documentation for updates to the Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM), support Government laboratory testing and associated flight tests.
This effort includes but not limited to, engineering and logistics support of engineering investigations, training, development and validation of change kits change kit procurement and change kit installation; engineering services; sustaining or production engineering support; logistic modeling and analysis; technical representative field services; and non-recurring engineering for design, development, prototyping, validation and testing. Those products are Engineering Change Proposals (ECP), manufacturing and maintenance process changes, inspection techniques, changes in operational procedures and publication changes.
The Government does not possess the technical data/drawing package required to provide the required support and services for this Integration effort. If you believe you are capable of meeting this capability, demonstrate that your company currently possesses or has authorized access to the necessary technical data, or has a viable plan to obtain, generate, or otherwise secure the necessary technical data, and that it will be maintained throughout the duration of the effort being solicited. You may also highlight unique data generation techniques used by your company, or areas where modifications can be performed, or the capability can be provided, without technical data provided by the Government or OEM. For the FY27 through FY30 Integration contract, interested businesses shall demonstrate the capability to meet the Government’s required timeline. You may also submit information that demonstrates how you could potentially meet this requirement for future production opportunities.
The E-2D program office plans to utilize these services and supplies to support E-2 aircraft from FY27 through FY30. The Government will provide APN-5 funding where required to support these efforts.
Additionally, the vendor will complete all projects, engineering and logistics services required under this program to support the Integration effort. Additionally, the vendors will provide technical assistance, flight test and evaluation support, engineering, and logistics support. Interested vendors must meet pre- qualification requirements in order to be eligible for consideration. This is NOT a Request for Proposal (RFP). Firms that can meet the USN’s requirement in the timelines identified above are encouraged to identify themselves.
Vendors interested in responding to the RFI shall provide a one to two page overview statement addressing the following: 1) Brief statement of interest/capabilities; 2) Any other information at vendor discretion such as catalogs, drawings/illustrations, technical manuals, training description/material, pricing, testing documentation, brochures and/or any other documentation that describes the capabilities, interfaces and specifications; 3) Respondents should identify any Government customer who has procured these services that meet the requirements and provide customer point of contact, including a telephone number, e-mail address or web site. Responses may be submitted electronically to the email address provided below. Responses are requested by 05 June 2025. Earliest possible response is encouraged. Responses will be reviewed, and additional information may be requested from individual vendors if desired by the Government.
