US-FED-00000385958 - Small Diameter Bomb Increment II (SDB II) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity 4 - Deadline July 27,2026

The Department of Defense, United States Air Force (USAF), Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Armament Directorate, Attack Division (EBD), Small Diameter Bomb II Program Office (EBDM) intends to solicit and award a seven (7) year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) sole source contract under the authority of RFO 6.103–1. EBDM currently has an active sole source IDIQ contract with Raytheon Company for a similar requirement.The Attack Division requires lifecycle support of the SDB II weapon system. This lifecycle support includes, but is not limited to, all efforts related to the SDB II and variants in support efforts for weapon integration, production, sustainment, testing, and management, logistics support, testing, training, upgrades, and software updates. Additionally, studies and analysis related to current and future expansion of system performance, simulations, modeling, test hardware, technical support, aircraft integration activities, procurement of all associated test hardware to support the activities and repair of non–warranted assets will be procured using this contract vehicle. Technical support for the SDB II system provides for engineering, management fielding and logistical tasks required to ensure technical baselines remain current and effective and that future growth requirements remain feasible. Contract types may include firm fixed price, fixed price incentive firm, cost reimbursement, cost–plus fixed fee, and/or cost–plus incentive fee.Any interested vendors shall submit a response demonstrating their capability to provide these items/perform this effort to the Primary Point of Contact listed below. Proposals are not being requested or accepted at this time. As stipulated in RFO 15.101(c)(2)), responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. No solicitation (Request for Proposal) exists at this time; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. The decision to solicit a contract shall be solely within the Government`s discretion.CAPABILITIES STATEMENT: To assist the Government in determining technical feasibility and finding qualified alternative sources, please structure your Capability Statement to answer the following questions:Security Clearance Mandate: All interested vendors must possess and maintain an active Top Secret Facility Clearance (FCL) with safeguarding capabilities up to the Secret level at the time of submission. Personnel assigned to this effort must possess active security clearances commensurate with their duties.Operational Constraint (Proprietary OEM Data): A portion of the SDB II software/guidance algorithms is proprietary to the OEM, and a complete Technical Data Package (TDP) is not available to the Government for distribution. To be deemed capable, alternative vendors must demonstrate the ability to support the weapon system through reverse engineering, clean–room development, and hardware–in–the–loop validation.Capability Questionnaire: Please provide detailed, outcome–based responses to the following nine (9) evaluation areas:Baseline & Configuration Management: Describe your experience maintaining and updating technical baselines for complex guided weapon systems without relying on proprietary OEM data. Explain your process for ensuring strict configuration control during concurrent hardware and software upgrades.Aircraft & Platform Integration: Detail your technical capability and past performance integrating munitions or complex hardware/software systems onto military aircraft platforms. Address how you manage and verify physical, electrical, and logical interface compliance.Test Hardware & Modeling: Explain your capability to procure, maintain, or reverse–engineer test hardware, and develop high–fidelity simulation/modeling environments to analyze system performance and expand weapon capabilities.Legacy Algorithm Reverse–Engineering: Describe your technical methodology for reverse–engineering, modeling, and simulating legacy, closed–architecture algorithms to maintain operational weapon system baselines when source code is unavailable.Clean–Room Software Engineering: Explain your organizational process for executing clean–room software development or designing wrapper/adapter software to successfully integrate proprietary system logic with modern, open–architecture updates.Binary Analysis & HWIL Testing: Detail your experience analyzing compiled binary code and utilizing Hardware–in–the–Loop (HWIL) testing environments to verify, validate, and predict proprietary algorithm behavior.Logistical support for sustainment: Explain maintenance support and repairs.Modernizations through Obsolescence, Diminishing Sources and Sustainability: Explain your methodology to ensure you can maintain production with continued production support into the future.Transition & Risk Mitigation: Outline your rapid mobilizatio
