US-FED-00000395671 - F-15EX Missile Warning System - Deadline November 12,2026

The Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), Fighters & Advanced Aircraft Directorate (AFLCMC/WA), F15 System Program Office (AFLCMC/WAQ), Wright–Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) is seeking sources for the procurement of an operationally qualified threat missile launch and approach warning system for rapid integration into the United States Air Force (USAF) F–15EX Eagle II fighter aircraft.INTRODUCTION:This is a SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT to acquire a missile warning system (MWS) to be integrated into the F–15EX fleet. The system must alert the F–15EX aircrew to missile threats without unreasonably distracting the aircrew with false alarms. The MWS must use the six pre–existing sensor locations, data cables, power cables, and cooling. The MWS must be easily, safely, rapidly, and organically installable and removable in the field by USAF military aircraft maintenance personnel.In accordance with Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul (RFO) Part 10, Market Research, AFLCMC/WAQ is seeking information for potential sources for an integrated MWS solution for the F–15EX.This publication is intended to elicit responses from sources with knowledge, skills, data, equipment, access to appropriate facilities, and the capacity to meet the Air Force`s requirements. The dollar value and period of performance (PoP) for the contract will be commensurate with the requirement. This contract effort is subject to RFO 52.232–18, Availability of Funds.1.1 SOURCES SOUGHT INFORMATION1.2 DISCLAIMER: THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP), REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) OR AN INVITATION FOR BID (IFB). IN ACCORDANCE WITH RFO 15.101(c), THIS NOTICE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. THE GOVERNMENT MAY USE THE INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM RESPONSES TO THIS NOTICE IN DETERMINING ITS ACQUISITION APPROACH. THE ISSUANCE OF THIS NOTICE DOES NOT RESTRICT THE GOVERNMENT ACQUISTION APPROACH.1.3 REQUIRED CAPABILITIESInterested firms should submit information as to the capabilities, capacity, and experience to provide an MWS as set forth below:The MWS must alert the F–15EX aircrew to the presence of missiles that may threaten the aircraft without unreasonably distracting the aircrew with false alarms. The MWS must use the six (6) pre–existing F–15EX sensor locations, data cables, power cables, and cooling. It must be easily, safely, rapidly, and organically installable and removable in the field by USAF military aircraft maintenance personnel without requiring any change to aircraft configuration beyond installation of MWS line replaceable units (LRUs) in the six (6) pre–existing locations in the aircraft dedicated for missile warning.To avoid compromise of classified information, this notice does not ask for threat missile launch and approach detection performance for various use cases nor for an MWS concept of operations. AFLCMC/WAQ may contact you to ask for detection performance information if your response to this Sources Sought notice indicates your MWS is integrable in an F–15EX aircraft.Questions:What is the name of the MWS you describe in your response to this Sources Sought notice? Please include titles, abbreviations, and nomenclature as available. Please only identify and describe a single MWS in your response.On what Department of War (DoW) aircraft model(s) is your MWS approved for operational use today? Approval for operational use requires both 1) determination of airworthiness of the aircraft with your MWS integrated and 2) sustainment of the aircraft`s cybersecurity Authorization to Operate.Who are the best references (name, position, organization, commercial telephone number, and US Government email address) for DoW acquirers responsible for procuring your MWS for operational use on DoW aircraft named in question 2?Is your MWS in active production today?How many months from contract award could your MWS be delivered?Does your MWS consist only of sensor LRUs or does your MWS consist of sensor LRUs connected to a central processing LRU? If MWS sensors are connected to a central processor, how are they connected?What are the dimensions of each LRU in your MWS? You are alternately welcome to include in your response figures from engineering drawings that identify dimensions, rather than listing dimensions.How much does each LRU in your MWS weigh?
