Description
The GLOBUS Program is a bi-national collaborative effort, supporting critical radar and communications systems with unique operational requirements and is hosted at Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) location. The GLOBUS System of Systems consists of an S-Band (GLOBUS-S) phased array radar, an X-Band (GLOBUS-X) dish radar, an Integrated System Controller (ISC) computer system, and a Mission Communication Suite (MCS) which was fielded in 2023. The United States Air Force, through AFMC, is responsible for the procurement of capital equipment at the operational site, sustainment (to include spares), Urgent/Emergency Depot Level Maintenance, and oversight; the Host Nation Government is responsible for operating the system and any organizational level maintenance. This acquisition represents a mission-critical investment to mitigate risk of a catastrophic failure of a GLOBUS-X Band elevation gearbox (s). This acquisition will be for the procurement of two (2) elevation gearbox spares. GLOBUS-X, today, relies on worn gearboxes - originally manufactured in 1993 - with limited spares. There is one (1) elevation gearbox at site. The unique operating conditions and system specific design of the Elevation gearboxes render both gear boxes incompatible with any other existing or planned programs. The uniqueness and non-existence of like items, highlighting the necessity for dedicated spares. The United States Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) has a requirement as a part of its ongoing sustainment of the GLOBUS System of Systems. To ensure continued operational readiness of the critical GLOBUS-X radar system, this requirement is for the procurement of two (2) elevation gearbox spares designed as direct form, fit, and function replacement for the current aging units. These custom gearboxes must precisely adhere to system specific mechanical and electrical specifications outlined in the EL Gear Reducer Graham Sesia P/N TPP-028-M-H2-104S, RTX ICD DWG H496663, and associated drawings. Full technical specifications are detailed within the FSSM&I X-Band Pedestal Servo System Modernization document B2270320. (i) The contractor shall design, develop, manufacture, and develop the Elevation Gearboxes in accordance with the attached Statement of Work and associated technical data requirements referenced in this document. (ii) The Government will not accept "Not Separately Priced (NSP)", " No Charge (N/C), $0.00, etc. on any line items other than those already designated in the schedule. (iii) The Government intends to award a single Definitive Firm Fixed Price Contract, in accordance with FAR 16.202, as a result of this solicitation. (iv) The Government will provide the GFP/GFE/GFI that is listed in Section J Attachment I. (v) In accordance with DFARS 252.219-7003, Small Business Subcontracting Plan (DoD Contracts) if the proposal exceeds 900K, the offeror shall submit a subcontracting plan identifying small business goals for this effort in both pe…
