The Naval Air Systems Command, (NAVAIR) Patuxent River, Maryland, Air Traffic Management Systems Program Office (PMA-213) intends to award a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) order for the productionization of the AN/UPX-50 Common Core Digital Interrogator (CCDI). The AN/UPX-50 CCDI is an update to the AN/UPX-50(C) DI to address obsolescence issues and to combine the AN/UPX-24 and the Digital Interrogator into one system for Department of Defense Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System/Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) Mark XIIA System (AIMS) certification. 2.0 BACKGROUND Production of AN/UPX-50(C) DI systems is currently performed on the N00019-23-C-0046 contract by BAE Systems, Information and Electronic Systems Integration. The existing contract is a Firm Fixed Price type. The AN/UPX-50(C) is a DI for ground-based and shipboard weapon system platforms to satisfy Mark XIIA IFF and Mode S requirements. 3.0 REQUIRED CAPABILITIES NAVAIR requires deliveries of AN/UPX 50 CCDI EDMs beginning in December 2026 to support production deliveries in December 2027 to active new ship production lines including: CG, CVN, DDG, FFG, LHA, LHD, LPD, WMSL, and WMSM ship classes. Highly specialized skills are required for the CCDI productionization effort to meet the stringent schedule. The CCDI includes integration of highly complex Contractor developed algorithms in conjunction with Government cooperation using organically developed algorithms for target processing. This system is specialized for operation with the Aegis Weapon System (AWS) and Ship’s Self Defense System (SSDS), involving characterization of the system of systems in their operational environment to ensure ship requirements are met. This effort is intended to complete Non-Recurring Engineering activities, which are already in progress. Productionization will include the development and integration of highly specialized test equipment to ensure equipment meets all specified requirements. BAE Systems is the sole designer, developer and manufacturer of DI and has been the only entity producing the AN/UPX-50(C) DI for over 10 years. BAE Systems retains the Technical Data Package (TDP). Interested parties must include a detailed explanation of how they would complete the CCDI Productionization requirements without a Government furnished TDP. Responses must also explain how they would accomplish the CCDI productionization effort and provide a timeline including major milestones to support BAE Systems’ CCDI production delivery requirements beginning in December 2027. This would include ensuring the offered productionized DI design is completed and is AIMS 17-1000 Rev 1 Box certified, including integration of internal target processing that meets the existing Combat System performance required by AWS and SSDS (in accordance with all applicable Weapon Specifications). 4.0 INCUMBENT This is a follow-on requirement.
