Market Research for Alternate Sources: Joint Tactical Terminal – Next Generation (JTT-NG) Systems

The Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), working with Program Manager Intelligence System and Analytics (PM IS&A), is seeking industry input on alternate sources for the Joint Tactical Terminal – Next Generation (JTT-NG) systems. - The government is looking for vendors capable of: - Manufacturing JTT-NG hardware using government-provided technical drawings, documentation, and software source code/executables - Providing technical support, spare parts, and sustainment services for JTT-NG systems - Incorporating Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) into production - The JTT-NG system is the primary focus; no specific OEMs or vendors are named - Respondents should address: - Experience with similar systems and manufacturing capabilities - Ability to integrate government-furnished software and documentation - Production estimates, schedule impacts, and recommendations for alternate source development - Requirements for data, certifications, and documentation - Notably, the government does not have data rights to two JTT-NG subsystems, which may affect production and support - The government plans to extend an existing IDIQ contract to support continued JTT-NG production and sustainment

Description

Subject:

Identification of Alternate Sources for Joint Tactical Terminal – Next Generation (JTT-NG) systems hardware components production, technical data (hardware and source code), technical support, spare parts and sustainment services.

Purpose

The Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APFG) and Program Manager Intelligence System and Analytics (PM IS&A) are conducting market research to identify potential alternate sources capable of supporting the production of Joint Tactical Terminal – Next Generation (JTT-NG) systems, including the incorporation of Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), using Government-provided technical data. This RFI is issued solely for planning and market research purposes in accordance with FAR Part 10. Responses will assist the Government in assessing industry capability, refining acquisition strategies, and evaluating options to reduce production lead times.

Background

The Government is planning to extend the current seven-year IDIQ contract W56KGY-20-D-0013 for an additional three years to support continued production. To reduce schedule risk and plan for future requirements, the Government seeks industry feedback regarding the ability to manufacture JTT-NG Terminal using existing technical drawings, documentation, and associated software source code and/or executables.

Requested Information

The Government requests that interested vendors address the following:

Experience manufacturing similar tactical terminals, avionics, SATCOM systems, or other complex military communication hardware. Note: Available JTT-NG drawings have not been audited. Capability to utilize Government-provided JTT drawings and technical documentation, including anticipated gaps or risks. Ability to support or integrate available JTT software source code, executables, or firmware necessary for system operation. Estimated schedule impacts and potential lead-time reductions based on receipt of available JTT-NG technical data and software artifacts. Note: The Gov’t has not obtained the data rights to two JTT-NG subsystems. Additional data, certifications, or documentation required to produce JTT-NG units or implement ECP updates. Rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimates for production capacity, scalability, and timelines to ramp up manufacturing. Recommended approaches, partnerships, or technical considerations for alternate source development.
