AN/UPX-50 Common Core Digital Interrogator (CCDI) Productionization

The Naval Air Systems Command is seeking information from potential contractors for the productionization of the AN/UPX-52 Common Core Digital Interrogator (CCDI). The CCDI is an update to the AN/UPX-50(C) DI, addressing obsolescence issues and combining the AN/UPX-24 and Digital Interrogator into one system for Department of Defense Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System/Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) Mark XIIA System certification. The required capabilities include deliveries of AN/UPX 50 CCDI EDMs beginning in December 2026, highly specialized skills to meet the stringent schedule, and integration of highly complex contractor-developed algorithms. Interested contractors must submit a brief capabilities statement package demonstrating their ability to meet the requirements, including company profile, prior industry experience, management approach, and ability to begin performance immediately upon contract award. The Government is not obligated to award a contract as a result of this announcement, and no funds are available to pay for preparation of responses. • The AN/UPX-52 CCDI is an update to the AN/UPX-50(C) DI. • The CCDI includes integration of highly complex contractor-developed algorithms. • The system is specialized for operation with the Aegis Weapon System (AWS) and Ship’s Self Defense System (SSDS). • Interested parties must include a detailed explanation of how they would complete the CCDI productionization requirements without a Government-furnished TDP.
