The United States Air Force is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the repair data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements to repair the APX-119 Identification of Friend or Foe (IFF) Systems and ALE-50 Launcher Controller. The APX-119 IFF Systems provide the interface between the aircraft's identification system and air traffic control, as well as friendly forces. The ALE-50 system is an electronic countermeasures (ECM) system designed to increase the survivability of aircraft. The Government does not own or have access to the data for these items to organically repair/modify or compete the repairs/modifications. Key aspects of the opportunity include: • The APX-119 IFF Systems and ALE-50 Launcher Controller repair requirements • The need for contractors to provide documentation that supports their company's capability in meeting these requirements • The encouragement of large and small businesses to participate in this Market Research • The possibility of joint ventures or teaming arrangements • The requirement for contractors to furnish all material, support equipment, tools, test equipment, and services • The need for contractors to provide a detailed listing of facilities and equipment required to satisfy the requirements of this effort
