Scope
OBJECTIVE: The USAF E-3G AWACS provides worldwide response to situations requiring immediate and continuous on-scene command, control, and battle management using embedded real-time surveillance to support employment of U.S. and allied combat forces.
The E-3G consists of the air vehicle, sensor systems, and computing and communications equipment.
The current USAF E-3G operational fleet consists of 15 operational aircraft.
The E-3G DAR-400 (part numbers 63-2824652-01 through -03) is a mission critical asset and is in critical need of obsolescence resolution to prevent mission impact.
Since the DAR-400 contains encrypted MCS, MSS, IPEC and GS data, a failure would directly impact operations and data security.
General Dynamics Mission Systems (GDMS) has notified us that the DAR-400 will not be able to support or upgrade to changing NSA requirements.
SCOPE: To execute the installation and integration of the obsolescence resolution for the mission-critical E-3G DAR-400 to prevent mission impact.
The provided Government-owned KG-204 based solution is compliant with current DoD and NSA mandates to replace the legacy DAR-400 equipment.

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
