What this contract is for

The United States Air Force (USAF), AFLCMC/WNR, has a requirement to develop, integrate, and produce a scaled-down version of the Advanced Radar Threat System-Variant 3 (ARTS-V3), referred to as the ARTS-V3 Subscale. This system will provide a mobile high-fidelity threat simulator to increase threat density on test and training ranges. The Government currently estimates a total production volume between 0 and 60 subscale X and C band systems, with an indeterminate quantity of each. This Sources Sought Notice is issued for the purpose of conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of satisfying the requirement and to determine if any other sources can overcome the significant technical, schedule, and cost constraints outlined in Section 2. The Government does not intend to award a contract based on this sources sought or to otherwise pay for the information solicited except as an allowable cost under other contracts as provided in subsection 31.205-18, Bid and proposal costs, of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Although "proposal" and "offeror" may be used in this document, your response will be treated as information only. It shall not be used as a proposal.

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.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
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.
