The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is conducting market research for a Range Safety and Telemetry System (RSTS) which requires integration with an Early Launch Tracking System (ELTS). The information contained herein only initiates communication with industry in order to assess market potential. No solicitation document exists at this time. This Request for Information (RFI) constitutes no Government obligation to procure these items or issue a solicitation. The Government does not have an obligation to pay for information responding to this RFI and will not accept any responses as offers.

MDA is seeking alternate sources to provide the Range Safety and Telemetry System. If no alternate sources are identified, the Government intends to issue a modification on contract number HQ0855-22-D-0001 to Alaska Aerospace Corporation (AAC) (4300B St STE 101, Anchorage, Alaska 99503; CAGE: 018J4) under Statutory Authority 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2) – Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Based on currently available information, MDA believes that only AAC is capable of providing the RSTS which will be integrated with the ELTS for use in the INDOPACOM.

The Government anticipates a cost plus incentive fee award. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541715 - Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology). The Product Service Code (PSC) code is AC13: National Defense Research and Development Services; Department of Defense - Military; Experimental Development. The anticipated award date is May 2023.

The system shall work in a variety of environments including dry, tropical, temperate and continental conditions. The system shall have the ability to integrate with the ELTS. Any contractor responding to this notice shall ensure their proposed system is operational, available and ready by contract award. Submissions or responses requiring check out, certification or integration of RSTS subsystems or components will be rejected as non-responsive.
