Provide depot, hardware, and software lifecycle support for Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS) under the NAWCAD WOLF ATC&LS program, including depot repair/maintenance/storage for specific JPALS components, hardware support, software sustainment (deficiency Identification and resolution), and engineering/obsolescence management. Also supply In-Service Engineering Activity (ISEA), installation and integration, Program Management Review (PMR), guidance quality model support, and Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A) for JPALS-related modeling and simulation. The effort covers ensuring fleet operability through 2040 and requires capabilities to upgrade and test JPALS airborne algorithms, perform VV&A, and support ECPs and obsolescence.

This is a follow-on effort where Collins Aerospace Government Systems, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of JPALS, is noted as the only company with the necessary knowledge and expertise. The contract is anticipated to be sole-source and will cover both supplies and services, with a mix of cost-plus-award-fee, firm-fixed-price, and cost-reimbursement CLINs. Interested firms should prepare a capabilities statement demonstrating the ability to meet the listed capabilities and address each specified requirement.
