REQUEST FOR INFORMATION for a Target Control System (TCS) Sustainment and Support (S/S).
This is a Request for Information (RFI) notice only. This RFI is for informational planning purposes and is not to be

services. This notice does not constitute a solicitation or a promise of a solicitation in the future. The Government

for any proprietary information not properly marked or clearly identified. Proprietary information received in response
to this RFI will be safeguarded and handled in accordance with applicable Government regulations.
In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not considered offers
and will not be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract or agreement. The Government will not accept
unsolicited proposals. The Government will not be obligated to pursue any proposal or particular alternative because

This RFI supports Government information gathering on current industry vendors to support over-all mission
objectives of the Aerial Targets Branch (EBAY) Target Control System (TCS) program to enable realistic aerial
threat/target presentations for United States Code (USC) Title 10 Live Fire Test & Evaluation (LFT&E) of new
Department of Defense (DoD) advanced weapon systems and Weapons System Evaluation Program (WSEP)
assessment of fielded weapon systems. The estimated Period of Performance is one (1) year base, plus four (4) option
periods.
It is the responsibility of potential offerors to monitor your email for additional information pertaining to the TCS
Sustainment and Support effort via the EWACC vendor list.
General and Background Information: This RFI supports market research, being conducted by the Aerial Targets
Branch, Target Control System (AFLCMC/EBAY/TCS) of the Armament Directorate at Eglin AFB, FL, to ensure
successful sustainment of EBAY/TCS assets.
EBAY will retain Configuration Management (CM) authority for specific production baseline assets and their related
support equipment items. These baseline assets (henceforth referred to as “EBAY subsystems”) include:
1) Data Link Subsystem-Replacement (DLS-r): The DLS-r is the functional replacement for the legacy 1980’s Data
Link Subsystem (DLS). The DLS-r subsystem provides ground-based, RF datalink communications necessary
for remote mission operations (OPS) among the aerial targets, other mission participants, and ground control.
2) 915MHz Datalink Test Set (915DTS): The 915DTS is the Peculiar Support Equipment (PSE) item used for DLSr
production acceptance and Government DLS-r Operations & Maintenance (O&M).
3) Multi-Service Data Link – Encrypted (MSDL-E) Transponder: The MSDL-E transponder serves as the on-board
(integrated within mission aircraft) RF datalink transceiver that enables remote mission OPS among the aerial
targets, other mission participants, and ground control.
In support of USC Title 10 and WSEP weapon system objectives, these EBAY subsystems enable command & control
(C2) and target/threat presentation of: (1) current EBAY target platforms (i.e., the QF-16 Full Scale Aerial Target
(FSAT) and BQM-167A Subscale Aerial Target (SSAT)); (2) future EBAY target platforms, (e.g., Next Generation
Aerial Target (NGAT)). In addition, the subsystems enable tracking of other mission-critical airborne platforms (i.e.,
airborne relay aircraft and Airborne Platform Telemetry (APTM, for tracking boat traffic on the range)).
Current EBAY locations include:
1) Tyndall AFB, FL: For FSAT/SSAT Mission OPS on the Eglin Gulf Test & Training Range (EGTTR), and
independent (ground-based only) System Test & Training
2) Utah Test & Training Range (UTTR), UT: For SSAT Mission OPS on UTTR
3) White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), NM: For FSAT Mission OPS on WSMR
4) Eglin AFB, FL: For Advanced Airborne Threat Target Control System (AATTCS) and DLS-r/915DTS
software/firmware development

This is an annual update for the below referenced Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) solicitation in accordance with DFARS 212.7004(b).

The Eastern Range (SLD 45) and Western Range (SLD 30) are offering a CSO authorized by DFARS 212.70, Defense Commercial Solutions Opening (DFARS Case 2022-D006). Under a CSO, the USSF may competitively award contracts to proposals received in response to a general solicitation, similar to a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA), to acquire innovative commercial items, technologies, and services, based on a review of proposals by scientific, technological, or other subject-matter expert peers within the USSF. Under this CSO, all items, technologies, and services shall be treated as commercial items.

The USSF intends to obtain "innovative" solutions or potential new capabilities that fulfill requirements, close capability gaps, or provide potential technology advancements. Solutions may include existing technologies or procedures, not currently in use by the USSF, that would enhance or streamline USSF mission capabilities. “Innovative” means any technology, process, or method, including research and development, that is new as of the date of submission of a proposal, or any application that is new as of the date of submission of a proposal of a technology, process, or method existing as of such date.

This is a CSO with Calls. This solicitation is not requesting any white papers or proposals at this time. This CSO is the overarching umbrella solicitation from which Calls will be issued by SLD 30 and SLD 45. This CSO will remain open for Calls indefinitely with an annual update. This CSO can result in the award of FAR Part 12 Contracts or Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) under 10 USC 4002 and 4003. The Government further reserves the right to award all, part, or none of the proposals received. All Calls issued under this CSO will include specific instructions including dates and times, Areas of Interest (AOIs), evaluation criteria and proposal instructions to potential offerors. While each offeror shall adhere to this CSO, the Calls may contain additional information the offeror shall adhere to. Each Call will be announced on the Government Point of Entry (SAM.gov (https://sam.gov/content/home/)) as well as other media, which may result in the award of a FAR Part 12 contract or an OTA, if deemed in the Government’s best interest. The Calls will contain broadly defined AOIs and more specific problem topic interest areas. While these AOIs are geared toward meeting requirements at PSFB and VSFB, the Government reserves the right to award contracts under this CSO to meet Government requirements at other locations with similar AOIs and problem topic interest areas. Over the course of this time period, the 30th Contracting Squadron (30 CONS) and the 45th Contracting Squadron (45 CONS) may publish Calls under this CSO. These calls will contain specific AOIs related to PSFB’s and VSFB’s missions. Prospective offerors shall focus their solutions towards the AOIs issued under CSO Calls.

All details of the CSO Call process shall be governed by this CSO unless otherwise noted or expanded upon in each Call. The Government is not obligated to make any awards as a result of this CSO and/or Calls issued under this CSO, and all awards are subject to the availability of funds and successful negotiations. The Government is not responsible for any monies expended by the offeror prior to the issuance of any contract award to include, but not limited to, bid and proposal cost. The Government reserves the right to amend the solicitation requirements of this CSO and each subsequent Call.
