This announcement constitutes a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential procurement sources for E-2D Advanced Hawkeye Advanced Studies and Services efforts. This effort includes, but is not limited to trade studies, such as system level performance analysis, weight reduction, S&T integration studies, and joint strategic planning/roadmap activities. These efforts would include support at meetings, telecons/VTCs, status updates and technical reports, experimentation efforts supporting both live aircraft integration, flight events, and laboratory testing in a Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) environment. These efforts could potentially include prototype software and hardware development, the development data packages to support flight clearance efforts, modeling, and simulation of future capabilities. Deliverables for these efforts would include status updates, prototype software packages, and technical reports.

The Government does not possess the complete Technical Data Package (TDP) for the E-2D. If you believe you are capable of meeting this capability, demonstrate that your company currently possesses or has authorized access to the necessary technical data, or has a viable plan to obtain, generate, or otherwise secure the necessary technical data, and that it will be maintained throughout the duration of the effort being solicited. You may also highlight unique data generation techniques used by your company, or areas where modifications can be performed, or the capability can be provided, without technical data provided by the Government or OEM. For the FY25 through FY30 contract, interested businesses shall demonstrate the capability to meet the Government’s required timeline. You may also submit information that demonstrates how you could potentially meet this requirement for future production opportunities.

The E-2D program office plans to utilize these services and supplies to support E-2 aircraft from FY25 through FY30.

Additionally, the vendor will complete all projects, engineering and logistics services and provide technical assistance required under this program to support studies/research efforts. Interested vendors must meet pre- qualification requirements in order to be eligible for consideration. This is NOT a Request for Proposal (RFP). Firms that can meet the USN’s requirement in the timelines identified above are encouraged to identify themselves.

Vendors interested in responding to the RFI shall provide a one to two page overview statement addressing the following: 1) Brief statement of interest/capabilities; 2) Any other information at vendor discretion such as catalogs, drawings/illustrations, technical manuals, training description/material, pricing, testing documentation, brochures and/or any other documentation that describes the capabilities, interfaces and specifications; 3) Respondents should identify any Government customer who has procured these services that meet the requirements and provide customer point of contact, including a telephone number, e-mail address or web site. Responses may be submitted electronically to the email address provided below. Responses are requested by 08 April 2025. Earliest possible response is encouraged. Responses will be reviewed and additional information may be requested from individual vendors if desired by the Government.

This RFI does not constitute a commitment from the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award or awards, or be responsible for any monies expended by any interested party in support of the effort described above. The Government reserves the right to review and use the data submitted at its own discretion. Upon request, the Government will protect proprietary information from unwanted disclosure. Any such requests shall be submitted with the statement of capabilities. Email responses to [Dariusz McKenzie] at [dariusz.m.mckenzie.civ@us.navy.mil].
