Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force, specifically the F-15 Qatar (F-15QA) Foreign Military Sales (FMS) System Program Office (SPO) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, has issued a Sources Sought / Request for Information (RFI). This RFI seeks potential sources to provide Digital Electronic Warfare System (DEWS) Autotest Capability Services. The primary goal is to gather information on qualified vendors and their size classifications to inform future acquisition decisions. Responses are due by 12:00 P.M. EST on February 24, 2026.

Scope of Work

The requirement involves developing and integrating Autotest software for the DEWS. Key anticipated deliverables include:

Software Development: Create Autotest software to control the Advanced Architecture Phase Amplitude and Time Simulator (A2PATS), ingest DEWS System Under Test (SUT) messages, perform pass/fail adjudication, produce standardized reports, and include a graphical user interface (GUI).
Software Delivery, Integration, and Test: Deliver and integrate the Autotest software at a Government-identified DEWS test facility. Testing will verify message processing speed, lineage recording, accuracy (comparable to or exceeding manual procedures), significant speed improvement, and stability for at least eight hours.
Hardware Evaluation: Assess the DEWS test facility's existing Government hardware for compatibility with the Autotest software and recommend necessary updates if existing hardware is insufficient.
