Please direct all questions and responses regarding this Sources Sought directly to the PCO, Ian Morris.This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought for Common Weapons Engagement Zone (CWEZ) for the F-16 aircraft. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the US Government. The following information is to identify potential contractors who have the skills, experience, and knowledge required to successfully provide the described capability. AFLCMC/WAM F-16 System Program Office intends to award an IDIQ contract for 5 years to provide the the F-16 Aircraft Weapons System Division updating of CWEZ software on the F-16 Weapon System to include Software Capabilities Upgrade (SCU), Multi-Mission Computer (MMC M-Series), EPAF MLU F-16 Blk 15 Weapon System Operational Flight Program (OFP). The contractor-delivered CWEZ software will be integrated into the above listed OFP programs on their respective F-16 platforms

by the US Air Force. This action is being conducted to identify potential sources capable of meeting the requirements for the following examples, but not limited to the following draft statement of work: 1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIESThis Statement of Work (SOW) defines the effort for this IDIQ of the F-16 Aircraft Weapons System Division updating of Common Weapon Engagement Zone (CWEZ) software on the F-16 Weapon System to include, Software Capabilities Upgrade (SCU), Multi Mission Computer (MMC M-Series), EPAF MLU F-16 Block 15 Weapon System Operational Flight Program (OFP). The contractor shall deliver CWEZ software to the US Air Force. The contractor delivered CWEZ software will be integrated into the above listed OFP programs on their respective F-16 platforms by the US Air Force.2.0 SCOPEThe F-16 Weapon System CWEZ Integration program includes re-host of the Zone Acquisition Process (ZAP) software into the Applicable F-16 weapons system defined under each Delivery Order (DO) per this IDIQ. The contractor developed CWEZ software will be integrated by 309th SMXG personnel at Hill AFB.3.0 CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS3.1 Software Language ConversionFor each missile model in the current CWEZ version of ZAP, the contractor shall deliver to the US Air Force re-hosted C++ language software for integration into the aircraft OFP. All of the software test drivers delivered shall also be converted to C++ as necessary.3.2 Software efforts3.2.1 The ZAP software will include the most current missile models that are resident in the current CWEZ version of ZAP software. These include the AIM-9M, AIM-9XBLK-I/II, AIM-120B, AIM-120C, AIM-120C5/C7, AIM-120D.3.2.2 The models will be converted from existing models and no new missile functionality will be required.3.2.3 The missile models will reflect the truth simulations provided by Raytheon.3.2.4 The following Example of capabilities but not limited to, below will be delivered or required under each D/O ofthis IDIQ:1. AIM-9X Block I Air to Ground WEZ2. AIM-9X Block I Zone 1-4 simulation adapted to maneuver zone (RMAX, RTR, RTC, RMIN)3. AIM-9X Block II Zone 1- 4 simulation adapted to maneuver zone (RMAX, RTR, RTC, RMIN)4. AIM 9X Block II Air to Ground WEZ5. AMRAAM all variants simulation adapted to maneuver zone (RMAX, RTR, RTC, RMIN)6. Provide Decoupled Weapon Engagement Zone (DWEZ) software and any new updates for AIM-9M, AIM-9X BLK-I/II, and all AMRAAM variants as they become available.3.3 Software Rights and Licensing3.3.1 The contactor shall identify the computer software subparts that it, its subcontractors or suppliers, assert should be furnished with restrictions on use, release or disclosure. For each software piece identified, the supplier shall provide a reason for the restriction along with the party claiming the restriction. 3.4 Integration SupportThe contractor shall provide integration support to the US Air Force for the delivered re-hosted C++ software. This support shall consist of Common WEZ analysis of potential software integration and test deficiencies/issues with F-16 Weapons System(s) OFP software. 3.5 Interface Memorandum SystemThe contractor shall establish an Interface Memorandum (IFM) system to provide a formal correspondence system with WWMPA. An IFM shall be used as a form of communication between the contractor, WWMPA, and the 309th.3.6 Program ManagementThe contractor per this IDIQ shall monitor, assess, manage, and mitigate risks to cost, schedule and technical performance throughout the period of performance of each D/O to include but not limited to the following examples:Shall conduct or attend the following but not limited to program meetings:1.
