The US Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) Strategic Communications Division, Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts is exploring ideas for a follow-on Production Contract for the Baseband Interface Group (BIG) and BIG-Airborne (BIG-A) National Security Agency (NSA). Initial Production efforts were covered by the development contractor under an NSA contract. This is a follow-on effort for a quantity of NSA certified Production Units and individual Shop Replaceable Unit (SRU) board level components to be utilized until Depot level support for the BIG and BIG-A is established.
The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources possessing the necessary data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to deliver Production Units and SRU board level components, maintaining the NSA certification and maintaining the Nuclear Hardness and Survivability (NH&S) certification through a Production effort as the BIG and BIG-A transition from the NSA contract to future activities.
The period of performance will be three years.
