The RFI attachment has been updated. The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the repair data, expertise, capabilities, manufacturing, engineering, software development, maintenance and experience to meet qualification requirements to repair and sustain the Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar System (ASARS)-2 components and ground support equipment. The level of security clearance and amount of overseas continental United States participation in this requirement has not been determined. The Government does not own or have access to the data for the ASARS-2 sensor. The Government has determined that this system is a noncommercial item. The Air Force requires long-term support and sustainment of the ASARS-2, which provides near-real-time high-resolution, long-range imagery from ground returns during day or night, in all weather conditions. Air Combat Command A5 requirements provide for an over-arching sustainment program for the U-2. The Contract Logistics Support (CLS) includes engineering support, the repair of spare assets, resolution of system failures and issues to ensure availability, reliability, and maintainability of the fielded equipment and software. This effort requires cybersecurity support and sustainment in accordance with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 503, and the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) process, Cybersecurity Impact Evaluation Recommendation (CIER) for all changes and modifications of this effort to incorporate in the U-2S Approval to The Air Force requires long-term support and sustainment of the ASARS-2, which provides near-real-time high-resolution, long-range imagery from ground returns during day or night, in all weather conditions.
