The U.S. Air Force is conducting market research to identify firms capable of repairing, sustaining, and supporting the U‑2 Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar System‑2 (ASARS‑2). The effort covers full‑life‑cycle services including engineering support, depot maintenance, software updates, cybersecurity compliance, reverse‑engineering of components, and provision of all necessary tools, test equipment, and materials. Respondents must demonstrate capability to handle classified material, meet NIST and CMMC security standards, and support both hardware and software aspects of the radar system.
• Engineering, repair, and diagnostic services for 22 listed ASARS‑2 components (e.g., Receiver Exciter Controllers, On‑Board Processor, Antenna Power Supply).
• Cybersecurity and compliance work covering NIST SP 800‑171, NIST SP 800‑53, ICD 503, CMMC, and related RMF processes.
• Depot Maintenance Support Teams to perform software updates, DMS engineering, configuration management, and specialized in‑plant repairs.
