- Description
- Sources are sought in research and development by the Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Directorate Ordnance Division (AFRL/MNM) for Hard Target Influence Fuze Technology (HTIFT) to functionally defeat and/or deny access to facilities and areas. The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to obtain qualification packages from contractors interested in submitting proposals for the Hard Target Influence Fuze system: to design, fabricate and test a module capable of sensing and discriminating both military vehicles and clearing equipment from other vehicles and to develop a preliminary design of the fuze system which uses sensing module data to determine burst point. The system design must show a path to a tactical fuze that will reside within a single cylindrical package which fits within the 3" rear fuze well of inventory weapons, is compatible with existing guidance kits, and survives anticipated impact forces. This program will last approximately 42 months. Firms having applicable interest, capability and background should submit particulars in accordance with Numbered Note 25 to AFRL/MNK, Bldg 13, 101 W. Eglin Blvd, Suite 337, Eglin AFB FL 32542-6810, Attn: Martin Kradlak. Firms will be evaluated on their experience, personnel, and facilities. Responses to this synopsis must be received within 15 days from date of the synopsis publication.

The Air Force reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based on responses hereto. It has been determined that foreign contractors are prohibited from participation. An Ombudsman has been appointed to hear serious concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition.
