- Description
- Electronic Systems Center (ESC), Force Protection Command and Control System Program Office Contracting, ESC/FDK, 5 Eglin Street, Building 1624 1st Floor, Hanscom AFB MA 01731-2100 <br><br> Force Protection-Smart Gate. Contact Point: Lt Tom Wegner, 781 377-5808. Contracting Officer: Ms Alicia Gettman, 781 377-8673. This is not a solicitation, nor is it market research. This is a request for comments on the Air Force?s Draft Smart Gate Performance Specification. In the wake of the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, the Force Protection Program Office has been working a spiral development project to address several user concerns resulting from the increased security measures at base entry control points. The system that we have come up with ensures only authorized personnel are permitted onto military installations. It will do this by leveraging technology to increase security and throughput and ameliorate the need to have additional manpower at the gates. The program office has attempted to capture the major user requirements into a performance specification document and would now like comments from industry. You are encouraged to read the specification and reply with any comments that you believe would enhance the specification as we currently have it. Concurrently, this specification is going through user review. It is envisioned that this specification will be used as the requirements document for future base entry control projects. One goal of this request for comments is to ensure our requirements have not accidentally eliminated a suitable solution that is currently available. Please note that the [HANSCOM] Electronic RFP Bulletin Board (HERBB) will be the primary source of information for this effort. Interested parties should check for updates frequently and subscribe to the HERBB update service for the "Force Protection-Smart Gate?. An Ombudsman has been appointed to address concerns from interested firms during this phase. The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the Program Director or Contracting Officer, but communicates contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate Government official. When requested, the Ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The ESC Ombudsman is Colonel Jerry T. Corley, Director, Commander's Staff. The Ombudsman should be contacted only with issues or problems that have been brought previously to the attention of the Program Manager and/or Contracting Officer and could not be resolved satisfactorily at that level. You can contact the Ombudsman at (781) 377-5106. Interested parties should respond to this request, in writing, within 15 days of this publication to ESC/FDK, 5 Eglin Street, Building 1624 1st Floor, Hanscom AFB MA 01731-2100, Attn: Ms Alicia Gettman. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) nor does its issuance restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach. The Government will not reimburse the contractor for any cost associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice.
