- Description
- BACKGROUND: The U.S. Air Force, Air Combat Command (ACC), is tasked with the operations, maintenance, and support of the Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS). The primary mission of TARS is to support the U.S. Customs Service, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) in counter-narcotics and drug surveillance missions in support of U.S. national security objectives. The program consists of 10 sites along the southern border of the US and 1 site in Puerto Rico. POTENTIAL NEED: The purpose of this announcement is to identify sources capable of providing Class IV 420K aerostats. The Air Force's initial procurement of one (1) 420K aerostat, with the option for three (3) more, will be procured as a subcontract under the TARS OM&S prime contract. In addition, the Air Force intends to procure up to 10 additional units in which ACC CONS will be the procurement office. The sources sought and resulting market research information will be used to support both procurement efforts. As such, potential offerors should identify in the data submitted to the Air Force any proprietary information that should not be released to the TARS OM&S contractor. ACC is accomplishing market research in an attempt to promote full and open competition to the maximum extent practicable and to define our requirements in terms that will enable and encourage offerors to supply commercial items/services, if possible. We invite all sources to participate in our market research in support of meeting the ACC mission. Potential offerors are given an opportunity to comment on this requirement. . Due to the limited number of design packages and the high cost of reproduction, only those potential offerors that can reasonably expect to meet our requirement should request a copy. If you have interest in this requirement, you are requested to submit a summary of your capabilities, your opinion on the commerciality of this requirement, and identify if you would desire to meet with ACC representatives to obtain further details. The Government anticipates an industry conference o/a 14/15 July 1999. Please advise of your availability to participate. Again, identify in your correspondence if items should be protected from release outside the government due to proprietary and/or competitive restrictions. Summaries should be received at ACC CONS no later than 12 July 1999 and can be submitted by any of the following means: By Mail: ACC Contracting Squadron/LGCO Attention: Ms. Vicki Wilkinson 11817 Canon Boulevard, Suite 306 Newport News, VA 23606-4516 By Email: vicki.wilkinson@langley.af.mill By FAX: (757) 764-9153 Cite: F44650-99-R0011 Standard Industrial Code (SIC): 3721 NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (24-JUN-1999).
