- Description
- The purpose of this modification to Federal Business Opportunities notice: Reference-Number-24423-BAMS-Draft-Documents is to announce to Industry that the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Program is posting an updated draft Statement Of Objectives (SOO) for Industry consideration. The modifications to the SOO were an outcome of internal reviews and discussions within the government as well as Industry feedback. A draft RFP is anticipated to be released in the October 2006 timeframe, followed by the formal RFP release in January 2007. The draft documents are located on the BAMS UAS website found at https://uav.navair.navy.mil. (once on the site, select BAMS UAS on the left side of the screen; links to the documents are on the top of the BAMS page). The Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) will provide a persistent maritime Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data collection and dissemination capability to the fleet. The BAMS UAS will deliver capability enabling the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Force (MPRF) to meet the Navy's maritime ISR requirements. BAMS UAS full operational capability will provide for up to five simultaneous orbits worldwide. Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for the BAMS UAS is defined as one base unit with sufficient assets, technical data, training systems, and enough spares and support equipment to operationally support one persistent ISR orbit and is planned for FY13. At IOC, the BAMS UAS missions will include, but are not limited to, maritime surveillance, collection of enemy order of battle information, battle damage assessment, port surveillance, communication relay, and support of the following missions - maritime interdiction, surface warfare, battlespace management, and targeting for maritime and littoral strike missions. Comments and recommendations should be sent to the contacts listed below. Comments and recommendations are requested to be submitted at the earliest possible time. The Government will accept comments up to the time of final RFP issuance; however it should be noted that comments received earlier in the acquisition process are more likely to be reviewed and potentially incorporated into the documentation. The Government does not intend to publicly release, post, or respond to comments received nor to individual industry questions. Comments may or may not be incorporated into subsequent documents in future releases. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. THIS SPECIAL NOTICE IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT, NOR WILL THE GOVERNMENT PAY FOR ANY INFORMATION SOLICITED OR PROVIDED. Questions or comments may be addressed to Ms. Clare Carmack at (301) 757-5919, email clare.carmack@navy.mil and Mr. Michael McLoughlin at (301) 757-5898, email michael.mcloughlin@navy.mil.
