- The Air Armament Center, 708th Armament Systems Group, Eglin AFB FL, is planning an acquisition strategy for the follow on production of the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) for production lots 12 thru 17. If any potential offeror feels they can meet the requirements outlined below, they should deliver a Statement of Capabilities in accordance with Numbered Note 25 specifically defining their capabilities. The JDAM is a low cost, GPS aided, inertial guidance kit for inventory 500 lb., 1000 lb., and 2000 lb. bombs. The total quantities to be procured are to replace units used in test, training and operations. The objectives of the JDAM Lot 12-17 production program are to fabricate a high quality JDAM weapon system that performs in accordance with the draft System Requirements Document (SRD) and is fully integrated and qualified for employment from the aircraft identified in the SRD. The following delivery schedule must be met or exceeded; Contract Award - Oct 2007, first delivery of fully qualified production units - NLT March 2009. An estimated 5,317 tail kits are required in Lot 12 with an estimated FY08 budget of $119.1M. The current estimate for lot quantities is as follows: Lot 12 - 5,317, Lot 13 - 5,326, Lot 14 - 5,250, Lot 15 - 5,234, Lot 16 - 3,509, Lot 17 - 3,447. Potential offerors would be required to provide all three variants of the JDAM tailkit that are already certified for the aircraft and loadouts IAW the JDAM Aircraft ICD and the SRD. The current budget only supports the production of JDAM tailkits. Any required qualification or integration testing costs, such as a First Article Acceptance Test (FAAT) program, would be applied to the production price.
