- Description
- The Air Armament Center, 308th Armament Systems Wing, 808th Armament Systems Group, 687th Armament Systems Squadron is planning to award a sole source contract to The Boeing Company, Directed Energy Systems, 8531 Fallbrook Ave, West Hills, CA, 91304-3232. The 687 ARSS requires services to operate, maintain, and repair residual hardware from the Advanced Tactical Laser (ATL) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) program, located at Kirtland AFB, NM, and to conduct an Extended User Evaluation (EUE) of the prototype system. The Government does not own drawings, software documentation, operating procedures, or component specifications for this highly complex, proprietary, prototype system. Therefore, it is envisioned that the only suitable contractor for this effort is the incumbent. The contract for this effort will be awarded not later than 30 Sep 2008. The contractor will be expected to prepare the ATL system for high-power laser operations on the ground and for flight operations approximately 8 times per year. A commensurate level of systems engineering, design, and program management support, including system safety, will be required to operate, maintain, and repair the system in a timely manner to support the required operations. An indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract is anticipated with firm-fixed price and time and material task orders. It is estimated that the total contract period of performance will not exceed three (3) years from time of award. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. The clause at 5352.201-9101, Ombudsman, is applicable to this procurement. An Ombudsman has been appointed to address concerns of offerors or potential offerors. The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program manager or contracting officer, but communicates contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals or in the source selection process. Matters of routine or administrative nature concerning this acquisition should not be addressed to the Ombudsman, but rather to the points of contact identified below. The AAC Ombudsman is BGen Michael N. Wilson, AAC/CV, (850) 882-5422, or michael.wilson2@eglin.af.mil. For further information concerning technical aspects, contact Dr. Charlie Helms, (850) 883-3215 or e-mail charles.helms@eglin.af.mil or Maj Scott Foreman, (850) 882-0314 or e-mail scott.foreman@eglin.af.mil. The Government Contracting Officer for this effort is Ms. Grisselle Nusimow, (850) 883-0520, e-mail grisselle.nusimow@eglin.af.mil. See numbered note 22.
