The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this request for information nor to otherwise pay for the information submitted in response to this RFI. Description: The intent of this RFI is to determine the availability of viable interested sources for transitioning the RAAD design from Massachusetts Institute of Technology -Lincoln Laboratory (MIT-LL) into production. Capabilities may include performing design finalization, manufacturing, and producibility engineering in coordination with MIT-LL, and eventual manufacturing of RAADs for test, production, and field support. The information provided in response to this RFI may be used by the Army in developing its acquisition strategy and statement of work/statement of objectives and performance specifications. The final RAAD product may become the Detector for use in the Joint Biological Point Detection System (JBPDS) and Joint Portal Shield (JPS). Responses to this RFI must be limited to 5 pages in length, and must not contain classified material. Responses should address the following: 1.Extent of experience in ruggedized Laser Electro-optical biological detection systems in terms of: a.Experience in biological detection and detection algorithms b.Experience in development finalization (Reliability, Maintainability, Quality, Producibility, Logistics, Electrical, Mechanical, and Software) c.Experience with transition of designs from Development to Production i.Experience in transition from a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC). d.Experience in production: i.Varying yearly production rates ranging from 50 per year to 300 per year. ii.Similar scale effort to the potential maximum production of 1700 RAADs. iii.Integration of spare requirements into production. f. Post-production Support (Spares, etc). 2.Demonstrated ability to work with prime integrating contractors. 3.Experience in development test/operational testing environment. a.Demonstrated experience dealing with the DoD test and evaluation process. 4.Description of respondents Management Structure. a.List current quality certification programs ( ISO 9000, etc). 5.Current corporate facilities available for this effort for development and production. 6.
