- Description
- The AAC/EBDZ/EBDK, Joint Programmable Fuze (JPF) Program Office will be conducting a competitive source selection in FY11 for the award of a JPF Follow-on Production contract for delivery of an initial Lot of JPF systems plus 6 optional Lots on an annual basis. In the event that the competitive contract is awarded to a source other than the incumbent, the JPF Program plans to award a separate sole source bridge contract to Kaman Precision Products, Inc., 6655 E. Colonial Drive, Orlando, FL, 32807-5200. The initial award will contain a minimal number of fuze systems (approximately 372 units) but could contain more depending on funding and other considerations. The proposed bridge contract will consist of (1) base year of approximately 10,000 JPF fuze deliveries and spares plus one (1) option year of approximately 8,000 JPF fuze deliveries and spares in order to assure continuous deliveries to the warfighter during the start-up period under the competitively awarded contract. The FMU-152A/B Joint Programmable Fuze (JPF) is a cockpit-selectable bomb fuze employed in MK-80 series warheads (both guided and unguided variations), and both the 2000lb and 5000lb series Penetrator warheads. The FMU-152A/B fuze system consists of the fuze, the FZU-55A/B fuze initiator and the FZU-63A/B fuze initiator, a closure ring, and power cable. Spares for the fuze system would consist of the FZU-55A/B initiator, the FZU-63A/B initiator, power cable, closure ring, compatibility hardware for GBU-15/AGM-130 configuration, and a small variety of sub-tier components. In addition to the required spares, the government may require additional procurement of JPF trainers in the following configurations: 1. The FMU-152A(D-1)/B configuration consists of a non-explosive fuze with working electronics and the closure ring used for laboratory and pilot familiarization and proficiency training and 2. The FMU-152A(D-2)/B configuration consists of the FZU-55 initiator, power cable, closure ring, compatibility hardware for GBU-15/AGM-130 configuration, shipping plug, and is used for load crew standardization and weapon assembly familiarization training. The government intends to solicit and negotiate this bridge contract with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii).
