- Description
- ACC TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION EXCHANGE EVENTS In the full spirit of OSD's Better Buying Power 2.0 initiatives, the Air Combat Command (HQ ACC), as the primary provider of air combat forces to America's warfighting commanders, intends to reinstate its Technology Information Exchange (TIE) initiative. These TIEs are designed to bring industry representatives together with HQ ACC senior leaders to generate and sustain an ongoing dialogue on emerging technologies relevant to our combat airpower missions to include fighter, bomber, reconnaissance, battle management and electronic combat domains. To be clear, invited organizations participating in TIEs do not receive any financial reimbursement from ACC or the Air Force. Each TIE session, hosted by a HQ ACC General Officer or civilian equivalent, evolves from a distinct presentation intended to facilitate executive-level discussion between ACC & Industry, with particular combat airpower technology focus on corporate independent research and development (IR&D) projects. With the potential for mutual benefit for both ACC & industry, HQ ACC's intent afford Industry the opportunity to add clarity to their understanding of combat air forces capability needs, gaps and influence to enable more focused IR&D programs (without any financial reimbursement) in near, mid-, and far term corporate investment IR&D commitments. In these sets of TIE dialogues, ACC is also committed to safeguarding corporate proprietary information, and intellectual property, in accordance with FAR 3.104 and other regulations. ACC has long supported the AF IR&D Program office's initiatives, as executed from AFRL/XPP at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, to reinvigorate the dialogue with Industry to raise awareness of the exceptional technology work done in the Industrial base - this TIE initiative complements that IR&D portfolios. We will continue to partner with them in these endeavors. This is a Request for Information (RFI) in accordance with FAR 15.201 (b). THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. This is not a request for contractual offers. RFIs are used to gather information from industry without any promise of a current or future contract or requirement. Information provided cannot be used to create a binding contract. Respondents to the RFI will not be reimbursed for the information provided to HQ ACC. This is a request for information from companies currently conducting IR&D in relevant areas; not a request for companies that may be able to conduct research. Only those companies with demonstrated success in addressing Department of Defense (DoD) capability development in their IR&D programs should consider responding to this RFI. Using the point of contact information listed below, please e-mail the two following items: (1) brief description and depth of your organization's IR&D program (use Arial font 12, no more than two pages) (2) and point(s) of contact for further coordination if necessary. Questions on the format for deliverables above, please contact the TIE Coordinator listed below. All responses are due no later than, close of business, 26 July 2013. HQ ACC will use the responses to determine what emerging technologies are available in the marketplace. The ACC team then intends to invite submitters of key IR&D initiatives germane to the combat airpower capabilities and mutually seek ways of implementing IR&D technologies into warfighting needs. Point of Contact: ACC's Strategy and Planning Branch (A5/8XX) at DSN 574-4586, Commercial 757-764-4586 or email, ACC.A5.8XX@langley.af.mil. TIE Coordinator: Capt Juan C De Alba Ascencio
