No solicitation is being issued at this time and this notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this effort is 334511; with a small business size standard of 750 employees. No solicitation is being issued at this time and this notice shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract.

Therefore, the Government does not possess, and will not be able to provide a technical data package to potential offerors relative to the GBU-57 MOP system. An Ombudsman has been appointed to address concerns of potential sources. 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 contracting point of contact identified below. The Ombudsman is Ms. Jill Willingham, AFLCMC/AQP, phone 937-255-5472. If e-mailing your Statement of Capability, please send it in a PDF or MS Word format. Responses should be submitted to Capt Scott Schneider, Contracting Officer by e-mail at scott.schneider@us.af.mil or Anthony Porter, Contract Specialist at anthony.porter.7@us.af.mil no later than May 07, 2015.
