ITEM DESCRIPTION The ACQ-7 Integrated Conventional Stores Management System (ICSMS) is used on the B-52 aircraft. This system is a bombing navigational control system that controls the conventional weapons storage of the B-52. The keyboard is used for manual inputs for the ICSMS from the flight crew. The Interface is the link between the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the ICSMS. The Interface relays GPS data to the ACQ-7 system to accurately plot the target.

The Government does not own any data, drawings, schematics, or any other releasable technical data in support of this requirement. As a result, Boeing is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the ACQ-7 performance requirements and possession of the required technical data and capabilities needed to produce this item and ensure compatibility of the equipment. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to Boeing for the manufacture of the keyboard and interface unit in support of the B-52 program. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 15 September 2015 by emailing John Edwards at john.edwards.8@us.af.mil or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil.
