A -- A, MAGNETIC LEVITATION UPGRADE, PHASE II SOL F08635-94-C-0016 DUE 032895 POC Elizabeth A. Gordon, Contracting Officer,(505)475-1245. The Holloman High Speed Test Track (HHSTT) at Holloman Air Force Base New Mexico conducts tests of weapon systems and their components. The HHSTT is currently developing a Magnetic Levitation (MagLev) Upgrade program to achieve reliable test velocities in the hypersonic regime. A contract for the Mag Lev upgrade was awarded in July 1994, and Phase I should be completed in September 1995. In Phase I, a prototype wing and guideway will be fabricated and laboratory tested to verify computer simulations predicting that the initial design will comply with the System Specification. The Phase II effort consists of the following: finalize the design of the magnetic levitation, braking and propulsion systems and field testing of a prototype wing and guideway, fabricate and procure all components for the magnetic levitation, braking, and propulsion systems, install the magnetic levitation, braking, and propulsion systems at the Holloman High Speed Test Track, plan and conduct final field acceptance testing to demonstrate the Mag Lev system meets the performance requirements. The required schedule for Phase II is 28 months. The Air Force Development Test Center, 46th Test Group intends to award the Phase II effort by the exercise of Not To Exceed options on the existing contract with General Atomics, San Diego, CA. Based of information available at this time, and in accordance with 10 USC 2304(c)(1), the Government considers Phase II of the Magnetic Levitation Upgrade Program to be a sole source acquisition. However, should additional firms be identified, they will be considered. Companies who feel they can meet the requirements, based upon the criteria and time frames specified herein, are invited to submit in writing an affirmative response to this announcement within 30 days of publication of this notice. For additional technical information, contact Mr. Jim Lenzo, 846 TS/TGTM, Holloman AFB NM, (505)679-2659. An affirmative response must included information responsive to the criteria and time frames identified in this announcement. This synopsis may represent the Government's only notice of this acquisition. See Note 22. (0062)
