INDUSTRY DAY FOR JOINT AIR-TO-SURFACE STANDOFF MISSILE (JASSM) POC For contracting information, contact Ms Jackie Leitzel, (904) 882-8355, ext 301. For technical information, contact Major Gary Barton, (904) 882-8002, ext 3206. This is a request for information IAW FAR 52.215.3, to identify interested parties for the purpose of sharing information regarding industry capabilities to provide a low-cost precision-strike standoff weapon system with a range greater than 100 nm compatible with Air Force, Navy and Marine Bomber and fighter aircraft. Participation will be limited to U.S. firms only. This is not a notice of intent to procure. The Weapons, Air Base and Range Product Support Office, Aeronautical Systems Center, Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, perceives a possible need for a streamlined acquisition program for a weapon system which could meet a short-term (18-24 months) pre-EMD program resulting in a ``fly-off'' of two or more competitors. Interested potential prime contractors are requested to submit a letter within (15) calendar days of this announcement which includes a list of key management and engineering personnel along with their security clearance to receive program information (see last paragraph). The letter should include a brief outline of the system or system modification for which the firm is interested in proposing to address the identified possible need. This information will not be disclosed outside of the Government. We are planning to hold an Industry Day at a later date (to be announced in the Eglin Bulletin Board) and receive briefings from potential prime contractors. Briefings on this subject should include the firm's plan to meet a short-term fly-off program, the weapon configuration and its capability of meeting the following salient characteristics: low cost, precision accuracy, and autonomous midcourse/terminal flight. In addition, the weapon's standoff capability must be outside of area defenses enabling delivery platforms to employ the weapons beyond the range of current and projected surface-to-air systems and strike planned targets. The precision weapon concept must be capable of placing both fixed and relocatable targets at risk and should perform reliably in threat environments of the year 2010. The baseline system must be compatible with a wide range of bomber and fighter aircraft, with initial emphasis on F16, B52, F/A18. Mission planning will use current and projected mission planning architectures and mapping, charting and geodesy support. Autonomous operations during mid-course and terminal flight phases are preferred. A man-in-the-loop near-term solution with potential growth may be considered when supported by appropriate trade-off analyses. Performance in adverse weather without degradation is desired, and multiple launch and leave capability is required. The base line system will employ a unitary blast fragmentation/penetrating warhead with future growth potential to a submunition variant. An average unit procurement price of $500K (in FY95 dollars) has been established as an objective. Additional program information will be provided to potential prime contractors after verification of appropriate clearances and facilities. Storage requirements must meet standards outlined in DCID 1/21, dated 30 Jan 94. Storage of material will be in approved areas, however open store of material will not be authorized without specific written approval. Key management and engineering positions will require Top Secret clearances with personnel security investigations current within five years. These personnel, initially not to exceed five, will be considered for access to historical engineering and design data from previous missile programs. Contractors will be required to sign a Memorandum of Agreement prior to any material release. Please provide facility address, classified mailing address, CAGE Codes, facility clearances, computer accreditation, Facility Security Officer's name and telephone number to ASC/VXYP, 102 West D Ave, Suite 168, Eglin AFB FL 32542-6808. Future information/announcements will be provided via the Eglin Bulletin Board, (904) 882-3669, file name JASSM.
