Rome Laboratory/PK, 26 Electronic Parkway, Rome NY 13441-4514

A -- ADVANCE FUSION TECHNOLOGY SOL F30602-96-R-0021 POC Joseph Louis Facciolo, Contract Specialist, 315-330-9981, Joseph Antonik, Laboratory Program Manager, 315-330-7672. Program duration - 24 months. Design, develop, implement, and test advanced multi-sensor identification fusion technology for air superiority by employing a pro-active information assimilation concept within an intelligent fusion process. Present fusion concepts employ a data-driven approach whereby information must accumulate in order for decision thresholds to be met. This effort will employ a ''push-pull'' architecture where, as data is collected and processed, further amplifying data can be retrieved from resources possessing that information. This concept will enhance the timeliness and accuracy of assessments provided by automated fusion systems. The technology will be evaluated within Rome Laboratory's sensor fusion facility which networks radar, ESM, bistatic and intelligence sensors together and provides this data to a common workstation. To help cut down on the number of telephone calls the Contract Specialist receives prior to solicitation release: the RFP will be released no sooner than 04 Jan 96. Secret clearances will be required for performance. An Ombudsman has been appointed to hear significant concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. Routine questions, such as clarifications of the Statement of Work or the terms and conditions, are not considered to be ''significant concerns'' and should be communicated directly to the Contract Specialist, Joseph Louis Facciolo, 315-330-4981. The purpose of the Ombudsman is not to diminish the authority of the contracting officer or program manager, but to communicate contractor concerns, issues, disagreements and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel. The Ombudsman for this acquisition is Vincent Palmiero, Chief, Policy and Management Division, at 315-330-7746. When requested, the Ombudsman will 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. No telephone requests for the solicitation will be honored. All requests must be addressed to the attention of the Contract Specialist, Joseph Loui Facciolo, reference the code I-6-4068-A, and contain the respondent's FAX number and Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code. All responsible sources may submit a proposal in response to the RFP which shall be considered. The size standard for small business is 500 employees. See numbered Note 01. (0342)
