B -- COST AND OPERATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS SOL F08626-96-R-0166 DUE 030196 POC Mary Reynolds, ASC/YVK, Contract Specialist, (904) 882-4785, ext 3181; Jackie Leitzel, Contracting Officer, (904) 882-4785, ext 3182. This requirement will be a sole source acquisition to Calspan Advanced Technology Center. The purpose of this synopsis is to notify industry of the impending action. The period of performance will be from 1 May 96 to 30 Apr 97 with four option years. The Government intends to award a contract solely to Calspan Advanced Technology Center to continue the efforts in the Cost and Operational Effectiveness Analysis (COEA) for the Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) to include validating the need for JASSM, identifying appropriate technologies that fit the JASSM requirements within the imposed constraints, conducting analysis to quantify ORD requirements, and providing a methodology framework to facilitate a smooth transition to the JASSM Milestone II COEA. Calspan has worked with the potential prime offerors for the JASSM program since August l995 developing simulations, running simulations including ESAMS, SUPPRESSOR and other models and performing mission level analysis and data bases for the offerors to use in their proposals for JASSM. Additionally, Calspan will continue their efforts for Mission Effectivenss the Cost to Kill Target Sets that the Government will use as a prime factor under the technical performance area for the JASSM source selection which will commence on 1 April l996 and will result in the award of a JASSM contract by the end of Jul 1996. Calspan will continue to use and develop these models and analyses, including one-on-one, one-on-many, many-on-many, mission planning, and test support, in the next phase of the COEA, that will occur during the Pre-EMD phase of the JASSM effort. This effort requires the contractor personnel to have TOP SECRET, SCI clearance, NOFORN, and to also have STINFO certification. Direct all request for solicitations and routine communications concerning this acquisition to Jackie Leitzel, (904) 882-4785, ext 3182, or Mary Reynolds (904) 882-4785, ext 3l81.
