R -- ICBM POC For copy, Charlotte Dayton/Lmke/(801)777-0905, For additional information contact Charlotte Dayton/Lmke/(801)777-0905 The ICBM System Program Office (SPO) is anticipating an effort to convert from the Associate Contractor concept of weapons system life cycle management for the Minuteman and Peacekeeper weapons systems, with the government as the integrator; to a single prime contractor responsible for weapons systems integration, assessment and sustainment, excluding depot level maintenance and repair. It is the government's intent to waive the Organizational Conflicts of Interest clause in the current TRW-ICBM Systems Engineering/Technical Assistance contract, since application of that clause is, in this instance, viewed as prejudicial to the government's best interest. In the event TRW bids on the effort, an approved mitigation plan outlining how TRW will comply with FAR 9.505, as well as a government surveillance plan, will be on record prior to their proposal preparations. The proposed plan to mitigate use of proprietary data or source selection information levies restrictions on participation of TRW's proposal team as well as movement and communications between the TRW SE/TA personnel and TRW's proposal team. The plan also addresses the use of: 1) training of TRW personnel; 2) written conflict of interest agreements with employees and; 3) provisions for disciplinary actions. The government team assigned to work this acquisition will be government employees only. SE/TA participation will not be used. The government team has been, and will continue to be, physically separated from the rest of the SPO, including all TRW SE/TA personnel. The scope of ICBM management work associated with this effort includes: 1) systems engineering/integration; 2) sustaining engineering; 3) systems test activities; 4) future weapon system modifications, and (5) Total System Performance Responsibility. The SPO is seeking contractors interested in bidding on this effort. To be considered a viable candidate, respondents shall: 1) demonstrate in-depth knowledge of, and experience with, ICBM systems and sub-systems; 2) have prior experience in sustaining ICBMs through logistics and engineering activities; and 3) have recent experience in integration of weapon systems. The top level program documentation bibliography and current contract list will be available 15 Mar 96. Known potential candidates include: Boeing Defense & Space Group, Lockheed Martin Astronautics, Loral Command & Control Systems, Rockwell International Corp, TRW Strategic Systems Division.
