The Air Force Development Test Center, 46th Test Wing, is contemplating the award of a sole source, ten month, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) procurement under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) Contract F09603-94-G-0013, Warner Robins AFB, Georgia to Texas Instruments (TI), 2501 South Highway 21, Mail Station 3405, Lewisville, Texas 75067, to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed Counter-Countermeasure (CCM) techniques to reduce the susceptibilities of current operational Paveway III Laser Guided Bombs (LGBs) to laser decoy countermeasures for the Guided Weapons Evaluation Flight (46 TW/TSWG) at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. The approach to accomplishing this task is to investigate CCM techniques recommended or implemented by the US Air Force and the US Army under previous programs, and then to design, develop, and test modifications to the WGU-39 weapon guidance units which will implement the CCM techniques selected. This effort is for the investigation of CCM algorithms and hardware modifications, the design and development of specified hardware modifications, the fabrication of not less than two nor more than four WGU-39 Paveway III weapon guidance units, and support of evaluations of the modified WGU-39s. This acquisition will be pursued on a sole source basis because TI is the sole developer and manufacturer of the WGU-39 weapon guidance units. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the Air Force. Technical questions may be addressed to Mr. Jeff Estep, 46 TW/TSWGI, (904) 882-9939.
