This earlier announcement requested industry to express interest in providing targets to meet these needs. Based on contacts to date, a potential bidders list was prepared and a copy of the draft Performance Specification for the SSAT was mailed on 24 Oct 96 to each of these potential offerors for comment. Subject to industry interest and capabilities, a draft performance-based RFP will be electronically released (by Internet) in mid 1997 for an IOC of June 1999. A pre-solicitation conference will be held at a time to be announced upon release of the draft RFP. Approximately 130 SSAT systems (or 500 presentations per year) are anticipated over the basic and each of the four option years.
