U.S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command, ATTN: CSSD-CM-CN, PO Box 1500, Huntsville, AL 35807-3801/106 Wynn Drive, Huntsville, AL 35805-1990

A -- FLIGHT TEST ANALYSIS FOR ARROW POC Deborah Teague, Contract Specialist, CSSD-CM-CN/Linda B. Gray, Contracting Officer, CSSD-CM-CN, (205)955-1187 Reference DASG60-96-0104. The U.S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command intends to negotiate with Delta Research, Incorporated, 315 Wynn Drive, Suite 1, Huntsville, Alabama 35805, for continued effort under an existing contract which supports the PEO Air and Missile Defense Arrow Project Office. This effort requires the contractor to provide preflight predictions of Arrow target missile performance, Arrow interceptor missile performance, and interceptor RF seeker performance for flight tests; recommend any changes to guidance, homing, fusing, or test range facilities and operations acquiring the data appropriate for each test; provide post-flight analyses of Arrow target and interceptor missile against expected performance; and recommend changes to correct or improve design deficiencies in time to maintain the flight schedule. Delta Research has provided this particular support since the inception of the Arrow Program. This acquisition will provide a short-term extension of the existing contract (DASG60-91-C-0029) with Delta Research in order to allow the orderly completion of on-going test support activities and to provide transition support as necessary for any new source(s) for these services which may emerge from the multiple-award Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance Contract (SETAC) competition currently being conducted under RFP DASG60-96-R-0005. This short-term extension to contract DASG60-91-C-0029 with Delta Research will provide approximately 9,750 additional person/hours of support over a period of nine (9) additional months. Due to its unique background and experience with the Arrow Program, Delta Research is the only known source that can provide these required services within the timeframe of this short-term extension.
