A draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) will be issued approximately 15 Jan 1997. Interested parties can access the DRFP through the RFPSO home page: http://farsite.hill.af.mil/rfpso/rfpsohom.html. If an interested contractor does not have access to the internet please request a copy from Charlotte Dayton, OO/ALC/LM3, 6014 Dogwood Avenue/Bldg 1258, Rm 17, Hill AFB UT 84056-5816. FAX number (801)775- 2194. The government has waived the Organizational Conflicts of Interest clause in the current TRW-ICBM contract. A mitigation plan outlining how TRW will comply with FAR 9.505, as well as a government surveillance plan is being negotiated. 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. Additionally, the plan 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; 2) sustaining engineering; 3) future weapon system modifications, and contracted repairs, and 4) GRP/PRP efforts. 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 logistic and engineering activities; and 3) have recent experience with the integration of weapon systems.
