E-MAIL: ACC CONS Langley AFB, frym@acccons.langley.af.mil. The ACC Contracting Squadron intends to award a purchase order, under other than full and open competition, to Spectrum Sciences & Software, Inc. for the procurement of Hazard software and associated licenses and manuals for use by various DoD agencies. Hazard is a user-friendly, graphical user interface software used for collection, storage, manipulation, and display of data and weapon safety descriptors for air-to-surface munitions delivery at weapons ranges. Weapon safety descriptors are two-dimensional geometric shapes (footprints) defining the minimum land requirements needed for the safe employment of given munitions, from specific aircraft, under specific release conditions, over a variety of soil densities and target types. The Air Force intends to purchase Hazard software to meet the following requirements, in addition to others: the software must be fully capable of using existing or modified Hazard footprint libraries; it must be compatible with current DoD desktop computer software/hardware (i.e. Windows 95 environment on IBM-compatible 486 personal computers, or better); existing and new footprints and ArcView GIS-generated range maps must be easily integrated into the Hazard footprint libraries and readily manipulated by the software; the software must accurately portray all footprints in all display modes; combining, moving, or otherwise manipulating footprints must not result in incorrect portrayals of basic footprints or degradation of required containment and confidence levels; the software must be Year 2000 compliant; it must allow range managers to easily add or delete footprints to/from the Hazard footprint library, individually and in groups; it must be able to import footprints, individually and in groups; and the library contents must be accessible by the software but not an inherent, inseparable part of the software. The Air Force intends to procure one DoD-wide site license for use of Hazard software by all DoD users, to include initial delivery of 50 copies of the software and manuals and authority for unlimited distribution and use by all DoD users, including contractors while they are providing direct support to DoD contracts. Delivery of all items must be made to Langley AFB VA on or about 1 Oct 97. The Air Force intends to conduct this procurement in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, and FAR Subpart 13.6, Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. This proposed procurement is for supplies for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as set forth by FAR Subpart 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Interested parties may respond in writing to the ACC Contracting Squadron no later than 27 Aug 97. All responses will be evaluated by the Contracting Officer in accordance with Air Force FAR Supplement Subpart 5315.402. All requests for solicitation must be made in writing. Requests and responses by facsimile machine will be accepted at 757-764-9773. All responsible sources may submit a quotation which shall be considered by the agency. (0224)
