10 -- TRI-SERVICE FUZE INDUSTRY DAY The Government has identified an immediate need to develop new sources for Air Force, Army and Navy fuze programs as a result of business decisions by a leading Government fuze contractor, Motorola Inc, SSTG/TSO, of Scottsdale, AZ. As a result, a Tri-Service government fuze meeting was held at Eglin AFB, FL on 9-10 Sep 97. This meeting clearly brought forth the fact that each service had critical fuzing needs that will require the support of new sources from industry. To understand these needs and the associated immediate business opportunities, interested fuze and system contractors are invited to attend a Tri-Service Fuze Industry Day on 8 Oct 97. The meeting will be held at the Air Rescue Auditorium, Building 439 at Eglin AFB, FL. Registration will begin at 0730 hours with discussions to begin at 0800 hours. The Industry Day will include briefings and discussions with key Air Force, Army and Navy personnel in the fuze technology, acquisition, and sustainment areas. Higher headquarters and operational representatives will also be in attendance. The primary purpose of this Industry Day is to provide present and potential fuze contractors and weapon system contractors a comprehensive overview of current requirements, plans, schedules, strategies, and available technical data associated with fuze programs that are critical to the US National Defense, as well as foreign military sales to US allies. The interchange on Industry Day is anticipated to include specific program status and current acquisition planning for approximately 10 programs from all three services with near-term contracting opportunities in which industry will be invited to participate. Prospective attendees must provide us with a list of personnel who plan to attend Industry Day, along with visit requests, no later than 1 Oct 97. All visit requests must include visitors' security clearance levels signed by your appropriate security manager. Note: All discussions and/or questions will be limited to the Secret level during Industry Day. All visit requests should be sent to Mr Dave Cornwell, ASC/WMG, Fax number (850) 882-5243. A copy of the minutes, questions, and responses will be posted on the Eglin AFB Contracting Business Opportunities Home Page (http://www.eglin.af.mil/afdtc/dr/ industry/homepg.htm) on the World Wide Web for those contractors unable to attend Industry Day. We encourage any company who believes it has a product or service applicable to the Government fuze industry to attend. This is an information meeting only; no equipment demonstrations from industry are desired. A technical library for selected Air Force programs with immediate contracting opportunities has been established to provide contractors access to technical data packages and test documentation currently available. For more information on access to the technical library, please contact Ms Christie Wicker at (850) 678-7887. Other services' program technical data will be added to the Eglin Library as available. Also, it is anticipated that additional technical libraries will be established on other service programs in the near term, and will be advertised when specifics are available. POC is Ms. Merilee Kennedy, Contract Specialist, (850) 882-8787 ext 3109, or Mr. John P. Sullivan, Contracting Officer, (850) 882-8515 ext 2119.
