B -- RADAR RELATED PROPAGATION EXPERIMENTS DURING ATMOSPHERIC NUCLEAR TESTS UNDER DSWA GRAYBEARD PROGRAM POC Sheila K. Roche, Negotiator, (703) 325-7137, Billy G. Burks, Contracting Officer, (703) 325-5021 The Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) plans to issue a sole source purchase order to Leadabrand Associates to integrate, evaluate and prioritize data from radar related radio propagation experiments carried out during the South Pacific French atmospheric nuclear tests utilizing original nuclear weapon effects test researchers (i.e. Graybeards) and leading subject area experts. Leadabrand will also relate this data to propagation data collected during the U.S. high-altitude nuclear test series. DSWA believes that Leadabrand Associates is the only responsible source. In order to obtain the information necessary, the Graybeard program requires individuals/companies that participated personally in nuclear tests. Leadabrand employs these individuals and has the experience necessary to cost effectively perform this effort in the time required. See Note 22. Information on DSWA solicitations, already released, can be obtained by calling the DSWA Hotline at (703) 325-1173. Acquisition Management has added "Procurement Opportunities" to the DSWA Home Page available on the World Wide Web. Information will include this synopsis and more.
