ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT PROGRAM 2 ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT PROGRAM 2. The Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) is planning to acquire engineering services for the Advanced Technology Support Program 2 (ATSP2), which is a follow-on to the Advanced Technology Support Program (ATSP). The purpose of this announcement is to obtain industry comments on the technical specifications and performance risk and to establish a potential source list. Two industry meetings will be held at McClellan AFB CA. The first industry meeting will be on or about 20 Apr 98. The second industry meeting is planned for on or about 19 May 98. The ATSP2 is a uniform technical and management approach that leverages advanced technologies to extend the life of a weapon systems. Electronics support problems, such as, reliability, maintainability and diminishing manufacturing sources are solved through the development of form-fit- function replacements and the insertions and applications of advanced electronics technologies. The requirement covers both hardware and software and includes studies, analysis, design, code, simulation, prototyping, integration, testing, and limited production. The requirement also includes the development of viable methods of procedures for using available tools and resources, strategies for resolution of replacement alternatives, and for technical interchange in support of task accomplishment. An internet web page will be available for downloading files pertinent to the ATSP2 source selection. It will be available from the DMEA home page at www.dmea.osd.mil. An account and password will be required to access the ATSP2 Source Selection information. At this time, it is anticipated that the web page will only be used for downloading ATSP2 source selection documents and information to interested offerors. Offerors wishing to communicate electronically can send email to "atsp2pco@dmea.osd.mil". The offeror assumes all risks involved with the failure of delivery and the government makes no claims that email is secure for the transmission of proprietary information. Once received the government will handle proprietary information in accordance with normal practices. Interested offerors should submit a request on letterhead to DMEA/MEOP Attn: Kellie Valdez 4234 54th Street, Bldg. 620 McClellan AFB, CA 95652-1521 (916)643-2245 FAX (916)643-2245 not later than 10 calendar days after release of this notice. Interested offerors shall also send a brief (5 page limit) statement of their interest and pertinent capabilities. Briefings by interested offerors of their capabilities will not be accepted. Submission may alternatively be emailed to "atsp2pco@dmea.osd.mil" and must attach the request on letterhead. The DMEA does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this request nor will DMEA pay for the information requested. Interested offerors providing the above information will be included on the source list. A source selection method will be used to award an indefinite quantity contract covering a multi-year period. Contract award will be on the basis of best technical proposal, price and other factors considered. Price will be a secondary consideration.
