E-MAIL: jborden@hoffman-issaa2.army.mil, jborden@hoffman-issaa2.army.mil. The US Army CECOM Night Vision Electronic Sensors Directorate intends to acquire under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, documentation of ESMB DEM/VAL system and component design to include further rocket motor development and testing. The ESMB consists of a reusable trailer and an expendable reload. The reload is a self-contained ready to fire round, containing a rocket motor, and an Explosive Neutralization System (ENS). The rocket deploys the ENS across the minefield. The ENS is a net with explosive shape charge munitions at each node, and is designed to neutralize all surface and buried mines regardless of fuzing from a safe standoff distance. This requirement is for a six-month contract effort. The Government intends to award a sole source contract modification to Tracor Aerospace, located in Austin, TX. See Numbered Note 22. (0174)
