E-MAIL: Judie Jacobson, jacobso@eglin.af.mil. A Request for Proposal, F08630-99-R-0005, for the System Effectiveness Assessment Program (SEAP), is contemplated for release within 30 days. A Sources Sought Synopsis was published in the CBD on 13 Apr 1999. Participation by foreign sources is prohibited. The RFP will request contractors submit proposal packages who have qualifications and experiences in one or more of the following four technology area disciplines: 1) Use of lethality/vulnerability methodologies to analyze chemical and biological agent release, internal/external transport and dispersion, and agent neutralization due to conventional blast/fragmentation, high temperature, and agent defeat concepts; *2) Use of DoD approved lethality and vulnerability methodologies to characterize weapon system performance against foreign ground-fixed targets; 3) *Use of theater level computer models to conduct force-on-force simulations of air-delivered attacks on foreign targets; 4) *Use of DoD approved lethality and vulnerability methodologies to characterize weapon system performance against foreign ground-mobile, air, and space targets. Discipline group number two, three and four marked with an *asterisk have been determined to be set-aside for Small Business, SIC Code 8731, (1000 people) under FAR 52.219-1. The estimated performance period for this effort is 5 years commencing Oct 99. We anticipate multiple contract awards for SEAP with one or more of the above key disciplines awarded per contract. There will be no duplication of award of the four key disciplines between contractors. Any contracts awarded will include the Organizational Conflict of Interest AFMC Clause 5352.209-9002. Our program office does not expect this to impact WEEP (Weapon Effectiveness Evaluation Program) currently released under Solicitation F08630-99-R-0004, but it may, and it may affect other programs. An Ombudsman has been appointed to hear serious concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. Routine or administrative questions should be directed to the Contracting Officer or Program Manager. A list of the respondees to the CBD Sources Sought Synopsis for SEAP is available from the following website: www.eps.gov.
