E-MAIL: Michael.Cramer@F-15.wpafb.af.mil, Michael.Cramer@F-15.wpafb.af.mil. 17. The United States Air Force is contemplating a sole source effort with the Boeing Company to conduct a detailed design, code, and test effort to field an upgraded software suite of Operational Flight Programs (OFPs) on the F-15E Weapon System platform. This will include an update to all associated Support Equipment (SE), test benches, technical data and trainers. As part of this effort, the contractor must also complete the development of the Advance Display Core Processor (ADCP) for the current F-15E VHSIC Central Computer (VCC) and Multipurpose Display Processor (MPDP). This is required because the current systems do not have the required computer resources to field the new OFP. It should be noted that the government does not have the data available to complete this acquisition. Under this effort the following criterion must be met: a) design and develop the software for subsystems per the final change list resulting from Phase I requirements definition b) integrate the OFPs designed and developed by various government agencies and contractors into a cohesive suite of OFPs for the F-15E aircraft, c) conduct risk reduction testing, simulation, development test and evaluation, and support operational test and evaluation, d) provide software updates to all associated support equipment, test benches and trainers, e) provide updates to Technical Orders/Manuals, f) support the fielding of the final OFP tape updates, g) develop, integrate and test the Advance Display Core Processor. Small businesses are hereby notified of potential subcontracting opportunities for this acquisition. Point of contact is: Director of Procurement, McDonnell Douglas Corporation (314) 232-9154.
