B -- MINIATURE MUNITIONS CAPABILITY (MMC) SOL Reference-Number-F08626-99-C-0126-0129 POC Elaine Fryback, Contracting Officer, Phone (850)882-9391, Fax (850)882-3130, Email fryback@eglin.af.mil -- Elaine Fryback, Contracting Officer, Phone (850)882-9391, Fax (850)882-3130, Email fryback@eglin.af.mil WEB: Visit this URL for the latest information about this, http://www.eps.gov/cgi-bin/WebObjects/EPS?ACode=P&;ProjID=Reference-Num ber-F08626-99-C-0126-0129&LocID=1182. E-MAIL: Elaine Fryback, fryback@eglin.af.mil. The government intends to modify contracts F08626-99-C-0126, F08626-99-C-0127, F08626-99-C-0128, and F08626-99-C-0129, contingent upon receiving funding. The Miniaturized Munitions Capability (MMC) Integrated Product Team, Air Armament Center (AAC), Eglin AFB, Florida, plans to modify the referenced existing MMC Concept Study Contracts to add an automatic target recognition (ATR) sensor flight demonstration effort to support concepts submitted under these contracts. The objectives of the flight demonstration effort are to characterize the capability of the MMC concepts ATR sensors to detect, classify and accurately determine the specific target type against time critical targets. The contractual addition of the ATR sensor flight demonstration supports the MMC weapon concept submitted by the original offerors, as part of their basic contract. This effort will extend the MMC contract period of performance an additional 14 months. As part of this effort the contractor will be required to furnish an aircraft, ATR sensor and the human resources to operate, collect, reduce and analyze the data gathered during the flight demonstration. A final report will also be required. The MMC Program is currently underway with McDonnell Douglas Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boeing, Raytheon Systems Company, Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control and Northrop Grumman Corporation to deliver their MMC concept with supporting data. This data will allow each concept to be modeled at the engagement, mission, and campaign level of the MMC Analysis of Alternatives and Concept Exploration phase. The contract extension is a Firm Fixed Price. An Ombudsman has been appointed to address concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program director or contracting officer, but communicates contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals or in the source selection process. Matters of a routine or administrative nature concerning this acquisition should not be addressed to the Ombudsman but rather to the Contracting Officer or Program Manager identified below. For any other concerns, interested parties may call the AAC Ombudsman, Dr. Mario J. Caluda at (850) 882-5558. Direct all routine communication concerning this acquisition to Ms. Elaine Fryback, Contracting Officer, (850) 882-9391 Ext 5053, for contracting matters, and Ms. Lynda Rutledge, Program Manager, (850) 882-6982, Ext 6029 for technical matters.
