B -- JOINT STAND-OFF WEAPON SYSTEM (JSOW) FUZE SUPPLIER STUDIES SOL N00019-00-P2-AZ068 POC Contact: Martin Jakim Contracting Officer; Michele Midgett/Ethan Mueller Contract Specialist, Phone (301) 757-7049/7043 E-MAIL: MuellerEJ@navair.navy.mil, MuellerEJ@navair.navy.mil. The Naval Air Systems Command intends to commence studies for an alternate fuze supplier evaluation of the Joint Programmable Fuze for future JSOW production requirements. As a result of the current supplier ceasing production of the JSOW Joint Programmable Fuze, this effort is to allow Raytheon, the JSOW prime contractor, to conduct studies for the identification and qualification of an alternate fuze supplier that will meet the JSOW Fuze Performance Specification and the Interface Control requirements. Raytheon will explore all avenues for acquiring a replacement for the Motorola fuze originally developed from the Joint Programmable Fuze (FMU-152/B). Companies interested in being considered for this requirement should contact Mr. Bob Ripperdan of Raytheon at (520) 663-7286. This synopsis is for informational purposes only.
