A -- C-TARGET PENETRATING WEAPONS SOL N68936-00-R-0042 DUE 031100 POC L Dell Hledik, Contracting Officer, (760)939-3772 The Naval Air Warfare Center-Weapons Division intends to enter into negotiations for a Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract, on an Other Than Full and Open Competition basis, to Endevco Corp., 30700 Rancho Viejo Road, San Juan Capistrano, CA 93675. Endevco Corp. is the only source that has developed an accelerometer that has demonstrated the capability to function acceptably in the hardened target penetrating weapon "smart" fuze systems that are currently under development in the U.S. Endevco will use their proprietary design and fabrication methodology, equipment and processes in advancing accelerometer technology to perform with next generation Hyper-Velocity Weapon(s) (3500-4,000 feet per second impact velocities). The contract will be in Phases. The basic (Phase I) research period will be directed at the determination of design requirements for an advanced accelerometer and will require the synthesis and analysis of empirical data collected over the past several years by the USAF, USN and National Laboratories. Phase II (optional) will be directed at conceptual design studies based on the results of Phase I and fabrication and testing of prototype accelerometers of one or more configurations. Phase III (optional) will further evolve the most promising configuration identified during Phase II with additional prototype fabrication and suitability testing. The estimated period of performance is 3 years. All responsible sources may submit an offer, which will be considered. Responses to this intent to solicit, other than from the source listed, will be required to submit information to verify their prior experience in accelerometer technology of penetrator weapon "smart fuze" systems. These responses shall be submitted in writing to Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Code 210000D, Attn: L. Dell Hledik, China Lake, CA 93555-6100. Questions may be addressed to Dell Hledik, (760)939-3772. Requests may be submitted by fax to (760)939-9651 or by e-mail to hledikld@navair.navy.mil. Note 22 applies Posted 02/07/00 (W-SN422796).
