The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Special Operations Acquisition and Logistics Center, Directorate of Procurement intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Mist Mobility Integrated Systems Technology (MMIST), Inc of Nepean, ON, Canada in accordance with DFARS, Subpart 206.302-1(b) for acquisition of test articles and associated support services. MMIST is a designated foreign source under the DoD Foreign Comparative Testing Program. The justification is based on market research, e.g., ongoing market surveys for more than a year, sources sought and telephonic exchanges of information. MMIST is the only known foreign company capable of satisfying our requirement. Specifically, USSOCOM desires to procure two each LDS test articles to address the Psychological Operations (PSYOP) forces requirement to safely and accurately deliver PSYOP products (leaflets) to a variety of targets and threat areas with minimal risk to aircrews/aircraft. The desired solution must be useable across the spectrum of conflict and during peacetime operations. It must be capable of making mathematical calculations to determine the correct release point (LAT/LONG at specific altitude and Grid Coordinates) for leaflets to hit the target on the ground (with proper leaflet density). It must be able to transport leaflets via autonomous flight to a designated release point; automatically release those leaflets; monitor wind conditions while in flight and modify calculations, if needed, to solve for proper release point within the indicated tolerances; and proceed to predetermined destination for recovery. All responsible foreign sources may submit a proposal in accordance with Note 22, which shall be considered by the agency. Any questions regarding the above may be directed to Mr. Christopher D. Stiller (813) 281-0560 ext. 304. Posted 04/14/00 (W-SN445230). (0105)
