It is intended as a method of informing potential contractors of the existence of a Bid Qualification Plan for Paveway II Laser Guided Bombs. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the government. The United States Navy (USN) is seeking potential contractors to "qualify to bid" as a source supplier for Paveway II Laser Guided Bombs for an anticipated GBU-16 and GBU-12 Navy procurement. The Bid Qualification Plan outlines those efforts necessary to "qualify potential producers to bid" as a source supplier of GBU-16, GBU-12 and GBU-10 Laser Guided Bombs. Upon contract award, the selected best value contractor shall be required to complete additional significant efforts to demonstrate complete interchangeability and interoperability with existing U.S. Government inventories not limited to: demonstration, analysis, environmental testing andadditional drop testing. Guided Bomb Units (GBUs) are purchased as kits consisting of one each Computer Control Group (CCG) and one each Airfoil Group (AFG) prepackaged in containers of a specified design. Kits shall be form, fit and function compatible to current existing U.S. Government inventories. The Bid Qualification Plan is designed to demonstrate each offeror's competency to bid on Paveway II procurements. If an offeror desires technical information they may contact OO-ALC/WMGB, 6034 Dogwood Avenue, Bldg. 1257, Hill AFB, UT 84056-5816, Attn: Kim Tingey (801) 775-5997, or by E-Mail at kim.tingey@hill.af.mil.

Deliveries are required to begin no later than March 2002. The government estimates that it will cost potential offerors approximately $6 million to "qualify to bid" on this anticipated Navy procurement. The government further estimates that it will take potential offerors a minimum of five months to "qualify to bid". It is anticipated that a Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued in September 2000 with a closing date in November 2000.
