The Program Manager -- Mines, Countermine and Demolitions (PM-MCD) intends to acquire under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, documentation of the ESMC PDRR system and component design. This effort is a continuation of efforts under contract DAAB12-95-C-0020 and includes study and analysis in the following areas: performance of deployment simulations, trades studies, process updates, and system engineering analysis addressing cost, risk, survivability and testing of the ESMC. The ESMC consists of a reusable trailer and an expendable reload. The reload is a self-contained ready to fire round, containing a rocket motor, and an Explosive Neutralization System (ENS). The rocket deploys the ENS across the minefield. The ENS is a net with explosive shape charge munitions at each node, and is designed to neutralize all surface and buried mines regardless of fuzing from a safe standoff distance. This requirement is for a five-month contract effort. The Government intends to award a sole source contract to BAE Systems located in Austin, TX. See Numbered Note 22. Posted 08/08/00 (W-SN483665).
