Description

The SFW CBU-105B/B (NSN 1325-01-458-4828) is a 1,000-pound class, unpowered, unguided, gravity-drop wide area munitions. The SFW consists of a SUU-66/B tactical munitions dispenser, which houses 10 BLU-108/B submunitions. Each submunition contains four projectiles, an orientation and stabilization system, a radar altimeter, and a rocket motor. Each projectile contains an explosively formed penetrator warhead and a two-color infrared sensor. The SFW is stored and transported as an all up-round in the CNU-411A/E container. This solicitation for the sixth Full Rate Production (FRP) annual buy will consist of the procurement of 300 full-up CBUs and 900 each BLU-108/B in support of the JSOW program, to include warranty and data. This effort is anticipated to consist of separate awards consisting of advance long lead material and the award of the remaining efforts associated with the production of the SFW weapon and the BLU-108s in support of the JSOW program. The awards for the long lead effort will be during FY 01 1st Qtr with final award to Textron FY01 2nd Qtr. This effort requires contractor personnel be cleared for access to SECRET NOFORN. Potential contractors have to be certified and registered for STINFO export control by the Defense Logistic Service Center (DLSC), Battle Creek MI 49016-3412, telephone number 800-352-3572, to receive any resultant Request for Proposal (RFP). This certification is above and beyond the requirements for a security clearance and may be obtained by submitting a DD Form 2345 to DLSC. It is anticipated that only one source, Textron Systems Corp, Wilmington MA, developer of the SFW, can satisfy the government_s minimum needs for this unique weapon system.
