Description

17. Pan Number DH 120-01 -- The Army STRICOM Targets Management Office (TMO)seeks information on commercially available scoring devices. Subject devices will be used primarily in support of U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery (ADA) live fire and simulated training exercises in support of the National Training Center (NTC), other Combat Training Centers (CTCs), Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers, and Other Government Agencies (OGAs) within the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). The TMO envisions procurement of similar scoring devices characterized as affordable and expendable. The contractor will also provide all required ground support equipment (GSE), i.e., launchers, fire control boxes, special test equipment, peculiar equipment, as well as operational and engineering services. Potential providers of scoring devices should address software interfaces for scoring operations, hours of operation, facilities, security, worker identification, training, equipment identification, innovation, safety, environment, and contractor(s) past performance. Target descriptions and associated scoring requirements for the following targets are not intended as exact specifications, but are provided as points of departure: (1) MQM-107 Streaker, (2) BQM/MQM-34 Firebee, (3) Ballistic Aerial Target System (BATS), (4) Full Scale Fixed-Wing (e.g., QF-106, QF-4), (5) Pop-Up Ground Targets, and (6) Future Acoustics, Doppler Radar, and Laser Sensing Systems requirements.Descriptions may be accessed at: http://www.stricom.army.mil/stricom/aboutus/organization. Click on "PM ITTS" under the Command Group, then "Targets Management Office (TMO), Redstone Arsenal, Alabama" for each target. Both Aerial and Ground Target links will be identified as a blue hyperlink. If unsuccessful with Web access, contact the Point of Contact for this announcement to request a hardcopy of the same on-line information (paperless access in accordance with the FY 1996 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 104-106)). System maturity as evidenced by demonstrated performance and flight data from off-the-shelf systems is highly preferred. Lengthy development alternatives are not desired. Interested parties should be willing to allow a site visit by a Government team to review related documentation, information, and test data. Respondents should also address schedule and availability of candidate system(s) to be flight demonstrated. A contract vehicle containing firm-fixed price and non-fee bearing cost reimbursement lines is anticipated. While full and open competition is contemplated for any solicitation to provide these scoring devices, competition will be restricted to organizations which have, or are capable of obtaining, a facility clearance which authorizes handling of classified U.S. Defense information. This announcement does not constitute an obligation on the part of the Government to acquire any products or services. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this instrument, or pay for data/information obtained. It is highly desirable that data and information submitted be provided with unlimited rights. However, if proprietary/restricted information is submitted in response, it must be clearly marked as an addendum to non-restricted/non-proprietary data/information. The Government will not be responsible for information/data received without proper markings. Any company which has expertise to provide the required scoring devices is invited to submit a statement of interest within 20 days, along with data to substantiate these qualifications. Data provided to substantiate qualifications should include information on existing products that meet the general characteristics stated in this announcement and reason(s) why a suggested product could be expected to achieve the capabilities requested.
