Description

This is a resubmission for the sole purpose of posting into the CBD. Original posting to eps.gov on 20 Sep 2001 never transferred to CBDnet. The Precision Strike Systems Program Office, Air Armament Center, Eglin AFB Florida, plans to award a sole source Phase II contract to Raytheon Missile Systems to integrate the GBU-28B/B weapon system into the B-2A aircraft. Raytheon is currently on contract to produce a quantity of GBU-28B/B weapons under Contract F42630-98-C-0149. This sole source contract is a follow-on to a Phase I effort under Contract F42630-01-C-0004, performed by Raytheon. Required improvements include an inertial measurement unit (IMU) with sufficient accuracy to guide the weapon close enough to the desired target ?basket? that the Global Positioning System (GPS)/IMU/Kalman Filter and Laser designation modes may be used to achieve desired weapon system accuracy. Weapon development is necessary to decrease weapon circular error probability equivalent to the GBU-31 weapon system accuracy, provide full interface for the B-2A aircraft and incorporate an IMU-only mode. The GBU-28B/B upgrade provides a power-only mode for the F-15E aircraft, GPS/IMU/Kalman Filter guidance/navigation capability, and laser designation, while retaining the GBU-28A/B performance. The Phase II contract effort provides the full interface capability to the B-2A aircraft, GPS/IMU/Kalman Filter mode, an IMU/Kalman Filter mode for GPS jamming capability, battery qualification testing, weapon simulation upgrade, Paveway field test set (TTU-373) software update, Common Munitions BIT/Reprogramming Equipment programmable circuit cards, and training. The sole source cost plus fixed price award is anticipated to be valued at approximately $3,600,000.00. Questions regarding this acquisition should be directed to Ms. Karen Schutt, Contract Specialist at (850) 882-9514 ext. 2243. See Numbered Notes 22 and 26.*****=20
