Submit 3 hard copies and 1 CD of all volumes to include past performance, technical and price/cost to AFRL/MNK, 101 West Eglin Blvd, Ste 337, Eglin AFB, FL 32542-6810. A confirmation of receipt will be generated when proposals are received. It is the offeror?s responsibility to ensure that confirmation of receipt is obtained by the proposal submittal deadline. Proposals submitted after the cut-off date specified herein shall be treated in accordance with FAR 52.215-1(c)(3), Instructions of Offerors ? Competitive Acquisition. All proposals received will be reviewed and evaluated using the Proposal Evaluation Criteria found within this document. Background: This effort builds on the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) Phase I program. The objective of this phase was to perform a risk reduction effort for a large penetrating munition and to conduct a study to assess the potential for integration in the B-2/B-52 aircraft. The large penetrating weapon is being designed for the defeat of a specialized set of hard and deeply buried targets. The tasks of the first phase were to evaluate a case design, investigate explosive manufacturing concepts, refine and evaluate the control actuator system and define the guidance kit packaging. Trade studies were conducted on the aerodynamic configuration; fuze; guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C); guidance kit packaging; accuracy; and flight demonstration options. Performance predictions against targets were analyzed and a carriage and release concept was developed. Program Objective: The goal of the MOP program is to design and test a large penetrating munition, to demonstrate the weapon?s lethality against multi-story buildings with hardened bunkers and tunnel facilities and to reduce technology risk for future development. Technical Requirements: The MOP design will include the capability to defeat hard and deeply buried targets. It will be carried internally in a USAF B-2A/B-52 bomber and employed at high altitudes. The munition will attack targets at target altitudes of up to 10,000 ft. The munition will not exceed 30,000 lbs and will maximize explosive fill while maintaining structural integrity throughout the penetration event. The munition will be guided and have capability in GPS disrupted environments. The main tasks for this program are laid out below. The program will be structured as a concept refinement task order (TO) with additional task orders for each of the remaining tasks. It is envisioned that one contract will be awarded. TO 1 ? Concept Refinement: TO 1 shall be performed upon receipt of Government authorization to proceed/contract award. The contractor shall perform a cost /performance analysis (of proposed MOP designs ? including platform integration options), a penetrator optimization study, technology investment plan, and propose a Preliminary Design (PD). The contractor is expected, but not required, to leverage the concept definition work from the MOP Phase I program. The contractor shall develop a Draft Master Test Plan Outline (DMTPO), which includes all ground and flight tests. The PD and DMTPO shall be presented at a Preliminary Design Review (PDR) prior to delivery to the Government for final approval. TO 2 ? Weapon Development and Preliminary Testing: The contractor shall develop a detailed hardware design. Simulation, aerostability analysis, component testing and other risk reduction activities shall be performed as required. Subscale models shall be fabricated and wind tunnel tested. The contractor shall perform and support the wind tunnel testing in accordance with the sponsor-approved Master Test Plan. The contractor shall conduct initial performance testing to include arena, blast lethality and penetration tests. The contractor shall conduct initial qualification tests and static tests. The Final Design including system specifications and Formal Master Test Plan shall be presented at a Critical Design Review (CDR). TO 3 ? Weapon Performance Demonstration: The contractor shall fabricate and integrate the unit to be flight-tested. It is expected that five drop tests will be conducted. The contractor shall perform and support the flight testing of the hardware in accordance with the sponsor-approved Master Test Plan. The contractor shall also provide a final report. Test Support: The contractor shall be responsible for all test plans necessary for the maturation and demonstration of the hardware/software products to be tested. Contractor-generated test plans, as approved by the Government, will become contractual requirements. For tests being conducted at Government facilities, the contractor shall be responsible for providing technical support, analysis, data and test planning support to the identified responsible Government test organization. The contractor shall provide test support to include the following: support of test planning meetings; test setup and checkout; test article build up and transportation and checkout; installation of hardware; instrumentation package support; required documentation for testing; identification of risk and suggestions for improvements; record test setup; data collection for evaluation of results; post-test analysis and test result documentation. Data Requirements: It is expected that the following data submittals will be required: Study [DI-GDRQ-80567A, Subsystem Design Analysis Report (Study Report)], Status reports [DI-MGMT-80368/T, Status Report], cost/schedule management [DI-MGMT-81334/T, Contract Work Breakdown Structure (Cost/Schedule Breakdown Structure)]; [DI-FNCL-80912, Performance and Cost Report], program review info [DI-ADMN-81250A, Conference Minutes]; [DI-ADMN-81373/T], hardware design/drawings [DI-SESS-81002B, Developmental Design Drawings and Associated Lists], test plans [DI-NDTI-80566, Test Plan], test data [DI-NDTI-80809B, Test/Inspection Report], system specs [DI-IPSC-81432A, System/Subsystem Design Description], and final tech report [DI-MISC-80711A/T, Scientific and Technical Reports, Final Report]. Meetings and Reviews: The Government anticipates the following program meetings and reviews: Kickoff within four weeks of contract start date at offeror?s facilities; Technical Interchange Meetings at times coinciding with key program milestones or decision points that alternate between the offeror?s facilities and Eglin AFB; and a Final Program review at completion of the program at Eglin AFB, FL. The contractor may propose to conduct or participate in other meetings with subcontractors, Government agencies, or third parties, as deemed necessary. Proprietary Items: The Government is anticipating unlimited data rights to all data generated to include drawings and results. The Government highly recommends the proposed design include no parts, materials, or software that are proprietary. The offeror is responsible for explicitly identifying any proprietary materials, products, software, or processes to be used by the prime contractor or subcontractors in the performance of this program and to address acquisition of data rights or licenses, or expected recoupment of development costs for those proprietary items that will be integral to the hardware and software design and fabricated test items. Offerors should apply the restrictive notice prescribed in the provision at FAR 52.215-1(e), Instructions To Offerors - Competitive Acquisition, to trade secrets, or privileged commercial and financial information contained in their proposals. Additional Information: (1) Anticipated Period of Performance: TO 1 is expected to last 6 months with results deliverable in the middle of month 6. TO 2 is expected to last 10 months and TO 3 is expected to last 15 months. Total Period of Performance for the Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract will not exceed 5 years. (2) Type of Contract: The Government anticipates awarding one Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract to the offeror who the Air Force believes has submitted the most advantageous proposal, based upon evaluation using the Evaluation Criteria found within this document. (3) Government Estimate/Funding: The Government anticipates receiving approximately $11.5M of FY04-07 funds for this program. The Government expects TO 1 costs would not exceed $500K, TO 2 costs would not exceed $3M, and TO 3 would not exceed $8M. It is anticipated that an IDIQ contract will be awarded with a maximum ceiling of $20M since it is impossible to accurately estimate all requirements during the five year period of performance. This funding profile is an estimate only and is not a promise of funding, as all funding is subject to changes/availability and Government discretion. It is desired that contract expenditures be managed and billed so as to maximize FY05 expenditure of FY04 and FY05 funding.
