- Description
- The Naval Air Systems Command intends to host an Industry Day to establish communications with potential sources with the skills, experience, qualifications and knowledge required to integrate and produce a non-developmental modification to existing Direct Attack weapons (i.e., LGB/ JDAM) to provide tactical flexibility and the ability to hit moving targets for use on the USN F/A-18 A+/C/D/E/F and AV-8B aircraft. The Department of the Navy (DoN) wants to capitalize on existing inventories of GBU-12 and GBU-38 weapons. This moving target weapon is envisioned to be a retrofit and/or add-on capability that will be integrated into the current inventories of GBU-12 or GBU-38 systems, with a potential initial procurement in FY 2008. The Government is seeking participation from interested companies, and they are invited to attend an Industry Day to be held at 46641 Corporate Drive, Lexington Park, Maryland, 20653 on 03 August 2006. Attendees should plan to arrive between 0730 and 0800 (EST). Industry Day will begin at 0800 and briefings will continue through 1200. This information exchange will provide an open forum for discussion of ideas before a formal Request for Information (RFI) is issued. Security clearances are not required and all discussions will be unclassified. Industry Day will entail a presentation by the Government followed by questions and answers. Optional one-on-one side meetings with interested companies will follow the briefing. Pre-registration is required. All Industry Day pertinent information will be made available via the NAVAIR Electronic Solicitation Website http://www.navair.navy.mil/doing_business/open_solicitations. All amendments will be posted at the same Internet website. Interested parties should regularly access the website to ensure that they have all amendments.

Companies shall provide the Name of the Company, Point of Contact (POC), Title, E-Mail address, Phone Number, Birth Country and State (if in the US), Citizenship and Country of Residence.
