- Description
- The purpose of this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is to solicit proposals for the Selectable Output Weapons (SOW) Future Naval Capability (FNC) program. This is a continuation of the requirement posted under Special Notice N6893609R0015 Request for Information. The SOW FNC is a 5 year program, the intent of which is to demonstrate to a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of TRL6 a warhead whose explosive output or kill mechanism can be selected from the cockpit of the launch aircraft. The technology must be suitable for a bomb having the same aerodynamic shape and mass properties of the existing BLU-111. It is envisioned that this will be a three phase program. Phase I will focus on analyses and testing to select or verify technologies and configurations that will meet a variety of potentially competing operational requirements. Phase II will focus efforts on maturing technologies of the various subsystems required to achieve selectable output and mitigate risk associated with transitioning the technology into the design having the same aerodynamic shape, mass properti3es and interfaces as the existing BLU-111. Phase III is to integrate sub-systems to demonstrate a selectable output 500 lb. class bomb with multiple outputs that can be selected by the pilot from the cockpit. This notice constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) as contemplated in FAR 6.102(d)(2). A formal Request for Proposal (RFP)/Solicitation will not be issued. The Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division (NAWCWD) will not issue paper copies of this BAA. NAWCWD reserves the right to select for award, all, some, or none of the Proposals in response to this BAA. NAWCCWD reserves the right to fund all, some, or none of the Proposals received under this BAA. NAWCWD provides no funding for direct reimbursement of proposal development costs. Technical and Cost Proposal (or any other material) submitted in response to this BAA will not be returned. It is the policy of NAWCWD to treat all Proposals as competition sensitive Bid and Proposal Information and to disclose their contents only for the purpose of evaluation. Awards will be to United States (U.S.) companies only and will be in the form of contracts. Therefore, Proposals submitted as a result of this announcement will fall under the regulations of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). SEE ENCLOSED ATTACHMENT ENTITLED SELECTABLE OUTPUT WEAPON FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION AND FORMATTING THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED WHEN PREPARING PROPOSALS FOR THIS CONTRACTING EFFORT.
