A -- REVIEW OF TOPAZ INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM SOL DNA001-95-C-0056 POC Tanya Stasiuk, Negotiator, (703) 325-5029, Scott G. Morton, Contracting Officer, (703) 325-1200. The Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) intends to award a sole source contract to the National Research Council which can provide unbiased technical review, advice, and guidance on the TOPAZ International Program (TIP), with a goal to develop new commercial products from former military space power technology of the former Soviet Union. DNA will assume full programmatic responsibility for the TIP in FY96 as the TIP is being transitioned from the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) to DNA in FY95. The National Research Council, by virtue of the inherent differences between a publicly funded national body of scholars and a private enterprise operated for corporate benefit, is able to render independent advice of unparalleled objectivity. All responsible sources must provide written documentation demonstrating identical or equal capability in the production of the proposed report to Tanya Stasiuk, AM2, Defense Nuclear Agency, 6801 Telegraph Road, Alexandria, VA 22310-3398. See Note 22. Information on DNA solicitations, already released, can be obtained by calling the DNA Hotline at (703) 325-1173. Reference Synopsis No. 95-27 (0048)
