R -- ENGINEERING SERVIES (AGM-129A) SOL F34601-94-88888-01 POC For copy, OC-ALC/PKXDA TINKER AFB OK 73145-3015, For additional information contact Bill Leslie/Ladcb/(405)739-2572 Note: This is a follow on announcement to the original Sources Sought Synopsis published on 02 Aug 94. Contracting Officer, William C. Leslie, OC-ALC/LADCB, 3001 Staff Dr Ste 2A186A, Tinker AFB OK 73145-3020, FAX 405- 739-4452 is seeking a responsible source with demonstrated capabilities to provide Engineering Services for the Advanced Cruise Missile (AGM-129A). The initial announcement went on to explain that this missile system, co- produced by the Hughes Missile Systems Company (formerly McDonnell Douglas Missile System company), was currently supported with Engineering Services via the Weapon Systems Support (WSS) Contract, Contract F33657-93-C-0030 which was awarded to Hughes on 02 Feb 94. This contract is managed by the USAF Aeronautical System Center (ASC/VCK) at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, OH (FAX 513-255-6873) and will expire on 30 Sep 95. The replacement contract will be issued by the Oklahoma City Air Logistic Center which has assumed responsibility for the support of the AGM-129A. The intent of the 02 Aug 94 Sources Sought Synopsis was for the PCO to determined the degree of industry interest in providing Engineering Services for this missile system. Several responses were received from both large and small businesses. The AGM-129A System Program Office then began an effort assemble the necessary documentation to support a competition between qualified sources since the current contract was due to expire on 30 Sep 94. After a review of the AGM-129A information available it was decided by the Designated Acquisition Authority (DAC) that the Government was not able to compete Engineering Services beyond the two production sources of the AGM-129A until such time as uncertainties in the area of data was resolved. Accordingly, the DAC authorized the Contracting Officer to issue a Request for Proposal restricted to the two production sources (Hughes and McDonnell Douglas) with the goal of awarding a one year contract with a provision for a 120 days extension. This authorization was with the understanding that an examination of the data available to the System Program Office would be made which would determine to what degree competition to provide these AGM- 129A Engineering Services would be possible in the future. Accordingly this Restricted Sources Synopsis is published to announce that the awarding of a contract for Engineering Services to support the USAF AGM-129A Advanced Cruise Missile for the period of 01 Oct 95 through 30 Sep 96 (with a possible 120 day option) is restricted to the following companies: Hughes Missile Systems company (Tuscon,AZ) and McDonnell Douglas Aerospace (St Louis MO). It is the intent of the Government to issue a Request For Proposal to these two companies on or about 06 Jul 95 with the goal of having a Time and Materials contract for Engineering Services awarded by 30 Sep 1995. Note that the System Program Office and the Contracting Officer are sponsoring a Pre Solicitation conference at the OCALC at Bldg 3001 on 19 Jun 95. Interested contractors for this acquisition and the planned follow on acquisition may attend this Conference to receive an unclassified briefing on the AGM-129A Advanced Cruise Missile and the Request for proposal. Contractors (both large and small) are encouraged to submit questions in writing(no phone calls) to the PCO (See FAX number and address above) prior to the Conference. Contractors are restricted to a limit of three (3) personnel attending the Conference due to space limitations. (0160)
