WRIGHT LABORATORY CONTRACTING DIVISION (WL/MNK), 101 West EGLIN BOULEVARD, SUITE 337,Eglin AFB, FL 32542-6810

A -- SMART SWITCH SOL F0863095R0076 POC CONTACT POINT, STEVE SMITH, WL/MNMF, 904/882-2005, WANDA GEORGE Or LORNA TEDDER, WL/MNK, 904/882-4294X3409/3399 Or FAX 904/882-9599. The Wright Laboratorys Armament Directorate is contemplating the award of a 24 month program to perform design, develop, and demonstrate a smart switch capable of determination of initial target impact of a penetrating munition with soft and hard target media. The device must ignore other inertial stimuli which may provide a false indication of impact. Dection of air voids in the target structure is also a goal. Current penetrating ordnance packages suffer from an inability to reliably detect impact with soft media such as soils or thin targets. Fuzes for these ordnance packages utilize accelerometer technology that is approximately ten years old. Many advancements have occured since then that may be applicable to this problem. The Smart Switch will consist of an accelerometer, amplifier, frequency filter and threshold logic to provide an output signal to the fuze indicating the precise time of target impact. The design will be analyzed, components tested, a survivable packaging concept created, a design(s) approved. Then a quantity of bras board test items will be fabricated, and tested to verify and assess target impact detection and media determination capabilities. Prospective sources should provide evidence of their experience in the form of the successful completion of similar contracts, technical reports, journal publications, and presentations at technical meetings. Prospective sources should also provide evidence of their capability to perform accelerometer design, fabrication, testing, and evaluation. Research and Development Streamlined Contracting Procedures (RDSCP) apply to this acquisition in accordance with DFARS 235.70. A standard request for proposal (RFP) will not be issued. The solicitation is contemplated for release within 30 days and will appear in a subsequent edition of the Commerce Business Daily. As such, respondents to this notice must include complete address information to the office indicated below in order to receive any supplemental packages/amendments. Responses should be sent to: Wanda George, WL/MNK, Building 13, 101 West Eglin Boulevard, Suite 337, Eglin AFB, FL 32542-6810. Non technical assistance may be secured by calling the above individual at 904-882-4294, ext 3409. This program will include and generate classified SECRET information. Therefore, all potential offerors must have approved facilities for handling and storage of classified material. All respondents shall include their assigned Commercial and Government Entity Code. Participation by foreign sources is prohibited. An Ombudsman has been established for this acquisition. The only purpose of the Ombudsman is to receive and communicate serious concerns from potential offerors when an offeror prefers not to use established channels to communicate his concern during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. Potential offerors should use established channels to request information, pose questions, and voice concerns before resorting to use of the Ombudsman. Potential offerors are invited to contact ASCs Ombudsman, Colonel Daniel Tibbetts, Aeronautical Systems Center, at (904) 882-9051 with serious concerns only. Direct all routine communication concerning this acquisition to Wanda George, WL/MNK, Building 13, 101 West Eglin Boulevard, Suite 337, Eglin AFB, FL 32542-6810. (0172)
