A -- ORDNANCE PACKAGE EVALUATION CODE (OPEC) SOL MNK 96-009 POC Contract Specialist, Dana Sillars, (904) 882-4294, Ext 3411. A sole source procurement is contemplated with Physics Mathematics and Computers Incorporated (PMC), P.O. Box 787, Socorro, New Mexico 87801 (See numbered Note 22). Point of contact at PMC is Mr. Patrick D. Buckley, President, (505) 835-2951. PMC is the only known qualified source to perform this effort. Modifications are required to improve the existing ''Ordnance Package Evaluation Code (OPEC)'' computer program, ( copyright 1994 PMC, Inc. The modifications will upgrade this program in several areas including: designing and implementing an improved procedure for tabulating target direct hit, blast and fragment kill at the component level, designing and implementing an improved screen menu system for entering analysis conditions data, and implementing the FATEPEN2 fragment penetrations equations. PMC is uniquely capable of performing these tasks through their direct experience with the original software engineering, design and implementation of the original PointBurst and subsequent OPEC computer programs. PMC developed and tested OPEC under Motorola Subcontract No. XXQ412 (Government Contract F08635-90-C-0039) entitled ''Lethality Analysis Tools Development Programmable Ordnance Technology''. OPEC is built upon PMC's original PointBurst code. OPEC contains new algorithms and models from existing Air Force endgame simulation programs. PMC has demonstrated its expertise on many prior and ongoing contracts dealing with endgame simulation, fuze modeling, warhead modeling, lethality and vulnerability predictions. PMC has recently developed a PC based computer program ''Advanced Concept Evaluation'' under US Army Contract DAAE07-92-C-R057 that gives them experience with the integration of using the FATEPEN2 code as an analysis module. The knowledge gained from these and other related programs and the fact that PMC has intimate knowledge of the details of the OPEC program would result in much shorter development times and allow more of the required modifications to be completed within the given budget. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. Firms having applicable background, interest, and capability may submit particulars, in acordance with Note 22, within 15 days of publication, to Wright Laboratory (WL/MNK), Attn: Dana Sillars, 101 West Eglin Blvd, Ste 337, Eglin AFB FL 32542-6810. 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. All potential offerors should use established channels to request information, pose questions, and voice concerns before resorting to use the Ombudsman. Potential offerors are invited to contact ASC Eglin's Ombudsman, Colonel Timothy R. Kinney at (904) 882-9051 with serious concerns only. Direct requests for information concerning technical aspects to Captain Eric Scarborough, WL/MNMF, Eglin AFB FL 32542-6810, (904) 882-2005, for contractual information, contact Dana Sillars, WL/MNK, Eglin AFB 32542-6810, (904) 882-4294, ext. 3411.
