Stephanie Allen, Contracting Officer, (908)532-1093. This is an
acquisition for 15 Lightweight Laser Designator Rangefinder (LLDR) for
an Engineering Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract. This will be
a best value award. LLDR is an integration of laser desinator, laser
rangefinder, azimuth and vertical angle measurement, global positioning
system (GPS), thermal imager, optics, and digital data export
technologies into a field capable device (including battery, tripod,
and all other required ancillary items) weighing less than 30 pounds
when distributed in roughly two 15 pound loads. LLDR must provide
target designation capability for precision guided munitions out to
ranges of 5 kilometers for stationary targets and 3 kilometers for
moving targets, eyesafe rangefinding to 10 kilometers (20 desired),
azimuth and vertical angle measurement to +/ - 10 mils relative to grid
north, day/night operation, and digital output of target and
self-location data for transmission by an exisitng digital message
device such as the Forward Entry Device (FED) or similar tactical
computer. Emphasis will be placed on currently available
non-developmental technologies with emerging technology acceptable if
low risk and cost effective Modularity is encouraged consistent with
user requirements, weight, and cost limitations. A draft Solicitation
is available for review and comment on the CECOM Electronics Bulletin
Board (EBB) as of 7 March 1996, Number 901. The RFP will be issued
approximately 15 April with contract award as early as Fourth Quarter
FY96. The contract will consist of a two-year EMD effort yielding a
quantity of 15 units for test leading to a Milestone III production
decision at the end of the EMD effort. Bidders will be asked to supply
a Design-to-Cost goal as part of their EMD proposal. If at the end of
the EMD effort the successful bidder submits a production proposal
consistent with the Design-to-Cost goal, and the DTC goal is within the
affordability range of the Government, the Government will strongly
consider a Sole Source Production award to that bidder at the DTC
price. Currently the production quantity is estimated to be 600 units.
The Government will reserve the right to recompete the production
award if the DTC goal is not met or if technical performance is not to
acceptable standards. Production is envisioned to start in FY99. An
industry Brief to discuss the LLDR program will be held on 21 March
1996; 9:00 am to 12:00 noon, in the Night Vision & Electronic Sensors
