Item 0002 The Ogden Air Logistics Center, Hill AFB Utah has a facility (the ''Photonics Facility'') in which it performs the following: Optical repair and manufacturing, electrical/mechanical repair of optical devices, optical thin film coating, photographic image quality testing (a four-story facility for critical testing of the image quality of aerial and space sensors composed of an array of 14 diffraction limited, off-axis parabolic mirror collimators pointing from different angles to the sensor test position), optical environmental chamber testing (simulates altitude from sea level to 70,000 feet and temperatures from -100 to +250 degrees F - vibration isolated), cartographic camera calibration (used to calibrate the distortion characteristics of mapping cameras or any camera that is to be used for mensuration work) and subassembly and circuit card testing. Complete lists of facilities, equipment and workload currently being performed by Air Force personnel in the Photonics Facility will be provided upon request. The Air Force is considering making the Photonics Facility available for operation by a contractor who will perform the Air Force photonics work. The contractor selected may also be authorized, subject to suitable agreement, to perform other private commercial work in the facility, as long as it does not interfere with the Air Force workload. Interested contractors must be willing to compensate the US Treasury for use of the Photonics Facility. The details of the agreement will be established after responses to this Request for Information (''RFI'') are received. There may be unresolved issues surrounding the potential use of the Air Force Photonics Facility by a private company, including, but not limited to, legal issues (such as compliance with OMB Circular A-76 and the Federal Workforce Restructuring Act, where applicable). There are also financial, and procedural concerns to be addressed. This RFI is intended to identify as many of such concerns as possible, to assess whether they can be resolved satisfactorily, and to learn the level of private contractor interest in such an arrangement. The Air Force reserves the right to evaluate responses to this RFI, and to determine in its sole discretion what, if any, action it may take. Please direct your letters of interest and any other questions or comments to R.C. Hull, Chief, Commodities Contracting Division, OO-ALC/LIK, Hill AFB UT 84056 by 16 Aug, 1996. Request for facilities, equipment and workload lists should be received by 16 Aug 1996. Telephone (801)777-6360. (0192)
