16 -- RFI STORES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM POC Contact, Stacy Bostjanick, Phone (703)604-2000 The Program Executive Officer, Air, ASW, Assault and Special Mission Programs (PMA-290), is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to determine the availability of interested sources and expertise to provide a Stores Management System (SMS) to replace the current S-3 T/M/S Armament Control System (ARMCOS). The ARMCOS is part of the Control-Indicator Set, AN/ASQ-147. The new SMS will be integrated with and operate with the existing DISCOS and SESCOS. The navy will be looking for a prime contractor, via the formal competitive procurement process, to modify, integrate, fabricate, install, test and provide integrated logistics support (ILS), engineering and software development efforts to adapt/modify the SMS for use in the S-3 T/M/S aircraft. An RFI package is expected to be available to industry by 14 February 1997. Responses are sought from industry to aid the government in its planning processes and methods to maintain the existing system performance and functionality. A draft SMS Specification is available. This request shall not be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or as an obligation on the part of the government to acquire any follow-on capabilities. The government does not intend to award a contract at this time or otherwise pay for the information provided. No entitlement to payment of direct cost or charges by the government will arise as a result of submissions of responses. Any formal RFP will be separately listed in the Commerce Business Daily. Tentatively, the Government plans to release a draft RFP package during 1st quarter CY 1997. Contractors interested in receiving this package should provide company name, address, point of contact, phone number and fax number via fax and followed by a hard copy letter.
