A -- EXOATMOSPHERIC KILL VEHICLE (EKV) PROGRAM SOL DASG6090C0165/0166 POC Linda B. Gray, Contract Specialist, SMDC-CM-CN/Linda N. Bentley, Contracting Officer, SMDC-CM-CN, (205)955-1187 EXOATMOSPHERIC KILL VEHICLE (EKV) PROGRAM. The government currently has two on-going parallel contracts (DASG60-90-C-0165 with Boeing North American, Incorporated, Space Systems Division, 12214 Lakewood Boulevard, Downey, California 90241-7024 and DASG60-90-C-0166 with Hughes Missile Systems Company, P.O. Box 11337, Tucson, Arizona 85734) for the design, development, fabrication, and testing of a state-of-the-art kinetic Kill Vehicle (KV) that incorporates the latest technology in avionics, seeker, and propulsion and reaction control subsystems which can achieve sufficient maturity to support interceptor development and a fielding decision if required. These contracts were competitively awarded in October 1990. To date the Government has invested considerable sums of money and considerable time in this developmental work. It is the intent of the Government to award letter contract add-ons to these contracts (See Note 22) for the fabrication, integration, and testing of two (2) additional KV flight hardware units, flight test support for two (2) additional flight tests, and additional systems engineering support to address EKV/NMD integration issues. Additionally, Digital Global Positioning System (GPS) Translators (DGTs) are to be added to the kill vehicles built and tested as part of flight tests IFT-5 and above. This requirement also includes options for four (4) additional kill vehicles, seven (7) additional flight tests and support, and Special Studies. The objective of the acquisition is the further testing of the exact hardware developed under the current contracts. Because this requirement is for additional KVs being developed by Boeing and Hughes and additional flight tests which support a planned increase in flight testing and additional engineering analyses associated with NMD integration issues, award of these efforts to other than the proposed offerors would result in substantial duplication of costs to the Government. A TOP SECRET facility clearance is required. The proposed effort will not beopen to foreign participation. As permitted by Note 22, interested firms should submit their written qualifications to this office, ATTN: SMDC-CM-CN, Ms. Linda Gray, and should reference Letter Contract Add-On to Contract Numbers DASG60-90-C-0165 and DASG60-90-C-0166. All notices of interest should be submitted within fifteen (15) days of the publication of this notice. Any requests relative to this requirement shall include the requester's nine-digit zip code number as well as business size. (0353)
