E-MAIL: Angela Mitchell, mitchela@eglin.af.mil. THIS IS A CORRECTION TO THE SYNOPSIS ISSUED ON 14 APR 99. The Air Armament Center's Air Base Systems Program Office (AAC/WMO) plans to issue a Request for Proposal for a shelter to accommodate the B-2 bomber when on a forward deployment. This will be a total Small Business Set-a-side, and a "Best Value" procurement. Even though cost is a significant factor, any potential award may not go to the lowest bidder. The B2 Shelter System (B2SS) consists of three major components: an Extra Large Shelter (XLS); one or more Environmental Control Systems (ECS) for cooling and heating; and a Prime Power Unit (PPU) for generating electrical power. This office plans to issue a single RFP for the B2 Shelter System and the ECS units. We reserve the right to select separate vendors for these components and award separate contracts. However, we also reserve the right to award one contract to one vendor for the XLS and ECS, or award no contract at all. The XLS will be approximately 20,000 sq. feet and should be able to house an Air Force B2 Bomber. The XLS will be used primarily for military aircraft maintenance. The XLS includes the basic shelter structure, interior liner, exterior cladding, powered ventilation, lighting, spares, and special tools for installation, electrical distribution equipment and shipping/storage containers. The ECS will be a deployable air conditioner and heater system. Multiple ECS units may be required to support each XLS, depending upon deployment location. The PPU will be provided through an existing Air Force contract. The government may be the integrator for the power system and the B2SS. The estimated total program cost by the government is $20M-$27M (including options). It is intended that there will be a Request for Proposal (RFP), F08626-99-R-0249 issued on the World Wide Web on or about 21 May 99. The web-site address is http://eglinpk.eglin.af.mil/OPS RFP.HTM. This web-site is updated periodically with new program information. This procurement is limited to sources that can manufacture and produce this product in the United States. Maximum trade space between technical aspects and cost are highly encouraged, to allow offerors to propose their "best commercial" approach. This notice is for planning purposes only, and shall not be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an obligation on the part of the Government to make any follow-on acquisitions.
