Joseph.Bracht@wpafb.af.mil, Joseph.Bracht@wpafb.af.mil. Background
"The Air Force intends to issue a Request For Proposal (RFP) an
12-month Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) effort for a
LANTIRN Bomb Impact Assessment (BIA) Modification Program, formerly
known as the Bomb Damage Assessment (BDA) Mod Program. The effort will
consist of detailed design, manufacture, integration, and test of a
radiometer, digital recorder, and portable data transfer device with
the current LANTIRN Targeting Pod on F-15 aircraft. Software and
hardware updates will also be completed on associated support equipment
and image interpreter workstations. This modification would be done on
existing LANTIRN targeting pods with no degradation in current mission
performance and would be transparent to the pilot. A
production/retrofit decision will be made following successful
completion of the EMD program and authorization to proceed for
retrofits of 43 Targeting Pods spread out over a three-year period.
Delivery of the first production LANTIRN BIA Pod is anticipated to
occur in January 2002. The expected RFP release date is not later than
15 November 1999. Proposal responses are due 30 days later. An
Ombudsman has been appointed to address concerns from offerors or
potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this
acquisition. The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the
Program Manager or Contracting Officer but communicates contractor
concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate
Government personnel. Potential offerors should use established
channels to request information, pose questions, and voice concerns
before resorting to use of the Ombudsman. When requested, the Ombudsman
shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern.
If needed, potential offerors are invited to contact ASC's Ombudsman,
Mr. Stephen Plaisted, 1790 10th Street, Room 208, Wright-Patterson AFB
OH 45433-7126, at (937) 9095. Direct any routine communications
concerning this acquisition to Mr. Joseph Bracht or Mr. Thomas Tippett,
Contracting Officer, ASC/FBLK, Building 16, Mail Stop 16, 2275 D
Street, Suite 142, Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433-7233, (937) 255- 4001.
