E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Contract Specialist via, ldbalco@vulcan.belvoir.army.mil. The U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) proposes to establish a 5-year Time and Materials Requirements contract to obtain technical and engineering services to exploit foreign battlefield electro-optical (EO) devices, lasers and associated items in support of the Army's Foreign Materiel Exploitation Program (FMEP) and the National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC). The kinds of hardware to be exploited include passive and active near-infrared image intensifiers, thermal imagers, television systems, direct-view optics, illuminators, laser rangefinders and target designators, laser altimeters, directed energy weapons, laser triggers, beamrider lasers, optical-augmentation-based active targeting systems, and other associated battlefield imaging, ranging, targeting or sensor damage systems. Additional requirements could include performing basic research into advanced EO and laser technologies, as well as collection of optical cross-section measurements at tactically significant wavelengthsfrom visible through near-infrared. The objectives of these exploitations are to determine, validate, and verify the operating parameters of various EO and laser devices; examine the devices with respect to state-of-the art; establish origin of the technology used in the devices; design or construction; and assess the contribution the technology made to the devices' operational capability. Contract performance requires a SECRET facility clearance, SECRET safeguarding and staffing with personnel cleared to the SECRET level. In order to receive a copy of the solicitation, firms must possess a Collateral/Confidential facility clearance and Collateral/Confidential safeguarding. The anticipated release date for the solicitation is late January 2000. A proposal due date has not been determined.
