Description

The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command's (USASMDC's) Directed Energy Technology Program Office has a requirement to complete ATL ACTD program definition per ACTD Management Guidelines including Conceptual Design and system definition to the level necessary to begin system preliminary design activities for the ATL ACTD that was approved January 2001. Pursuant to 10 USC 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(i), USASMDC plans to award one or more contracts (or a contract and modification(s) thereto) on a sole source basis to the Boeing Company of Canoga Park, California. The ATL is required to be a sealed exhaust chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) that eliminates the soldier's exposure to chemical effluents and to fit on an MV-22 aircraft. Boeing has demonstrated a compact sealed Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser that meets these requirements. Boeing has patents for the critical design features of the Sealed Exhaust type of COIL technology, which is the advancement that allows this type of laser to meet the Government's requirements and merit ACTD approval. USASMDC believes that the COIL developed by Boeing is the only existing technology that meets these requirements and that only Boeing has the expertise to perform the ATL ACTD Program Definition phase in concert with synergistic and inseparable testing utilizing its sealed exhaust COIL. It is anticipated that the ATL ACTD Program Definition Phase efforts will be awarded and performed in Fiscal Years 2001 and 2002. A SECRET facility clearance is required for this effort. Written responses must cite notice number DASG60-01-00__ and be submitted to the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command, ATTN: SMDC-CM-AK/Mr. O. Wayne Koger, P.O. Box 1500, Huntsville, AL 35807-3801. See Note 22.
