- Description
- General Information Document Type: Solicitation Number: Posted Date: Response Date: Classification Code: A -- Research & Development Contracting Office Address Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Directed Energy Contracting Directorate (PKDB), 2251 Maxwell Ave, Kirtland AFB, NM 87117-5773 DESC: Contracting Point of Contact: Marialyn Achille-Argaez, Contract Specialist, (505) 846-6876, Technical Point of Contact: Capt Laura Durr, (505) 846-5803. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Directed Energy Contracting Directorate on behalf of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Directed Energy Directorate (DE), Kirtland AFB, NM intends to award a sole source modification in accordance with FAR subpart 6.302-1 (a)(2)(iii) to the Optical Sciences Company, under the Supporting Technologies for Atmospheric Compensation (STACI) contract F29601-01-D-0239, for several on-going research projects. The contemplated effort is to increase the current contract ceiling by $4.9 million within the current term of the contract which is through 30 Nov 2005. BACKGROUND: The Air Force Research Laboratory?s Advanced Optics and Imaging Division has engaged in the research and development of airborne and ground-based laser transmitting systems requiring adaptive phase compensation to correct the effects of atmospheric turbulence. Likewise, active and passive ground, air or space-based imaging systems require either turbulence compensation or some other unconventional technique to overcome the adverse effects of the atmosphere. STACI provides analysis, simulation and experimental work relevant to atmospheric turbulence effects by understanding and advancing the present technologies and theories so that new or enhancing concepts for performing atmospheric turbulence compensation, tilt tracking, and imaging can be implemented in airborne or ground-based systems of interest. A contract modification will be issued to the Optical Sciences Company provided other sources cannot provide the services at more favorable terms. Respondents are required to provide a statement of capability containing pertinent and specific information addressing the following areas: 1. Experience: An outline of projects previously performed relevant to the subject areas. 2. Personnel: Name, professional qualifications and specific experience of scientific, engineering and program management personnel who might be assigned to work in the areas of the subject effort. 3. Facilities: Availability and description of special facilities required to perform in the technical areas under consideration. Responses are limited to 15 pages including program plan, resumes, attachments, diagrams, etc. Any responses not addressing all requirements will be rejected. Submit responses to Marialyn Achille-Argaez, AFRL/PKDB, 2251 Maxwell Ave. SE, Kirtland AFB NM 87117-5773 no later than fifteen (15) calendar days after the date of this announcement by 3:00pm, Mountain Time (MT). The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiated with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii). This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within thirty (30) calendar days after the publication date of this announcement will be considered by the Government. The determination of the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
