Notional Acquisition Milestones and Events: PM Radars will host a one-day Program Planning Briefing to Industry on 29 Nov 05 at Gibbs Hall, Fort Monmouth, NJ. Information regarding registration for this event will be posted under a separate FEDBIZOPS ann ouncement within one week from the date of this notice. PM Radars will host this all day event affording industry an opportunity to hear about the latest program performance goals and objectives directly from PEO IEW&S staff, the user community and PM NV/ RSTA. The informational briefings are to be followed by an open forum for industry to discuss areas of interest and to submit questions. After completion of the open forum the government plans to hold one-on-one sessions with interested parties who have pr e-registered for this portion of the event. Additional information regarding registering for one-on-one meetings will be released in a separate FEDBIZOPS synopsis within one week from publication of this notice. PM Radars is working towards release of a Draft EQ-36 Solicitation early 2QFY06 with a goal of receiving industry comments for consideration within 14 days from release of the draft. The goal is to release the final solicitation within 2QFY06 with proposals for the SDD phase being submitted withi n 30 days from release. It is anticipated that proposal evaluations will take place over a three month period with the goal of awarding a single contract to the proposal determined to offer the best value to the government late in FY06. Best value consider ations will include overall performance, realism of schedule, affordability constraints, d elivery of design data, past performance and price. The government envisions awarding an incentive type contract with meaningful rewards linked directly to schedule. The SDD phase could span a period of 24-36 months at which time the government will subje ct at least 4 prototypes to field and laboratory tests before making decisions to proceed with further development initiatives and/or proceeding onto limited or full rate production. SDD affordability considerations are linked to a projected RDTE funding p rofile totaling $189 Million in the FY06-FY10 time frame during which it is expected that some form of an Operational Test will be conducted in FY08. Production affordability considerations are linked to Production planning budget of $1.6 Billion.

Please note that information presented during the 14 Jun 05 APBI regardi ng an EQ-36 phased approach to achieving performance objectives has been revised to reflect current program goals for implementing a comprehensive SDD program focused on achieving a 360 degree capability from the outset.
