- Description
- The Air Force Test Center (AFTC) is pleased to announce a Small Business Industry Day (SBID) to be held in Huntsville, AL during the third week of November 2014. The AFTC plays a critical role in developmental test and evaluation (T&E) for AFMC's air and ground systems and is an essential cornerstone to the command's consolidation initiative from 12 centers to five. Headquartered at Edwards AFB, CA, AFTC leads the Air Force's T&E mission, conducting developmental T&E of air, space, and cyber systems to provide timely, objective, and accurate information to decision makers. The AFTC is comprised of the following organizations: 412th TW, Edwards AFB, CA, Arnold Engineering and Development Complex, Arnold AFB, TN, and the 96th TW, Eglin AFB, FL. The 412th TW plans, conducts, analyzes, and reports on all flight and ground testing of aircraft, weapons systems, software and components as well as modeling and simulation for the Air Force. There are three core components for this mission: flying operations, maintenance and engineering. The 412th TW also operates the Air Force Test Pilot School. Arnold Engineering and Development Complex scientists and engineers perform ground tests, engineering analysis and technical evaluations for all the U.S. armed forces, other government agencies and commercial aerospace industry on aircraft, missiles and space systems at the conditions they will experience during a mission for research, system development and operational programs. The 96th TW plans, directs and documents T&E efforts for Air Force air-delivered weapons, navigation and guidance systems, Command and Control systems, and Air Force Special Operations Command systems. The wing provides expert evaluation and validation of the performance of systems throughout the design, development, acquisition, and sustainment process to ensure the warfighter has technologically superior, reliable, maintainable, sustainable and safe systems. The AFTC SBID event will provide a targeted forum for interested SBs to 1) allow SBs to privately brief senior government representatives on their specific capabilities and 2) hear about potential prime contractor business opportunities within the AFTC. SBs are advised that this SBID opportunity is targeted to the AFTC Broad Areas of Interest and the associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes identified in this announcement. Private briefing time limits may be required in order to accommodate all attendees and the number of attendees per company may also be limited. Furthermore, pending the level of response and building capacity issues, attendance may be limited to SBs that provide the most interesting white papers and/or a first come, first serve basis. Companies will be notified in advance of their selection to provide one-on-one briefings, the exact location of the event and of any briefing time and/or attendance limitations. To be considered for attendance, a SB must provide a white paper(s) (not to exceed 5 pages) describing their capabilities directly related to the Broad Areas of Interest/NAICs codes in this announcement. SBs may submit multiple papers but only one per Broad Area of Interest. SBs will be expected to brief the government the details of papers submitted during the SBID. Papers for purely commercial like services (including information technology, security, advisory and assistance services, & other management services) will not be considered for this targeted event. White papers are due no later than 8 Jul 2014. Submit questions about the Broad Areas of Interest white papers and the event to the points of contact listed below. Questions received may be answered via amendment(s) to this announcement if deemed relevant to all parties unless a specific request for privacy is included. Send white paper submissions & technical questions to Douglas Hoffelt at douglas.hoffelt.1@us.af.mil Send event venue questions to: Ms. Camille M. Piazza at afsbid@brtrc.com NAICS codes listed are not exclusive but were evaluated as a best fit. AFTC Broad Areas of Interest (- topic below) may fall under multiple NAICS codes to include NAICS 541712, Research & Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology).
