This is a presolicitation notice for Engineering support for the Central Interface Control Unit (CICU) and Cockpit Data Unit (CDU) and its Operational Flight Program (OFP). The scope of this requirement is to establish the engineering development environment which has the capability to compile, link, and match the check-sums of the Suite 7A OFP baseline at Hill AFB for the CICU & CDU OFP. When the Suite 7A contract CDRL items were delivered there were several items that were not included in the source code delivery because they are technically part of the "development environment tool set". These items are required to properly support the A-10C OFP and must be delivered or technical support to recreate them is required by this requirement. Essentially all components required to perform software development (compile, link, load, debug, test) for the A-10C aircraft.
