GBU-16 LASER GUIDED BOMB SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS

This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought Synopsis. It is intended as a method of informing potential contractors of the existence of a Bid Qualification Plan for Paveway II Laser Guided Bombs. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the government. The USAF on behalf of the country of Italy is seeking potential contractors to become an approved supplier for Paveway II Laser Guided Bombs for an anticipated GBU-16 Paveway II kit procurement. The Bid Qualification Plan outlines those efforts necessary to approve potential producers to bid as a source supplier of the GBU-16 Laser Guided Bomb. Upon contract award, the selected best value contractor shall be required to complete additional significant efforts to demonstrate complete interchangeability and interoperability with existing U.S. Government inventories not limited to: demonstration, analysis, environmental testing and additional drop testing. Guided Bomb Units (GBUs) are purchased as kits consisting of one each Computer Control Group (CCG) and one each Airfoil Group (AFG) prepackaged in containers of a specified design. Kits shall be form, fit and function compatible to current existing U.S. Government inventories. Computer Control Groups (CCG) and Airfoil Groups (AFG) can also be procured individually based on the customer's requirement. The Bid Qualification Plan is designed to demonstrate each offeror's competency to bid on Paveway II procurements.
