This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought Synopsis. It is intended as a
method of informing potential contractors of the existence of an upcoming
Paveway III Laser Guided Bomb procurement. 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 is seeking potential contractors to
"qualify to bid" as a source supplier for Paveway III Laser Guided Bombs
Telemetry Kits for an anticipated GBU-28 TM Kit procurement. Also to be
procured are transmitter programming harnesses and encryptor interfaces.
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. If an offeror
desires technical information they may contact 507 CBSS/GBLC, 6034 Dogwood
Avenue, Bldg. 1257, Hill AFB, UT 84056-5816, Attn: DaVon Day (801) 777-8156,
or by E-Mail at [email protected].

A Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract is being contemplated at an estimated
value of $13.3M.

The anticipated requirement is for an estimated quantity of 4 each GBU-28C/B
TM Kits, 31 each GBU-28D/B, 36 each GBU-28E/B, 3 each Cable Assembly,
Transmitter Programming Harness, and 3 each Encryptor Interface (Note these
numbers are estimates only and in no way obligate the US Government).
Deliveries are required to no later than 18 Months after contract award. The
government estimates that it will cost potential offerors approximately $50
million to "qualify to bid" on this anticipated procurement as the
Government does not own the data necessary to qualify new sources. It is
anticipated that a Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued in September 2010
with a closing date in November 2010. This will ensure that award is
accomplished by December 2010 for contract award. Potential offerors should
respond to this synopsis within 15 days following the publication of this
notice. Written responses may be sent to the Contracting Officer at 784TH
