- Description
- The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) is hosting an Industry Day for the PIGA Float Sustainment contract. This component plays a critical role in the guidance system of the Minuteman III (MMIII) missile. The government's intent is to establish a competitive procurement and believes adequate competition exists within the market. This event will provide interested parties with an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities and experience relevant to sustaining the PIGA Float system. This Industry Day follows the previously released Sources Sought (SS) notice (FA821425CBPIGA) and aims to cultivate a competitive landscape for this critical sustainment effort. Participation in SS-FA821425CBPIGA is not required for participation in this Industry Day THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP). The government reserves the right to set aside any subsequent acquisition based upon known sources and/or responses to this synopsis.

Specifically, contractors should address their expertise in manufacturing and inspecting parts with extremely tight tolerances and their ability to secure and utilize rare materials. While the government will provide a high-level overview of the PIGA Float system and its importance to the MMIII guidance system, the emphasis will be on industry partners demonstrating their understanding of the system's functionality and their proposed sustainment strategies. This is an opportunity for industry to differentiate their offerings and demonstrate their readiness to meet the sustainment needs of the PIGA Float system. Participation in this Industry Day will not provide contractors with access to any special or privileged information. As part of the industry day, contractors will be allotted time to ask questions. Answers to questions asked will be distributed to all participants and included as part of all future release packages Eligibility: interested parties must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).
