A -- CHEMICALLY/BIOLOGICALLY HARDENED AIR MANAGEMENT PLANT (CHAMP) SOL F41624-93-R-1000 POC Kim Walton, Contract Specialist, (210) 536-6385, Rachael A Harris, Contracting Officer, (210) 536-6320. This is a modification to our sources sought synopsis dated 06 Oct 1994. The Aeromedical Systems Division (HSC/YAM) of the Human Systems Program Office awarded two contracts in December, 1993 to Guild Associates, Inc., Hillard OH and Engineered Air Systems, Inc., St Louis MO for the development and production of a prototype CHAMP to improve the temperature, chemical and biological protection of the Air Transportable Hospitals (ATHs). These two basic contracts included a provision for a downselect to one contract for the Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) engineering manufacturing development phase and the Firm Fixed Fee (FFP) production phase. The Government reserved the right to downselect to a single source at the conclusion of testing the prototypes. Down selection is scheduled to occur between Apr 95 and Sep 95. The Government's expectations are that only offerors participating in the proceding phase will be capable of successfully competing for the subsequent and future phases; however, all responsible sources which feel they have produced a prototype which has demonstrated compliance with our requirements, will be considered by the agency. All potential offerors desiring to enter the competition must demonstrate they meet all Government specifications and the same level of design maturity as the successful contractors from the preceding phase. The Government reserves the right to make a down selection for the next phase, when and if appropriate, without the issuance of a new formal solicitation. Do not submit a prototype or proposal in response to this announcement. Potential offerors must contact this office, Mr Kim Walton, Contract Specialist, at (210) 536-6385, or Mrs Rachael A Harris, Contracting Officer, at (210) 536-6320 for procedures to submit prototypes and for other instructions. Prototypes will be required for evaluation No Later Than (NLT) 31 March 1994. (0079)
