This acquisition is for continuous engineering services in support of the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) weapon system program office, Ogden Air Logistics Center (OO-ALC). This effort will include engineering support for the Peacekeeper and Minuteman III Guidance and Control systems and related activities in the following areas: The PCKR services include Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and third generation Inertial Instrument (TGII) project engineering, test and evaluation, assessment MMIII services included Missile Guidance Set (MGS) system and subsystem engineering, inertial instrument engineering (16 PIGA, GI-T1-B, and G6B4), ozone depleting chemical (ODC) elimination, technology development and evaluation in support of the MMIII guidance applications programs (GAP), and other related activities. This effort is to provide for mission essential engineering services necessary to maintain the PCKR and MMIII G&C systems to the highest possible state of readiness and effectiveness. The services will include support to the current G&C systems; engineering assistance to the system program office (SPO) and associate contractors (ASCONS) during implementation of privatization in place (PIP) for guidance system and subsystem repairs; technical management of the instrument and components elements of the gap program; and limited engineering support for implementation of guidance replacement program (GRP) system modifications.
