E-MAIL: Bridget Tuominen, tuominen@jdam.eglin.af.mil. The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) Systems Program Office, Air Armament Center (AAC)/YU, Eglin AFB, Florida, intends to issue a contract to McDonnell Douglas Corporation, a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of The Boeing Company for the modification of the existing JDAM weapon system to provide an accurate guidance kit capability for the 500 pound Mk-82 general purpose warhead. The Government anticipates the Mk-82 procurement will not significantly change the total overall quantities for the JDAM weapon system program. McDonnell Douglas Corporation is currently the JDAM prime contractor and has sole responsibility for the design and warranty of the JDAM weapon system. The Government does not own a technical data package (TDP) for the JDAM weapon system, therefore, a data package is not available to any other companies to enable them to learn the JDAM design. The Mk-82 JDAM weapon system will exploit and maximize commonality with current JDAM weapon systems, including: JDAM aircraft and carriage systems; JDAM aircraft-to-weapon interfaces; JDAM aircraft operational flight software; existing and planned JDAM mission planning systems; and, JDAM operational support equipment, support systems, and warranties. In order to successfully execute this program, a contractor must have and demonstrate full knowledge of the current JDAM weapon systems, JDAM aircraft and aircraft-weapon integration programs, JDAM modes of operation and JDAM mission planning systems, the JDAM weapon system TDP, all of its sub-components, and the JDAM simulation and analysis tools. The estimated period of performance for this effort is 25 months. For programmatic and technical information concerning this synopsis, contact Lt. Colonel Richard Walley at (850) 882-3525, extension 3205 or Mike Evans at (850) 882-4262, extension 3203. For contractual information, please contact Ms Terri Brown at (850) 882-4262, extension 3124. An Ombudsman has been appointed to address concerns for this acquisition. The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the program director or contracting officer, but communicates contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. Matters of a routine or administrative nature concerning this acquisition should not be addressed to the Ombudsman but rather to the Contracting Officer, or the Program Manager identified above. For any other concerns, interested parties may call the AAC Ombudsman, Dr. Mario J. Caluda at (850) 882-5558. Please see Numbered Notes 22, 25 and 26.
