A -- JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER (JSF) AIR SYSTEM ENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURING DEVELOPMENT PHASE SOL N00019-00-R-0397 POC Denise Hanley ((703)601-5582) or Sheila McGlynn ((703)601-5520) E-MAIL: above provides contracting officer e-mail points of, HanleyDA@jast.mil or McGlynnSA@jast.mil. The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Program intends to conduct a limited competition for Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD). The competition will result in the selection of a single prime contractor and will be limited to the two JSF Program Demonstration and Risk Reduction (PDRR) contractors, Boeing and Lockheed-Martin. Following a 1996 Full and Open Competition, these contractors were awarded JSF PDRR contracts. The principal objective of the PDRR phase was to demonstrate those critical technologies, processes, and system characteristics necessary to produce an affordable family of strike aircraft that meet USAF, USMC, USN, and UK service needs. The principal objectives of EMD will be to develop an affordable family of strike aircraft and an autonomic logistics support and training system. Specifically, the successful offeror will develop and verify a production-ready system design that features a balanced approach to the JSF pillars of affordability, lethality, survivability, and supportability. Since this is a limited competition, this notice is for informational purposes only. Posted 06/15/00 (W-SN465057). (0167)
