FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center’s Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Systems Directorate (ICBMSD) of Air Force Materiel Command is in the process of selecting a contractor for the Propulsion Subsystem Support Contract (PSSC). The PSSC will provide knowledge based sustaining engineering support to the ICBMSD for sustainment of the Minuteman III (MMIII) ICBM Propulsion Subsystem, to include flight controls, weapons system ordnance, and flight system batteries. The current operational ICBM MMIII is expected to remain in the AF inventory until 2030. This poses unique challenges in sustaining mission capability for an aging weapon system well beyond its original design life. The PSSC vehicle will be used by the ICBMSD and Air Force Global Strike Command to address sustainment and modification development issues for the MMIII ICBM Propulsion Subsystem.

One of the considerations in proposal evaluation is the verification of the offerors' past and present performance on contracts, which reflect the offeror's ability to perform on the proposed effort. The Government depends on information received from agencies such as yours, which have had first-hand experience with the offeror, for the evaluation of the offeror's performance on prior contracts.

The areas of interest in the offeror are summarized in the enclosed questionnaire. The schedule is extremely tight, and the Government needs your written response no later than 14 calendar days after your receipt of this letter. This schedule will allow the Government sufficient time to analyze the data prior to the start of negotiations.

To assist you in preparing your response and expediting your reply, the questionnaire may be filled out electronically or by hand and emailed to Mr. Jed Noorda at Jed.Noorda@us.af.mil. Your completed questionnaire will become a part of the official Source Selection records.

Your help is greatly appreciated and your prompt response will be one of the keys to the successful and timely completion of this Source Selection.
