The U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Center GPS Directorate document GPU-09-071, Process Requirements Document for Authorization to

Procure or Transfer GPS Precise Positioning Service (PPS) Host Application Equipment (HAE), dated 24 August 2009, requires companies to request transfer authorization (i.e. to obtain and/or transfer GPS PPS HAE) through their STARS account. A separate transfer authorization is required for each type (Type I or Type II) of Government Furnished GPS PPS HAE requested. An additional transfer authorization is required for Offerors intending to use company owned GPS PPS HAE in their D3 bid samples.

GPU-09-071 requires endorsement from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (OASD) for an Offeror to obtain or use a SAASM GPS

PPS HAE in support of Independent Research & Development (IR&D) in order to transfer HAE when a contract is not already in place.

Upon release of the D3 RFP, Offerors interested in receiving GFE PPS HAE shall e-mail their request to Ms. Laura Crescenzo laura.m.crescenzo.civ@mail.mil and Mr. Gregory F. Kaiser Jr. gregory.f.kaiser2.civ@mail.mil. This email request should contain:

OASD IR&D endorsement letter

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

Notes (ENS) securely on-line. Offerors are required to provide two (2) company individuals whose responsibilities will include reading and responding to ENs through ASSIST. For example, the Offerors Contract Manager, as an agent of the company might be the main agent responsible, but a second agent should be available in case of the main agents unavailability. The two (2) agents names, company titles, telephone numbers, facsimile numbers, and e-mail addresses shall be provided. This required information is to be submitted with proposals under Volume V - Solicitation, Offer and Award Documents and Certifications/Representations. In order to access ASSIST, these individuals will need an IBOP username and password. Once the company representatives are provided access to ASSIST, your company will be informed of the specific website where your agents will receive and respond to the ENs. Offerors are cautioned that receipt of the website does NOT constitute official notice that a competitive range determination has been made and that a particular Offeror remains in the competitive range. The intent of this section is to advise Offerors that they may be receiving EN questions on-line if they remain in the competitive range and the Government decides to conduct discussions. Detailed instructions will be provided during the proposal evaluation phase.

If Offerors have questions related to ASSIST they can speak to a Government representative about this program and how it works, contact

Mrs. Laura Crescenzo, Contract Specialist at 443-861-4723, laura.m.crescenzo.civ@mail.mil

It is the Governments intent to make award(s) without discussions in accordance with FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors Competitive

Acquisition. Therefore, Offerors should provide their best terms from a price and technical standpoint in their initial proposal. The

Government reserves the right, however, to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

U.S. Army Personnel: Summary Statistics Interim Report by Claire Gordon et al; Technical Report Natick/TR-89/027. March 1989. AD-A209-

600.

How its solutions features, to include controls, indicators, cabling system configurations and required basic functions, do not increase operator cognitive workload.

How its solution provides consistent functional behaviors in response to consistent user interactions.
