10 -- Hard and Deeply Buried Target Characterize, Engage, Assess (HDBTCEA)

The Hard and Deeply Buried Target Characterize, Engage, Assess (HDBTCEA) Initial Capability Document (ICD) has been issued by Air Combat Command (ACC) as a controlled release intended for Department of Defense (DOD) governmental agencies and contractors that have a demonstrated official need, possess an active DOD contract, and hold a current DD254 security classification form. Access to this document is restricted to facilities with approved security clearances and appropriate secure storage capabilities to handle sensitive information. Interested parties must also provide justification for obtaining the ICD, which serves as an informational and planning tool rather than a solicitation or commitment by the government. The document and related information are subject to change and cannot be relied upon as final. Requests for access should be directed to the Air Armament Center’s Capabilities Integration Directorate, with specific contact points for both contractual and security inquiries provided to assist in facilitating the process. The solicitation reference number is PKZB-06-0001-XR, dated September 22, 2005, and contracting matters are managed by Contracting Officer Stacey L. Hughes. The notice emphasizes that this is neither a request for proposal nor an official contractual obligation, but a preliminary release of information for qualified and cleared entities within the defense sector.
