59 -- Advance Technology Atomic Frequency Standard (ATAFS), Pre-Proposal Conference

The GPS Joint Program Office (GPS JPO) is hosting a Pre-proposal Tele-Conference for the Advanced Technology Atomic Frequency Standard (ATAFS) program on February 15, 2005, from 9:00 to 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time. The event will begin with a general open session followed by private 30-minute one-on-one sessions, available on a first-come, first-served basis. This tele-conference aims to assist potential prime contractors and their teams in understanding the proposal requirements outlined in the ATAFS Program Research and Development Announcement (PRDA) posted on February 8, 2005, on FedBizOps. Topics to be covered include an overview of the ATAFS acquisition, technical and contractual considerations, and guidance for proposal preparation. The contract includes a partial Small Business set-aside, with the relevant small business size standard being NAICS 541710 (1,000 employees). Interested participants must register and review agenda details on the GPS Bidder’s Library website and are encouraged to coordinate with Capt Kristi Lowenthal by February 11, 2005. The Department of Defense’s Sustainment Mcpnt Ssc/pkl office, located at Peterson AFB, Colorado, manages this effort. The tele-conference offers an important opportunity for interested offerors to gain clarity on the proposal process and specific program details.
