Industry Day Announcement, Joint Miniature Munitions Bomb Rack Unit (JMM BRU)

The Miniature Munitions Division, Armament Directorate (AFMC), announces an Industry Day for the potential future acquisition of the Joint Miniature Munitions Bomb Rack Unit (JMM BRU) to be held on 22 September 2011 from 0800 to 1630 hrs at Eglin Air Force Base, FL. The Government will host the Industry Day at the University of Florida Research and Engineering Education Facility, 1350 North Paquito Road, Shalimar, FL 32579. The JMM BRU is an evolutionary acquisition of the miniature munitions carriage. A Sources Sought, 918ARSG-SDB-10-001, was previously posted on 09 Apr 2010 and amended on 01 September 2010 to determine potential interested sources that possess the necessary skills, experience, qualifications, and knowledge required to successfully develop and provide a non-pyrotechnic JMM BRU for suspension and release of the Small Diameter Bomb (SDB I ) and Small Diameter Bomb (II). The SDB II is currently under development for US Air Force and DoN aircraft. An initial Industry Day was held on 14 September 2010. The purpose of this Industry Day event is to provide an update to available program information pertaining to the JMM BRU program, provide an overview of the Government draft requirements package and conduct structured open forum question and answer sessions with interested companies. One-on-one sessions with potential prime contractors may be scheduled by written request only and will follow the structured open forum question and answer session. One-on-one discussions with interested prime contractors, in a proprietary only forum, will be scheduled and the length of time allotted for each potential offeror will be based on the number of requests received. Each potential offeror will receive an equal allotment of time. One-on-one sessions will be scheduled in the order requests are received and you will receive an email notification of the time and location of the session. The JMM BRU requirement contains classified elements that will not be discussed at the Industry Day event. However, we anticipate classified information will be presented in the future; therefore, responding firms are required to have, at a minimum, a secret level security clearance.
