Official Synopsis for Cockpit-Selectable Height-of-Burst (C-HOBS) Sensor:

Subject: C-HOBS

Action Code: Synopsis

Description: The Joint Direct Attack Munition"s (JDAM"s) current fuze sensor, DSU-33D/B, has been in production since 1995; significant obsolescence issues prevent continued procurement of this sensor. C-HOBS is a modification program established to resolve current obsolescence issues with the DSU-33D/B sensor and to improve sensor performance. C-HOBS will maintain the same form, fit and function as the DSU-33D/B; however, due to the nature of the changes required to address the obsolescence issues, certain targets of opportunity to future-proof the sensor will be addressed. The changes include both manual and cockpit-selectable height-of-burst with improved system performance for JDAM and the Next Generation Area Attack Weapons (NGAAW) missions, which are pivotal to battlespace success. The C-HOBS requirement will be awarded via full and open competition.

Available for release is select data from Precision Selectable Height-of-Burst Sensor (P-HOBS) Contract No. FA8656-14-C-0171. Interested parties must provide a copy of a signed DD Form 2345 "Military Critical Technical Data Agreement" to the POC(s) identified on this FBO posting in order to be eligible to receive the data.

Section 2.2.6 Subfactor 3: Management Approach para (a) Rights in Technical Data, Computer Software, and Computer Software Documentation of Section M has been revised to include the following language "The Government"s intention is for the contractor to deliver complete level 3 drawings sufficient to manufacture and sustain C-HOBS product through full and open competition in the future. Offerors are not precluded from competing for award based on their refusal to provide at least Government Purpose License Rights to all data (other than the data listed as Unlimited in Table 1 of Attachment 2) and software delivered under the contract. However, an award decision will be based in part on how well the proposal meets the Government"s software and data right"s needs. In accordance with Table 5 "TECHNICAL RATINGS - TRADE OFF - Applicable to Data Only," an Offeror will receive a Marginal Rating under Subfactor 3(a) if it"s "proposal includes Unlimited Rights to just the data items as identified in Attachment 2 and proposes in accordance with Section L, M and Attachment 2..."

The statement, "Offerors are not precluded from competing for award based on their refusal to provide at least Government Purpose License Rights to all data (other than the data listed as Unlimited in Table 1 of Attachment 2) and software delivered under the contract" simply asserts that any interested party can still submit a proposal that will be evaluated. However, Offerors" proposals that do not meet the Government"s intent for obtaining level 3 drawings sufficient to manufacture and sustain C-HOBS product through full and open competition in the future will negatively affect its technical rating for Subfactor 3.
