DESCRIPTON: The US Air Force, through the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center Nuclear Weapons Acquisition Division at Eglin AFB (AFNWC/NDB), plans to conduct an Industry Day event to inform potential offerors about the upcoming Nuclear Stores Interface Unit (NSIU). This event will serve as one of the activities used to solicit industry feedback and provide awareness of the program as the Government develops the NSIU production acquisition strategy and acquisition-related documentation. The Industry Day event will be held in advance of any anticipated draft solicitation or Request for Proposal (RFP) release. Industry Day attendance is not mandatory, nor will it limit any member of Industry from participating in any resultant acquisition. The purpose of this announcement is for information and planning purposes only; it does not constitute a solicitation or an RFP nor is it a promise to issue such a solicitation or an RFP in the future. BACKGROUND: The NSIU is a follow-on production contract to the current and on-going Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) effort. The EMD contract was awarded in 2022 and is currently due to complete EMD in 2027. REQUIREMENT: The NSIU is a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) providing an electronic interface to allow communication between the aircraft platform and store.

GENERAL INFORMATION: The Industry Day provides AFNWC/NDB an opportunity to communicate directly with interested vendors, outline government requirements and gain insight into the industries' capabilities. During this industry day we will have briefings and Industry Engagements/One-on-Ones. The intent is to execute an in-person event.
