I do not think the final ORD (Operational Requirements Document) is
out and I don't think there has been any announcement of when an RFP

what the MMA will be expected to do.

Actually, the program may be further along than you realize. When the
program office updated their web page in September, they had released a
draft ORD and were on schdule for DAB Milestone B review by the end of 2003,
with source selection scheduled for early 2004.

From this press release, the RFP apparently went out in late October.
