- Description
- SPAWARSYSCEN, Charleston is soliciting information from potential sources for Program Management Support (10% of estimated level of effort), Systems Engineering Support (25% of estimated level of effort), Integrated Logistics Support (25% of estimated level of effort), Configuration and Data Management Support (20% of estimated level of effort), Direct Customer Support (10% of estimated level of effort), and Security Engineering Support (10% of estimated level of effort) for several Department of the Navy (DON) C4ISR systems and other Government Command and Control Networks. The Systems Engineering and Integration Division, Code 63 desires to engage in a contractual relationship with a commercial organization that possesses demonstrated experience in successfully implementing and managing best industry practices in the areas of Program Management Support, Systems Engineering Support, Integrated Logistics Support, Configuration and Data Management Support, Direct Customer Support, and Security Engineering Support. The challenges of this contract include integrating best commercial business practices into the U.S. Government's work processes and providing a wide range of support for various C4ISR and C2 systems in several locations. The desired contractual relationship will engage a commercial entity that has successfully integrated these processes into Government or large industry. The commercial entity will also possess well-formulated, proven concepts on how to implement these processes into Government while reducing the costs of the processes. To prevent engaging a company, which would have to learn on the job through trial and error, the Government will not enter into a contractual relationship with an entity that does not have this experience. The successful contractor must be experienced and innovative. The Division's goal is to partner with industry to set a standard for how Government should be doing business. The contractor shall provide world-class technical, engineering and logistics operations support services for Code 63 with the goal of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the Division while finding innovative ways to reduce the costs of those operations. The intent of this effort is for the contractor to identify, develop, and perform industry best practice support efforts within the Division. Under this contract, the varying engineering and support practices of different DON entities and multiple levels of information from disparate geographical locations shall be consolidated into standard engineering and support practices to form a coherent solution within and across the Division. The current Code 63 business base to be supported under this contract consists of, but is not limited to, Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Navy (DoN), Foreign Military Sales (FMS), Department of Justice (D0J) Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Homeland Security (HLS), and other inter-agency programs. Code 63's engineering and support services consist of six broad categories. These categories are: Program Management Support, Systems Engineering Support, Integrated Logistics Support, Configuration and Data Management Support, Direct Customer Support, and Security Engineering Support. Program Management Support is to be provided to the other five areas and includes but is not limited to providing and/or developing and/or maintaining of Executive Level Briefings, Integrated Milestone Information, Program/Project Planning, Scheduling and Trend Analysis, Cost Estimates and Projections, Hardware and Equipment Procurement and Website Development/Maintenance.

This notice is for planning purposes only. It is anticipated that a solicitation will be issued for an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Performance-Based Services Acquisition (PBSA) type contract, with task orders. Firms are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures and references to support that they possess the required specialized experience in the categories/sub-categories noted above with capabilities necessary to meet or exceed stated requirements.
