Address: http://ccr.edi.disa.mil or 1-888-227-2423. The Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division has a requirement for untethered, unmanned, underwater Mine Countermeasures (MCM) systems that will support Search-Classify-Map (S-C-M) missions in the Very Shallow Water (VSW) zone (10 - 40 feet sea water (FSW)) and aid in refinement of the system performance requirements. The S-C-M mission will entail systematically reconnoitering throu gh predetermined geographic areas (notional 500 yd X 1000 yd) in the VSW zone and precisely mapping the bottom contour while providing for the classification of objects that exhibit mine-like characteristics. The system must be lightweight, two-person portable with a small shipboard footprint and able to be deployed/recovered from a small inflatable craft. The vehicle will need to possess mobile ingress/egress capabilities to enable it to move from a launch point of up to 5 NM from the S-C-M area and return to a point at least 5 NM from the operational area. While the system is primarily intended to search the VSW zone (10-40 FSW), it must be capable of performing mapping and object classification in water depths up to 60 FSW. Data recorded by the vehicle must be transferable to compatible Navy tactical displays and information systems to facilitate the re-acquisition of targ ets during subsequent missions. The production portion of the contract shall encompass hardware systems and technical/logistic support documentation. The quantity of hardware systems envisioned to be procured under the contract is between 5 and 12 systems (each system consisting of two to three vehicles plus all auxiliary equipment and software required to operate the vehicles. The contracting approach will involve the issue of a RFP, proposal submission by all interested vendors, and a three-phased selection process leading to contract award. Phase I is to determine if the prospective vendors submitted a complete response to the RFP by providing all the information requested. Only those prospective vendors that submit all of the required information proceed to the second phase. Phase II will consist of the desktop evaluation and ranking of all the paper proposals receive d in accordance with the RFP. The highly qualified vendors are selected for Phase III. Phase III involves the table-top evaluation of sample prototype hardware and technical/logistic documentation and analysis of the proposed cost. The vendors are ranked and one or more are awarded a contract to provide a hardware prototype that meets the Performance Specification and the associated Technical/Logistic Documentation. This contract(s) also provide(s) for the procurement of Production Systems. The first phase of the contract involves delivery of the prototype and documentation followed by Requirements Compliance Testing (RCT) of the prototype hardware (one system consisting of one vehicle and ancillary hardware/software) and evaluation of the technical/logistic documentation. Technical experts in the laboratory and Fleet personnel in the operational environment will conduct t he RCT. The vendor(s) will be ranked and the one or two offerors with the highest overall ranking(s) will be awarded the production orders. This requirement is being conducted under full and open competition. Award is to be based on best value to the Government. The contract type will be firm-fixed-price, indefinite delivery indefinite quantity. The contract will be for a period of ten (10) years. The NAIC code is 334511 and the FSC code is 5895. Proposals submittal will be in strict accordance with instructions in Sections L and M of the solicitation. Electronic submittals through NEOC WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED as a responsive proposal.
