- Description
- This represents a Notice of Contract Action (NOCA) that the Government intends to issue a competitive solicitation for the Battle Control System (BCS) - Fixed (Spiral 1) program, an open-architecture command and control system that will support strategic and tactical level battle management functions. The solicitation consists of a firm requirement for BCS-F and priced option, based on funds availability, for all other actions. The anticipated release of the solicitation is 16 December 2002. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and Pacific Command (PACOM) Air Defense Sectors (ADS) require an improved air sovereignty battle management system to: a) provide an enhanced CONUS, Alaskan Area of Operations (AOO) and Hawaiian AOO air picture that includes both perimeter and interior sensor and data feeds from military and civilian sources, and b) replace legacy Region Air Operations Center/Air Defense Sector (RAOC-ADS) Automated Data Processing (ADP) Systems to include the AN/FYQ-93, the AN/GSQ-235 ROCC - Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) Digital Information Link (RADIL) processor, the AN/FYQ-155, Advanced Interface Control Unit (AICU) processor, and the NORAD Contingency Suite (NCS). This effort is intended to provide surveillance and control of NORAD's and PACOM's AOOs (including Homeland Defense, which encompasses air sovereignty and aerospace defense missions, counter drug detection and monitoring operations), warning and assessment of aerospace attack, and response against air attack. The mission requirements are on a 24 hours/day, 365-days/year basis. BCS-F will process, integrate, display, and distribute data from sensors, data links, and other C2 agencies to maintain situational awareness and support air interdiction operations. It is anticipated that the role of the BCS-F (Spiral 1) will be extended to place greater emphasis on the monitoring of domestic air traffic as a result of the terrorist attack on 11 September 2001. That extended mission and related requirements are not yet completely defined, thus the importance for the use of a Spiral Development process. There is a potential for spiral development of this system for use in mobile Control and Reporting Centers (CRCs) and in possible bi-national applications. The Contractor will use Government System Capabilities Document (SRD) requirements as referenced in the Statement of Objectives (SOO) to determine initial spares, support equipment and Operational and Maintenance Technical Data. Training for operators and maintainers will be required to include training courses and training materials. Training is required for pre-security accreditation as well as day-to-day operations. Reprocurement data will be included as an option to be exercised at the Government's discretion. Offerors will be required to have U.S citizen staff personnel with Secret clearances and classified facility and storage capability in accordance with the NISPOM (DOD 5520.22-M) by contract award. Participation on this contract will be limited to US firms only. An Acquisition Ombudsman, Colonel Jerry Corley, Director, Commander's Staff, has been appointed to hear concerns from offerors or potential offerors during proposal development. You should only contact the Ombudsman with issues or problems you cannot satisfactorily resolve with the program manager and/or contracting officer. The Ombudsman role is to hear concerns, issues, and recommendations and communicate these to the appropriate government personnel. The Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality if desired. The Ombudsman does not evaluate proposals or participate in source selections. You can contact the Ombudsman at (781) 377-5106. See Note 26.
