- Description
- 17. SOURCES are SOUGHT to provide Research and Development (R&D) Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) for the AF Research Laboratory, Munitions Directorate, Advanced Guidance Division, Guidance Simulation Branch (AFRL/MNGG). Contract performance will include support in the areas of phenomenological modeling, advanced hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) digital simulation development, HIL test technology modeling, design, prototyping, fabrication and implementation including infrared, visible, LADAR and RF scene projection hardware, and HIL test planning, execution, and data analysis for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and other sponsors. This effort requires an in-depth knowledge of all aspects of HIL simulation design, development, validation, and utilization to support test development of guided munition systems and subsystems. It is anticipated that most work will be performed in the Kinetic Kill Vehicle HIL Simulator (KHILS) facility in building 13A at Eglin AFB, FL and the remainder in the contractor?s facility. Required DD Form 254 facility clearance level is "Secret". Based on past experience, this acquisition is expected to be unrestricted, except that it is limited to domestic sources (see numbered note 13). However, the Air Force reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside, or sole source, based on responses to this notice. Only one proposal may be submitted per prime contractor. It is anticipated that only one contract will be awarded, and award will be made without discussions, if possible. An Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity Task Order contract with labor hour rates and cost-reimbursable travel is anticipated. Anticipated period of performance is 5 years (featuring a 2-year base period with three 1-year options), beginning 1 Jan 05 if a new contractor is selected, which would allow for a 30-day overlap/training period. It is expected the contract will bear a maximum limitation of $49.9M, but that amount is not guaranteed. As this acquisition progresses, additional info, including the solicitation, (FA8651-05-R-0004) will be available at website www.eps.gov. The solicitation is expected to be placed on the eps website in the late Jul 04 time frame. Proposals are expected to be due approximately 30 Sep 04.
