- Description
- Update: Comments to Draft RFP FA8620-04-R-3405 must be submitted electronically to Nancy.Williamson@Patrick.af.mil not later than close of business 16 January 2004. A bidders conference is tentatively scheduled for 23 January 2004. In the upcoming weeks, the Reconnaissance System Program Office (SPO) may post documents relating to the technical aspects of the US National Data Center (US NDC) To the PIXS website. Of the documents already posted, the following are for informational purposes when building proposals: 1) Global Association (GA) 2) NNSA Knowledge Base Contributors Guide 3) Integrating Research Results into the NNSA Knowledge Base In addition to these documents, the following website contains additional information that may be of assistance. http://www.css.gov/librarybox/idcdocs/idcdocs.html It should be noted that the Phase 3 effort will consist of: 1) Sustainment of the current operational system; 2) Tuning of geophysical parameters; 3) Integration of the NNSA Knowledge Base effort; and 4) Software development/enhancement. This is not a request for proposal submission. Comments to the draft RFP are due not later than close of business 16 January 2004. Disregard the Response Due Date below. In accordance with AFFARS 5305.204, foreign contractor participation will not be permitted at either the prime contractor, or subcontractor level. The point of contact for this announcement is Ms. Nancy Williamson, Contracting Officer, ASC/DET3, 1030 S. Highway A1A, Building 989, Patrick AFB, FL 32925-3002, (321) 494-1795. THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT INTEND TO PAY FOR THE INFORMATION SOLICITED IN THIS DRAFT RFP. For more information on 04R3405--NDC3 - US National Data Center (US NDC) Phase 3 please refer to http://www.pixs.wpafb.af.mil/pixslibr/04R3405/04R3405.aspical expertise is a requirement. 10. Work effort, to include sustainment and developmental work, to be performed by the contractor includes but is not limited to: 10.1 Tuning/optimization of software algorithms. Perhaps the most important part of this effort will be the tuning of the signal detector, screening, and event formation algorithms. 10.2 Expansion of the current Knowledge Base. This effort will expand the depth and breadth of current geophysical knowledge and iterations of parametric data, to include the additional optimization and tuning of such parametric data by professional geophysicists. 10.3 Persistent, Shared, Processing Parameters and Recipes. Data processing parameter and recipe files shall be moved into the database and become dynamic. 10.4 Expansion of Spotlight Processing. Geographically focused data processing on an expanding number of areas with lower detection thresholds and more sophisticated data processing. 10.5 Feature Extraction. Numerous upgrades are required to improve both automatic and interactive signal processing. Examples include: enhancements to frequency-wavenumber estimation to reduce the rate of false rejection of valid signals, new types of measurements for magnitude and classification, expansion of the filter library, and signal separation. 10.6 Moving initial phase identification from station processing to network processing. 10.7 Association. Detected signals are associated into common events. Improvement areas have been identified in terms of making the network definition more dynamic and improving the sophistication of the logic in the event formation process. 10.8 Magnitude. Improvement areas have been identified for automated and interactive coda magnitude, as well as the integration of unique path and frequency dependent attenuation models. 10.9 Teaming for integration of third party efforts. Various Air Force partners, consisting of the National Nuclear Security Administration, the Air Force laboratories, and government contractors, are involved in numerous areas of US NDC development. Some examples of these areas: portions of the Knowledge Base, event classification methodology, and the Geographical Information System (GIS). The contractor will be responsible to team with these Air Force partners and integrate their products into the US NDC. The contract will contain a requirement for the contractor to establish Associate Contractor Agreements with the other government contractors to facilitate accomplishment of this tasking. 10.10 Interactive analysis. All functionality added to automated processing must be integrated into interactive analysis. The interactive software currently lacks a universal "undo" and/or "revert to previous" functionality – the implementation of which may involve fairly fundamental changes to the software infrastructure and design. 10.11 Data services. Tasks for improvements to data services include adding primary/secondary sources of data acquisition for certain stations, adding automatic data request management software to the US NDC (currently resides on a separate local area network (LAN)), and adding various improvements to existing software in the area of performance monitoring. 10.12 Hardware refresh. 11. Schedule. The contractor shall provide operation and sustainment of the current system on a fiscal year (FY) basis beginning in late FY04 and continuing through FY09. Deliveries of spirals of development and integration of system upgrades shall be in accordance with the schedule proposed by the selected contractor but must be completed not later than the third quarter of FY09. 12. All personnel performing on the contract must have a Secret clearance, and all key personnel must have a Top Secret Secure Compartmented Information (SCI) clearance. 13. No foreign contractor participation will be permitted at either the prime contractor or subcontractor level. 14. Proposals and Award. Written proposals will be evaluated and a best value decision made using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and FAR Supplement Subpart 15.3, Source Selection, procedures. Anticipated award date: Jul 2004. 15. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which shall be considered by the Government. 16. This procurement is unrestricted. 17. An industry day is planned. Date/time/location will be announced at a later date. Contact Information: Ms. Nancy Williamson, Contracting Officer, ASC/RAKPM, 321.757.1795, e-mail: nancy.williamson@ patrick.af.mil.
