Description

The Army Contracting Agency, Northern Region; Dugway Proving Ground, Utah Directorate of Contracting (hereinafter referred to as the Government) is seeking comments on a DRAFT Request for Proposal for a Test Documentation and Management Support Servi ces requirement to be performed at the West Desert Test Center (WDTC). The WDTC plans, conducts, evaluates, and reports on tests of military equipment; and tactics, techniques, and procedures associated with this equipment. WDTCs mission focuses on mili tary chemical / biological (CB) defense, smoke, and illumination systems; and related operational concepts. WDTC also plans, conducts, evaluates, and reports on non-CB testing for the Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies, such as munitio n system assessments. The WDTC regularly participates in the development and validation of technologies and methodologies to support assigned testing. The scope of effort involves supporting the WDTC test mission at the U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), Utah installation. The support involves (as associated with specific task orders) conducting technical studies associated with experimental design and statistical analysis, mathematical modeling, developing computer software applications, providing technical writing support, preparing test plans, preparing other documents associated with testing (e.g., environmental assessments), monitoring data acqu isition in the field, reducing and statistically analyzing data collected, preparing test reports, editing documents, preparing new documents and editing previously prepared Government documents in various stages of development, and preparing comments on G overnment documents. WDTC is currently fully certified under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001-2000 Quality Management System. WDTC is fully committed to this standard and continues working to stay fully compliant with the standard. This requires maintaining extensive oversight of the overall WDTC quality system. Because documents are one of WDTCs primary products, quality controls in the development of each document are critical to WDTCs success as an industry leader. It is imperative that WDT C effectively control all documents associated with our testing environment. Standing Operating Procedures (SOP), Test Operations Procedures (TOP), Division manuals, work instructions and all other test related documents must be secured and kept up to dat e. The ultimate contract will require the Contractor to play a significant role in the management of all WDTC controlled documents. The Contractor must have demonstrated experience in ISO 9001-2000 Quality Management Systems and an ability to manage docu mentation under the ISO 9000 standard. It is intent of the Government to issue a small business set-aside, cost plus fixed fee solicitation (W911S6-05-R-0004) for this requirement. The applicable NAICS code is 541710 (500 employees).
