- SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. This synopsis is being issued to conduct market research for small business only. This synopsis does not constitute a Request for Proposals (RFP) or an Invitation for Bids (IFB), nor does its issuance in any way restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition approach. The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this notice, nor will it reimburse the contractor for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice. The Mission Planning Systems Group, Battle Management Systems Wing, Electronic Systems Center (ESC), Hanscom Air Force Base, MA 01731, along with its partner organizations are seeking potential small business sources capable of software development, maintenance, and evolution for the DoD Mission Planning Enterprise. The enterprise encompasses partnering organizations in the US Air Force, Navy, Army, and SOCOM. The scope of the potential contract includes future mission planning software development, maintenance, and integration potentially for the next 4 years. These efforts may include, but are not limited to: 1. Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) Common Capabilities development, evolution, and maintenance. 2. JMPS Aircraft and Weapon Unique Planning Components (UPCs) development, evolution, and maintenance. 3. Evolution and maintenance of the JMPS framework. 4. Migration of aircraft and weapon platforms from legacy mission planning systems to JMPS. 5. Maintenance of legacy system software - core systems, installable software modules, and/or platform components. 6. Development and evolution of future mission planning systems. 7. Performance of mission planning and related C4I trade studies and/or prototyping. 8. Operator and developer training in support of the above. The purpose of this announcement is to help the Government identify potential offerors considered to be competitive as small business MPEC prime contractors for addition to the original group of MPEC awardees. If one or more additional small businesses are added to the contractor pool, the Government may consider small business set asides for future MPEC delivery orders under the existing MPEC contract. On November 4th, 2004, five awards were made to four large businesses and one small business, to share an overall ceiling of $2B over a 5-year period of performance. A management delivery order of $250k will be issued to each of the contractors to satisfy the minimum ordering requirement and perform various tasks associated with the participation in the contract. The Government requests interested companies to submit a statement of their qualifications with respect to the criteria below; including how your qualifications will be applied to the scope of the work identified above. Responses should include examples of similar efforts. 1. Expertise/experience working within the Mission Planning domain. 2. Possession of or have the ability to obtain an U.S. Top Secret/Special Access Required (TS/SAR) level facility security clearance. 3. Expertise/experience developing, integrating, and testing large, complex software-intensive systems. 4. Ability to obtain DoD security certifications and interoperability certifications. 5. Possession of current Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Capability Maturity Model (CMM) Level 3 (or higher) rating (staged representation) as assessed against the SEI CMM or equivalent model. The SEI Capability Maturity Model Integrated (CMMI) and the Software Development Capability Evaluation (SDCE) Model, and associated standard procedures for an independent assessment or appraisal, are example models considered by the Government to be equivalent to the SEI CMM. The Government requests interested small businesses submit a capability package (one soft copy and one hard copy) to the following address: Lt Col Ronald Hirtle, ESC/MPSG, 50 Griffiss Street, Hanscom AFB, MA 01731-1625, Ronald.Hirtle@hanscom.af.mil.

A source's capability package should clearly indicate the source's intent to be either a prime contractor or subcontractor. Sources interested only in subcontractor opportunities should briefly identify relevant experience and expertise in a two-page response. Names and points of contact from each potential subcontractor will be distributed to all interested sources. Sources should also indicate whether they are a small business, or whether they have any other socioeconomic preference outlined in the FAR. Sources are also requested to identify any on-going Government contract vehicles they may have for the same or similar work.
