Description

1. The Director for U.S. Army Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness intends to award a follow-on software support contract for Automated Chemical Hazard Prediction Software for use at the seven US Army chemical agent storage sites. Commercial or non-developmental sources capable of meeting the CSEPP Automated Information System key performance parameters (KPPs) described in this announcement should respond to this announcement no later 4:00 PM EST, 25 May 2007 with the information requested in Pa ragraph 5 of this announcement. 2. The current software is a fully integrated emergency management system containing approximately 220,000 lines of Java/Javascript/JSP code, 170,000 lines of C++ code (in the hazard modeling components), and 110,000 lines of dynamically generated HTML cod e and formatting. The operating environment is Sun Solaris, Windows Server, or Redhat Enterprise Linux. The system architecture includes the Apache webserver, Tomcat application container, and the PostgreSQL database with PostGIS extensions. The softwar e is currently in use at the seven U.S. Army chemical weapons stockpile locations and surrounding state and local governments. The Government does not have unrestricted rights to the current software. Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) Hazard Assessment Plume Projection Model: " The model shall be accredited for use at the seven chemical stockpile sites, with accreditation by the Army Safety Office (through the Army Nuclear Chemical Agency) and the Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board. " Model methodology shall be fully compliant with requirements in DA Pamphlet 385-61 and DoD Instruction 5001.61. " The model shall be fully integratable with existing Army/CSEPP emergency response automation systems, including Work Plans, GIS, and local notification forms " The model run times shall meet the CSEPP requirements for notification times of 5-10 minutes (depending on site), which includes the hazard assessment and Protective Action Recommendation (par). " The model shall be capable of modeling all stockpile chemical warfare agents and potential release modes (spill, explosion, fire, stack release) " The Model shall be capable of predicting time-dependent chemical concentrations and concentration-time integrals (ie dosage), particularly Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGLs), and their accumulation times. " The model shall be fully integratable into existing real-time meteorological network at seven chemical depots, which includes multiple instrument/multiple level towers both on- and off-post, and National Weather Service forecast model output. Automated Information System: " Thin Client " Browser-based Workplan, Protective Action Recommendation, and Protective Action Decision functionality, status boards, and logs " Integrated hazard assessment plume projection model " Integrated browser-based mapping " Embedded training materials " Operated on multiple platforms (Sun Solaris on SPARC, Windows Server, and Linux. " Functional on Internet Explorer and Firefox Ability to maintain, modify and further develop the chemical hazard prediction automated information software system based upon identified deficiencies " Changes must be implemented without interruption of emergency management performance. " Ability to maintain the computational model to fix software defects, shortcomings, and other changes as required. Information Assurance " Comply with the Defense Information Technology Security Certification and Accreditation Process (DITSCAP) requirements. " Comply with Army regulation 25-2, Information Assurance Emergency Management Domain Experience " Ability to apply emergency management principals to the software development practice. " Experience with near-real time evacuation models, chemical dispersion models, and meteorlogical models " Knowledge and experience with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), Army regulation 50-6 and Department of the Army Pamphlet 50-6 3. The Director, US Army Chemical Stockpile Emergency Management requests that industry sources interested in participating in the follow-on software support contract for Chemical Hazard Prediction Automated Information Software System respond to this Gove rnment request with the following information: a. Name and location of the facility for the development and maintenance of the software system. b. Product designation and technical description. c. Product marketing literature. d. Certifications required in the KPP. e. Prior customers for the proposed product, including customer points-of-contact (names and telephone numbers). f. The Director Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness may request you to provide an oral presentation of your product, not to exceed 30 minutes, followed by a 30-minute question and answer session. The requested information should be submitted electronically in Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf). When printed onto single-sided letter-size sheets the submitted information should not exceed ten (10) sheets. The information should be forwarded elec tronically to- Mr. Darius Kwiedorowicz Automation Manager, CSEPP Darius.kwiedorowicz@apgea.army.mil 410.436.8829 FAX 410.436.3179 Or Mr. Kevin Kammerer Contracts Manager, CSEPP Kevin.kammerer@us.army.mil 410.436.7666
