- Description
- As part of its mission, the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) has a continuing need for the conduct of experiments in support of basic research, applied research, and analyses as related to weapons, munitions, materials, manufacturing processes, and sur vivability/lethality of Army personnel and materiel. It is necessary to obtain a wide variety of technical data on both new concepts and improvements to existing systems. It is also necessary to efficiently obtain critical technical data in support of eff orts to solve identified problems with fielded systems. Additionally, data are required to support ARLs mission of advancing and validating predictive capabilities in support of both survivability/lethality analyses and physics-based weapons performance simulations. To obtain these data, ARL is required to conduct both traditional standard tests and state-of-the-art non-standard experiments as well as develop new techniques for measuring critical data. Techniques vary in scale from laboratory microscop y at the molecular dimensions to field experiments on full-up systems. Experimental programs and support requirements may extend for years in duration or may only last for days or weeks. The objective of this contract is to provide scientific, engineerin g, and analysis support for various programs conducted by the Army Research Laboratory. Specific efforts may include but are not limited to: basic and applied research and exploratory development; technical data analysis; perform modeling and simulation; prepare technical presentations; write technical reports; make presentations to conferences, ARL customers, and ARL stakeholders; assist in preparing technical proposals; coordinate workshops, tours, and other special events; track technical and programmat ic requirements. Some contractual work may take place in support of ARL experiments conducted at facilities not located at APG but which support the ARL mission. Support will be in the technical areas of: energetic materials, electronic circuitry, surviv ability/lethality analysis, armor technology, robotics, electromagnetic gun and electromagnetic armor, materials and manufacturing science, warhead design and analysis, terminal effect research. The anticipated contract type is Indefinite Delivery I ndefinite Quantity (IDIQ) under which delivery orders will be issued primarily on a cost plus fixed fee basis. The following labor categories are anticipated to be utilized for task orders issued under this contract: Senior Scientist I, Senior Scientist I I, Senior Scientist III, Senior Scientist IV, Senior Scientist V. The period of performance is 5 years with an estimated contract ceiling of $16,000,000. This is a follow-on to Contract DAAD17-02-C-0071 with Dynamic Science Incorporated, of Phoenix, AZ. This acquisition is a competitive Section 8a Set-Aside. Interested parties are advised that there will be no paper copies of the solicitation issued. The solicitation will be made available on-line at http://www2.fbo.gov/index.html, and solicit ation amendments, if any, will also be found at the same location. Offerors are responsible for checking the website to ensure they have latest information available concerning this acquisition. The North American Industrial Code (NAIC) for this acquisit ion is 541712 R&D for Physical, Engineering and Life Sciences with a size standard of 500 employees. All personnel must be able to obtain a favorable interim security clearance, and ultimately obtain a Secret Clearance. The successful offeror mu st have a facility clearance up to Secret level in order to administratively process and obtain clearances for personnel. The entity must also have an effective alcohol and drug free workforce training program, and yearly training in Safety and Security r elated matters. Only 8(a) sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. The primary place of performance is US Army Rese arch Laboratory Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21005-5001
