- Description
- NASA/ARC plans to issue a DRAFT Request for Proposal (RFP) for support anddevelopment of the Airspace Concepts Evaluation System (ACES) fast time Air Trafficmanagement (ATM) simulation tool. NextGen-Airspace project is conducting research intoadvanced ATM concepts in order to increase the capacity and efficiency of the NationAirspace System (NAS), and ACES is an important simulation tool supporting this research.The principal objectives of this research activity are two-fold: (1) to enhance andextend the system-wide modeling and simulation capability inherent in ACES to accommodatehigher fidelity analyses of NextGen air traffic management concepts and capabilitiescurrently undergoing research by the NextGen Airspace and NextGen Airportal projects; and(2) to integrate the concept models developed for ACES fully across all operational partsof the software. These operational concepts are:-Traffic flow management (TFM) operational concepts-Separation Assurance (SA) operational concepts-Dynamic Airspace Configuration (DAC) operational concepts-Airspace Super Density Operations (ASDO) operational conceptsSupporting objectives are to:-Transition ACES to a new architecture, which is currently in prototype, tosupport modeling evolution and decomposition commensurate with NextGen concepts, whichNASA and others will pursue.-Enhance ACES flexibility, maintainability, and usability for an evolvinguser-base across a range of applications.-Provide software and model verification and validation studies.-Create new analytical output metrics.-Create new models for TFM, SA, DAC, and ASDO.-Integrate third-party models into ACES.-Develop pre- and post-processing tools for ACES data.-Develop custom models per researcher requirements.-Maintain the ACES software, including bug fixes, and periodic testing and releaseThis procurement is a follow-on requirement. The current contract is acost-plus-award-fee contract number NNA05BE01C with Raytheon Company. The current enddate of the contract is January 31, 2009 and the total contract value is $14M.Use thelinks at http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/FOIA/agency/ to request informationthrough the FOIA officeThe NAICS Code and Size Standard are 541712 and 1500 employees, respectively.The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note26. The anticipated release date of the DRAFT RFP NNA090248332R is on or about 10/15/2008with an anticipated proposal due date of on or about 01/08/2008.All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency.An ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B".The solicitation and any documents related to this procurement will be available over theInternet. These documents will reside on a World-Wide Web (WWW) server, which may beaccessed using a WWW browser application.
