- Description
- N61331-09-R-0002 replaces N61331-08-R-0043 (cancelled on 15 October 2008). This synopsis for N61331-09-R-0002 incorporates the N61331-08-R-0043 synopsis and all appropriate synopsis modifications pertaining to the original synopsis, and provides additional information. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division, Panama City, FL (NSWC PCD) will be requesting proposals under full and open competition procurement to perform System Development and Demonstration (SD&D) of the Surface Mine Countermeasure Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (SMCM UUV). The SMCM UUV is being developed to provide the Fleet Mine Warfare Commander with enhanced minehunting capability and to support battlespace awareness of the undersea environment. The SMCM UUV is envisioned to be a Mine Countermeasure (MCM) asset that will support minehunting operations aboard the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) and other Craft of Opportunity. The SMCM UUV vehicles will be capable of operating independently in shallow water regions of the ocean to search for volume, proud, and buried sea mines. The SD&D effort encompasses conduct of all analysis, system engineering and design, development, fabrication, assembly, testing, qualification, operator and maintenance training, documentatio! n, planning, and management required to support this effort. The proposed contract action shall also include all materials, software, and services necessary to ensure the successful performance of the responsibilities entailed in executing this program. During SD&D, the Contractor will be responsible for the following major efforts: Design, development, integration, test, and fabrication of Engineering Development Model (EDM) systems; Cooperative efforts with the LCS platform developers or integrators; Support of developmental testing; Technical documentation; Logistics support planning; Spares and support equipment; Interim support; Production of EDM systems to support the Operational Evaluation. The end product of this effort will be a fully tested and operational SMCM UUV system that meets or exceeds the requirements of the SMCM UUV System Performance Specification, with a design and Technical Data Package (TDP) suitable and qualified for production and operational use.! The specific objectives of the SD&D contract are to: a. Demonstrate system performance that meets or exceeds the threshold values as established in the System Performance Specification; b. Produce and demonstrate a final system configuration that is fully integrated and compatible with the LCS and other Craft of Opportunity platform(s); c. Produce a complete and accurate TDP including elements such as system design, Acquisition Logistics Support (ALS), training, operation, and maintenance; d. Provide support for demonstration of SMCM UUV system operational effectiveness and suitability. The desired date for the commencement of the SD&D phase is in the 3rd quarter of fiscal year 2009. Offerors on this program need to demonstrate: a. Recent, relevant experience and successful past performance in the engineering development of mine countermeasures systems or other relevant technologies, unmanned or autonomous vehicles development and integration, sonar and sensor systems, and ship systems integration. b. Recent, relevant experience and succes! sful past performance in the development of military weapon systems and documentation for fielded systems including logistics, training and system support. c. Capability and experience in successfully operating within an Integrated Process and Product Development (IPPD) environment which will incorporate structured use of joint Government and Contractor Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) from the program management level down through the working levels. d. Capabilities and relevant experience on unmanned vehicles in military applications, MCM systems, or in sensor systems operating in a shipboard environment (including systems installation on board military vessels). e. Facility and personnel security clearances at the SECRET level.
