PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Air Force Research Laboratory, Munitions Directorate is soliciting technical and cost proposals on the following research effort: Sub-millimeter Wave Imaging Fuze Technology (SWIFT). It is anticipated one contractor's proposal will be selected for award of one Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. However, the Government reserves the right to award one, multiple or no contracts pursuant to this BAA. 1. Statement of Objective/Needs: The main objective of this effort is to demonstrate the feasibility and potential application of active imaging sub-millimeter wave RF fuze sensors for use on air-launched munitions. SWIFT intends to explore the benefits of increased resolution and smaller hardware by operating at sub-millimeter wavelengths. At a minimum, potential solutions to this technology need to include a breadboard sensor capable of operation at sub-millimeter wave frequencies. In order to demonstrate the SWIFT technology, a successful offeror would: a. (TO 0001) Design, build, and demonstrate a breadboard sub-millimeter wave active imaging fuze radar. b. (TO 0002) Collect calibrated data of targets and/or clutter using the breadboard sub-millimeter wave imaging fuze radar. c. (TO 0003) Use data from Task 2 to validate synthetic RF scene generation tools at the sub-millimeter wave design frequency and to evaluate feasibility of advanced active imaging radar signal processing techniques. Specific information regarding requirements and task descriptions can be found in Annex 1 of this BAA. Offerors should forward their request for Annex 1 of this BAA to the Government in strict accordance with the requirements of Section I Part 5.f. 2. Deliverable Items: The following data submittals are expected to be included on the awarded contract. Requirement Title and Data Item Description (DID) are provided as follows: a. Monthly Status Reports (Status Report: DI-MGMT-80368A) b. Monthly Performance and Cost Report (Performance and Cost Report: DI-FNCL-80912) c. Project Planning Chart (Project Planning Chart: DI-MGMT-80507B) d. Program review agenda, charts, minutes, and presentation material (Presentation Material: DI-ADMN-81373) e.

Software (code, simulation modes/tools) developed or purchased under contract (Computer Software Product End Items: DI-MCCR-80700) i. Final technical report (Scientific and Technical Reports (Final Report): DI-MISC-80711A). The Final Report, which will be published in Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC), must document the entire effort and must include relevant data and results from other technical data that would not otherwise be published. j. The contractor may propose additional elements or submittal of combined elements or DIDs as appropriate for the proposed program k. In addition, the contractor shall deliver Hardware (breadboard sensor, mounting hardware, interface cards) developed or purchased under contract at the conclusion of the program 3. Meetings and Reviews: The Government anticipates the following program meetings and reviews: Kickoff within a month of contract start date at contractor's facilities; Technical Interchange Meetings once a quarter at the contractor's facilities; and a Final Program review at Eglin AFB FL. The contractor may propose to conduct or participate in other meetings with subcontractors, Government agencies, or third parties, as deemed necessary. 4. Schedule: The SWIFT contract is expected to last 30 months under Task 1 with an additional 12 months under Task 2 and 24 months under Task 3. If awarded (see paragraph II (a) below), Task 2 and 3 may run concurrently with Task 1, and the entire program is envisioned to be completed within 42 months. These timelines are recognized to be dependent on actual program progress made in earlier Task Orders and will be negotiated prior to Task Order award. 5. Other Requirements: a. Program security classification: It is expected that most of this program will be conducted at the UNCLASSIFIED level. However, a DD Form 254 will be required for the awarded contract. Offerors must verify their Cognizant Security Office information is current with Defense Security Service (DSS) at www.dss.mil. Based upon the proposed technical approach, the Government may provide a Security Classification Guide at contract award or during the performance of the contract. b. TEMPEST requirements: TEMPEST requirements do not apply to this program c. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Public Law 98-94 (export control) will apply to this effort. d. Certified DD Form 2345, Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement, is required to be submitted with the request for Annex 1 and the proposal. e. It is anticipated that all data delivered under any resulting award will be delivered with unlimited rights. However different rights may be negotiated as appropriate. The Government prefers the proposed SWIFT design include no parts, materials, methods, or software that are proprietary. Proposals shall identify any proprietary materials, products, software, or processes to be used by the prime or subcontractor(s) in the performance of this program, and shall address acquisition of data rights or licenses, or expected recoupment of development costs for those proprietary items that will be integral to the SWIFT design prior to contract award. f. Request for Annex 1: Contractors must obtain Annex 1, SWIFT Technical Data Package, by sending a written request with the following: i. Certified copy of a DD Form 2345, Military Critical Technical Data Agreement ii. Cognizant Defense Security Service office name and address iii. Facility Security Officer's name, phone, email and fax iv. Name, phone, email and fax of the person to receive the annex v. Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code vi. Approved mailing address Requests can either be mailed or faxed to Mr Robert Orgusaar and Lt Kurt Nakamura (see Section VII Part 2). After acceptance of these items, this data package may be obtained in person or via mail. Requests should be provided early enough to allow the Government 14 days to provide the document. The contractor must request release of export-controlled data related to the SWIFT program, and must identify an individual who will be responsible for controlling this data. No supplemental documentation will be provided unless requested in strict accordance with these instructions. g. Subcontracting Plans will be required in accordance with FAR 19.702 Statutory Requirements. 6. Other Information: a. Government Furnished Property (GFP) Availability: The Government may assist in providing GFP, based on availability, if requested. The offeror shall include a detailed list of Government resources, with their associated approximate value, required to execute a contract in a timely and cost effective manner. Additional resources and points of contact may be found in Annex 1. b. Contractors are encouraged to integrate their "front-end" radar design with Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake's Missile Engagement Simulation Arena (MESA) "back-end" signal modulator and data acquisition system. This has the potential to reduce radar development costs under Task 1. The decision to integrate hardware with MESA or design and fabricate a new, independent radar system is left to the contractor. However, the Government plans to use MESA in Task 2 and Task 3 as a test facility regardless of whether the contractor builds their own radar system or decides to integrate theirs with MESA's back-end hardware. More information can be found in Annex 1. c. Base Support/ Network Access: Base support and network access do not apply to this program. II. AWARD INFORMATION 1. Contract Type: The Government anticipates negotiating a single Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee type contract for this effort. It is expected that the SWIFT program will consist primarily of Task Order 0001. The Government expects to fund up to approximately $1.25M on the contract for TO 0001 (see paragraph II.b). However, an IDIQ contract will allow Task Order 0002 and 0003 to be awarded in order to accommodate incremental developments and additional funding, should it become available. Accordingly, it is anticipated the IDIQ contract will bear a ceiling amount of approximately $3M. 2. Anticipated Funding: The Government expects to fund up to approximately $1.25M for TO 0001. This figure includes approximately $420K, $450K, $277K, and $104K in each of FY09-FY12, respectively. This funding profile is an estimate only and will not be a contractual obligation for funding. All funding is subject to change due to government discretion and availability. All potential offerors should be aware that due to unanticipated budget fluctuations, funding in any or all areas may change with little or no notice. The ceiling maximum for the IDIQ contract will be approximately $3 million in order to accommodate incremental developments and additional funding, should it become available. The guaranteed minimum order quantity will be the value of TO 0001. 3. Anticipated Number of Awards: The Government anticipates awarding a single contract for the entire effort. However, the Government reserves the right to award one, multiple, or no contracts pursuant to this BAA. 4. Anticipated Award Date: 17 July 2009 5. Anticipated Period of Performance: The baseline IDIQ SWIFT program contract ordering period will be 5 years in order to allow for the addition of in-scope tasks and incremental developments and additional funding, should it become available. Task 1 is anticipated to take approximately 30 months. Task 2 is anticipated to take approximately 12 months, and Task 3 approximately 24 months should additional funding become available. If awarded, Task 2 and 3 may run concurrently with Task 1, and the entire program is envisioned to be completed within 42 months. These timelines are recognized to be dependent on actual program progress made in earlier Task Orders and will be negotiated prior to Task Order award. The period of technical performance encompasses the entire program minus the last three months needed to deliver the Final Technical Report. III. ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION 1.

Support Contractors: Only Government employees will evaluate the proposals for selection. AFRL/RW has contracted for various business and staff support services, some of which require contractors to obtain administrative access to proprietary information submitted by other contractors. Administrative access is defined as "handling or having physical control over information for the sole purpose of accomplishing the administrative functions specified in the administrative support contract, which do not require the review, reading, or comprehension of the content of the information on the part of non-technical professionals assigned to accomplish the specified administrative tasks." These contractors have signed general non-disclosure agreements and organizational conflict of interest statements. The required administrative access will be granted to non-technical professionals. Examples of the administrative tasks performed include: a. Assembling and organizing information for R&D case files; b. Accessing library files for use by government personnel; and c. Handling and administration of proposals, contracts, contract funding and queries. Any objection to administrative access must be in writing to the Contracting Officer and shall include a detailed statement of the basis for the objection. 2. Communication: Dialogue between prospective offerors and Government representatives is encouraged until submission of proposals. Discussions with any of the points of contact shall not constitute a commitment by the Government to subsequently fund or award any proposed effort. Only Contracting Officers are legally authorized to commit the Government. 3. Debriefings: When requested, a debriefing will be provided. The debriefing process will follow the time guidelines set out in 10 USC 2305(b)(5), but the debriefing content may vary to be consistent with the procedures that govern BAAs (FAR 35.016). 4. Wide Area Work Flow Notice: Any contract award resulting from this announcement will contain the clause at DFARS 252.232-7003, Electronic Submission Of Payment Requests, which requires electronic submission of all payment requests. The clause cites three possible electronic formats through which to submit electronic payment requests. Effective 01 October 2006, the Department of Defense adopted Wide Area Work Flow-Receipt and Acceptance (WAWF-RA), as the electronic format for submission of electronic payment requests. Any contract resulting from this announcement will establish a requirement to use WAWF-RA for invoicing and receipt/acceptance, and provide coding instructions applicable to this contract. Contractors are encouraged to take advantage of available training (both web-based and through your cognizant DCMA office), and to register in the WAWF-RA system. Information regarding WAWF-RA, including the web-based training and registration, can be found at https://wawf.eb.mil/. Note: WAWF-RA requirement does not apply to Universities that are audited by an agency other than DCAA. 5. Item Identification and Valuation: Any contract award resulting from this announcement may contain the clause at DFARS 252.211-7003, Item Identification and Valuation, (Apr 2005) which requires unique item identification and valuation of any deliverable item for which the government's unit acquisition cost is $5,000 or more; subassemblies, components, and parts embedded within an item valued at $5,000 or more; or items for which the government's unit acquisition cost is less than $5,000 when determined necessary by the requiring activity for serially managed, mission essential, or controlled inventory. Also included are any DoD serially managed subassembly, component, or part embedded within a delivered item and the parent item that contains the embedded subassembly, component, or part. Per DFARS 211.274-3 policy for valuation, it is DoD policy that contractors shall be required to identify the government's unit acquisition cost for all items delivered, even if none of the criteria for placing a unique item identification mark applies. Therefore, your proposal must clearly break out the unit acquisition cost for any deliverable items. Per DFARS 211.274-3 policy for valuation, "the government's unit acquisition cost is the contractor's estimated fully burdened unit cost at time of delivery to the government for cost type or undefinitized line, subline, or exhibit line items" (per DoD, "fully burdened unit costs" to the government would include all direct, indirect, G&A costs, and an appropriate portion of fee.). If you have questions regarding the unique item identification requirements, please contact the contracting point of contact listed above. For more information, see the following website: http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/uid/. 6. Forward Pricing Rate Agreements: Offerors who have forward pricing rate agreements (FPRA's) should submit them with their proposal. 7. Excessive Pass-Through Charges: Any contract award resulting from this announcement may contain the clause at DFARS 252.215-7004, Excessive Pass-Through Charges, (Apr 2007) which requires the contractor to identify in its proposal the percentage of effort to be performed by the prime contractor and the percentage expected to be performed by each subcontractor. If the contractor intends to subcontract more than 70% of the total cost of work under the contract or task order, then it shall identify the amount of the contractor's indirect costs and profit applicable to the subcontract work, and a description of the value added by the contractor. If any subcontractor intends to subcontract to a lower tier subcontractor more than 70% of the total cost of its work, then it shall identify the amount of the subcontractor's indirect costs and profit applicable to the lower tier subcontract work, and a description of the value added by the subcontractor. 8. Post-Award Small Business Program Rerepresentation: As prescribed in FAR 19.308, FAR Clause 52.219-28, "Post-Award Small Business Program Rerepresentation (JUN 2007)," is incorporated by reference in this solicitation. This clause will be contained in any contracts resulting from this solicitation. This clause requires a contractor to rerepresent its size status when certain conditions apply. The clause provides detail on when the rerepresentation must be complete and what the contractor must do when a rerepresentation is required. 9. On-Line Representations and Certifications: Potential offerors are notified that to be eligible for an award, they must submit annual Electronic Representations and Certifications, otherwise known as On-line Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) via the Business Partner Network (BPN) at http://www.bpn.gov/orca. These FAR level representations and certifications are required in addition to the representations and certifications specific to this acquisition.
