- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. This sources sought is issued by the National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC) solely for information and planning purposes; it does not constitute a formal solicitation, Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue a formal solicitation, RFP or Broad Area Announcement (BAA). Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay any cost incurred in response to this sources sought and all costs associated with responding will be solely at the interested parties expense. Not responding to this sources sought does not preclude participation in any future and potential solicitation, or RFP. It is the intent of NGIC to use this for market research purposes only. If a formal solicitation is released, it will be issued via the Federal Business Opportunities (http: //www.fbo.gov). It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor this website for any information that may pertain to this sources sought. The information provided in this sources sought is subject to change and is not binding on the Government. This requirement is for offsite and onsite technical support to the NGIC Signatures Division in its Measurement And Signature Intelligence (MASINT) areas of responsibility: collection, modeling, processing, analyzing, and dissemination of signatures. The Signatures Division produces and analyzes collected data to determine the signatures of foreign materiel primarily in the infrared, radar, acoustic, infrasonic, magnetic, electromagnetic, and seismic spectrums/modalities. Computer Aided Design (CAD) modeling and predictive codes are also used as a source for determining signatures. Scientific and technical intelligence products are in the area of MASINT via ground systems, rotor systems, and munitions. The objective of this requirement is to procure support in three key areas. Staffing requires two Full Time Equivalent (FTE) covering the infrared and geophysical engineering support, another FTE covering the collection in electro-optic and geophysical (seismic, acoustics, magnetics, infrasonic, and electromagnetic emissions) collection, and a fourth FTE with responsibilities in CAD modeling and predictive codes in the infrared. Two additional personnel may be required to provide support in any of the above disciplines but mainly will provide support to Signatures Division in the functionality of web publisher, hardware/software interfacing, software programming, or engineering code programming. In order to support the NGICs MASINT mission, contracted personnel are expected to support the off-site remote data collection as well as the subsequent data processing, analysis, and dissemination at the NGIC facilities. NGICs MASINT collection mission is primarily performed at test ranges in the continental United States but may take place in countries that do not have well-developed medical facilities. Additionally, some collection activities require maneuvering over large vehicles while collecting measurements or documenting the target configuration and so the personnel assigned must be physically fit and in good health. Sources must be able to work at the TOP SECRET//Sensitive Compartmented Information level and must comply with security requirements as set forth in the Contract Security Classification Specification (DD Form 254). Submission Instructions: a. Interested parties are requested to respond to this sources sought inclusive of answers to the requested information listed above. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541712 - Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology) b. Responses shall be limited to 10 pages all-inclusive and submitted via email ONLY to Jessica Thomas, Contract Specialist at jessica.l.thomas2@us.army.mil. NGIC reserves the right to review late submissions but makes no guarantee to the order of or possibility for review of late submissions. c. Respondents shall provide responses in softcopy form (electronically) in Microsoft Word compatible format or PDF file ONLY and are due no later than 5:00 PM (local Eastern Time) on Wednesday, March 31, 2010. d. Proprietary information, if any, should be minimized and MUST BE CLEARLY MARKED and completely separated. Be advised that no submissions will be returned. e. Responses to this sources sought may be evaluated by Government technical experts. The program office has contracted for various non-government, scientific, engineering, technical and administrative staff support services, some of which require contractors to obtain access to proprietary information submitted by other contractors. All non-government contractor support personnel have signed and are bound by the appropriate non-disclosure agreements and organizational conflict of interest statements. The Government may also use these selected support contractor personnel as technical advisors in the evaluation of submissions. Non-government staff support personnel will not have access to RFI that may be labeled by the offerors as Government Access Only. f. This notice is for market research and planning purpose only and does not commit the Government to any contractual agreement. This is not a request for proposal. The Government does not intend to award a contract based on responses under this announcement nor otherwise pay for preparing any information sent for the Government use. Any proprietary information should be so marked. Interested sources should provide the following: 1) company name and address; 2) point of contact; 3) phone/fax/email; 4) NAICS Codes, 5) business size and status, type of small business if applicable (e.g. 8(a), women-owned, HUB Zone Small Business, etc.) 6) capability information in response to the requirement.
