- Description
- The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) conducts research in the fields of astronomy and astrophysics, solar terrestial physics, and atmospheric science of both the earth and other planets in the solar system. Satellites, rockets and ground-based facilities are used to study the behavior of the ionosphere and the upper, middle, and lower atmospheres. In order to carry out such investigations, research and development is needed for satellite instrumentation, data analysis, remote sensing methods, first principles modeling of atmospheric processes, supporting calibration/validation activities, and supporting missile defense modeling and simulation systems development. This requirement is to provide R&D expertise for experimental and theoretical support to NRL projects using on-site and off-site personnel. Experiment support includes calibration, upgrades, repairs, refurbishments, and flat fielding of optical systems. Theoretical support includes modeling of processes in the middle and upper atmospheres, development and application of remote sensing techniques (from microwave to far ultraviolet wavelengths), data analysis (solar and terrestial), and investigations of signals utilizing trans ionospheric propagation models. Support will also address missile defense high-fidelity modeling and simulation through requirements management systems analysis, testing, and user support. A complete Statement of Work (SOW) will be available as part of the solicitation. It is anticipated that a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) contract will be made as a result of this solicitation. The period of performance for this effort will be a base year of twelve months, with four one year options. The anticipated level of effort is 8,300 hours for the base year and 8,300 hours for each option, if exercised. NRL uses Electronic Commerce (EC) to issue Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and amendments to RFPs. Paper copies of the RFP will not be provided. The actual closing date for proposals will be stated in the solicitation when issued. The incumbent contractor is Computational Physics Inc., 8001 Braddock Road, Suite 210, Springfield, VA 22151. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Other business opportunities for NRL are available at our website Http://heron.nrl.navy.mil/contracts/rfplist.htm. The Government does not intend to use FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items.
