Description

This pre-solicitation notice is being issued to communicate the Government's intent to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) in accordance with FAR Part 15 for Full and Open Competition for the Development and Production of Standard Missile-3 Block IIB, or SM-3 IIB Interceptors. For planning purposes only, the Government anticipates the product development contract award in 1st quarter, FY14. At this time there are no anticipated partial or total set-asides for this acquisition. The Agency anticipates a single award. The Missile Defense Agency is responsible for developing a Ballistic Missile Defense System; integrating land, sea, air, and space based assets to defend the United States, friends, and allies, and deployed forces from ballistic missile attack. The SM-3 IIB is a key element to expanding the battle space by adding an additional layer to our homeland defense against Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM). The goals of the program are to develop an operational, hit-to-kill missile fielded in the 2020 timeframe to counter first generation ICBMs targeted at the U. S. Homeland early in their flight. It will serve as the first tier of the layered defense of the U.S. Homeland. The SM-3 Block IIB missile will also provide a large defended area against regional, intermediate range ballistic missiles. The SM-3 IIB will be integrated into the Aegis Weapon System, using Aegis BMD 5.1 and the Mk 41 Vertical Launching System as a point of departure. The SM-3 IIB will be launched using Engage on Remote data, leveraging the BMD distributed sensor architecture and Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (C4ISR) network of 2020. The SM-3 IIB is targeted for incorporation into Phase 4 of the President's Phased Adaptive Approach. The successful offeror will need to demonstrate prime contractor experience in designing, developing, and manufacturing state-of-the-art ballistic missile defense interceptors, experience in land and/or sea-based interceptor system integration, and demonstrated interceptor production capability. TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA: The following criteria have been developed to guide prospective offerors as to the priorities applied to evaluation of future technical proposals. These criteria are preliminary and may be modified prior to release of the final solicitation. 1. ICBM Defense Performance* 1.1. Defended Area of U.S. Homeland 1.2. Launch Area Denied 1.3. Level of protection 1.4. Maximize Government defined Phased Adaptive Approach Phase 4 operational architecture 1.5. Maximize reliability * See paragraph CLASSIFIED ATTACHMENTS below, which describes how to request additional information. 2. Minimized Life Cycle Cost 1.1. Minimize modifications to Aegis Combat System 1.2. Simplicity of design for operations and sustainment 1.3. Minimize unit cost 1.4. Minimize fleet management cost of ICBM interceptors 3. Schedule Realism As in all source selections, the Government will evaluate Technical, Management, Past Performance and Cost proposals. FUTURE UPDATES: This pre-solicitation notification as well as any subsequent procurement notifications will be posted on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website at https://www.fbo.gov/. All interested offerors are encouraged to register at this website to receive email notifications when information related to this acquisition is updated or documents related to this acquisition are issued and available for download. The Government requests that all interested parties ensure they are listed on the "Interested Vendors List" in FBO. As a rule, the MDA will not send notifications directly to interested offerors and it is in the interested offeror's best interest to periodically check this website for updates. Please submit all questions to joy.smith@mda.mil and jennifer.brooks@mda.mil. All answers will be made publicly available. CLASSIFIED ATTACHMENTS: Government information protection instructions will be included in a DD Form 254 that will be issued with the classified attachments.
