- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWPNS) seeks qualified vendors to provide products and modification of communication equipment for the Combat Environment Instrumentation Systems (CEIS) Integrated Product Team (IPT) at China Lake and Pt. Mugu, CA. The primary focus of this notice is to identify interested sources for information and planning purposes only. Potential sources need not show capability in all areas; if there is expertise in some areas, identify and concentrate on those areas. CEIS ground and airborne products include 1) Time-Space-Position-Information (TSPI) instrumentation, such as Advanced Range Data System (ARDS), Large Area Tracking Range (LATR) System, Common Range Integrated Instrumentation System (CRIIS), Tactical Combat Training System (TCTS), and Range Optical Instrumentation; 2) Advanced Ground Target/Threat System (AGTTS) for countermeasure development, testing, and evaluation; 3) manned and unmanned airborne participants; 4) network-centric systems and components; and 5) electronic countermeasures and warning systems, such as ALQ-214, and Joint and Allied Threat Awareness System (JATAS). Because of the interactive nature of the CEIS products and the thrust to emphasize commonality and joint interoperability across all Department of Defense (DOD) ranges, integration plays a key role in the projects executed by this IPT, it is critical for the contractor to not only have highly qualified employees, but also have the necessary infrastructure to procure and assume responsibility for major subsystems and components. The contractor shall design, develop, procure, fabricate, install, integrate, and test network-centric warfare equipment and/or systems designed to provide a dense, realistic, electromagnetic environment to be used by the defense community for weapon systems development, test and evaluation, test and evaluation of defense suppression systems, electronic warfare (EW) systems, electronic countermeasures (ECM) equipment, and electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) equipment. These efforts will include fixed and moving ground, sea, and air targets, multi-lateration and Global Positioning System (GPS)-based instrumentation pods; threat presentation and suppression; integrated hardware/software EW systems; and hostile equipment modeling. The contractor shall install and integrate the systems and equipment on T&E ranges and training ranges. The contractor shall provide logistics and engineering support, including in-plant and on-site diagnosis and repair of GPS-based range instrumentation equipment (GPS-BRIE). The contractor shall provide logistics and engineering support to the transition from ARDS to CRIIS effort, and from LATR to the Tactical Combat Training System (TCTS) effort. The contractor shall support CEIS ™s embedded system upgrades and obsolete technology analysis and replacement. The contractor shall provide training; configuration management; program management; and website/database management and maintenance. The contractor shall design, develop, build, and test threat/target equipment in support of test and evaluation, and training ranges (United States and authorized foreign ranges). Level of facility clearance required: SECRET. Level of safeguarding required: SECRET. A draft Statement of Work is being developed, but current task order Performance Work Statements are available upon request by contacting Erin Strand, Contract Specialist, at erin.strand@navy.mil. Currently work in support of LATR, Optical Tracking System, and EW Warning System is being supported by L-3 Communications (N68936-10-D-0036); work in support of ARDS TSPI pods and instrumentation is being supported by Tybrin (N68936-10-D-0034); and work in support of AGTTS is being supported by Lockheed Martin (N68936-10-D-0035). If a contract is awarded for this effort, the Government anticipates a multiple award contract (MAC) using indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ).
