- Description
- The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Research and Development Center (RDC) intends to release a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an engineering/professional services contract to support its requirement to continue the development of, and maintain the operational capability of, a Nationwide Automated Identification System (NAIS). The RDC is organizationally aligned under the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Program Office (CG-926) in the Acquisition Directorate (CG-9). The RDC is a strategic USCG resource and the sole CG facility performing RDT&E in support of the major missions of Maritime Law Enforcement, Maritime Safety, Marine Environmental Protection and National Security. Past NAIS research has produced an operating network consisting of remote equipment installations, software, analysis and data access methods that need to be expanded to meet USCG operational needs. The RDC's previous work resulted in the development of the USCG NAIS Interim Receive (IR) System. The USCG's ongoing acquisition of expanded NAIS reception and transmit capabilities is designated as NAIS Permanent Transceive (PT) System. This expansion includes the transfer of capabilities and responsibilities to USCG operators and facilities outside of the research program. Final expansion of NAIS is designated as the Long Range Receive (LRR) System. In support of the NAIS program, the RDC is responsible for: continued development and maintenance of the NAIS software used in both the Interim and PT Systems; documentation for future support of the software outside of the research program; and, assessment of the NAIS network surveillance performance. Task Orders issued under this contract will involve, but are not limited to, complex analyses that require multidisciplinary technical integration of expertise in the following areas: multi-protocol network systems, basic and advanced computer programming, system maintenance, advanced system and data analysis, radio frequency (RF) engineering, and integration of real-time network operations with newly developed software and hardware systems. This procurement is being solicited based on full and open competition. It is anticipated that the solicitation will result in a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), single award Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Performance Based Service Contract (PBSC). The resultant contract will have a five-year period of performance. It is anticipated that award will be made on initial offers. Offers will be evaluated on the basis of best value, and award will be made to the responsive/responsible offeror who provides the greatest overall value to the Government based on the technical proposal, and other factors. Technical proposals will consist of Technical Understanding, Management Approach, Staffing, Corporate Experience and Past Performance. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541512; Small Business Size Standard is $25.5 M. To be eligible for award, offerors must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be available at the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website accessible at www.fbo.gov on or about July 16th, 2013. Proposals will be due 30 days after solicitation. To find notifications at FedBizOpps, offerors should select Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard, Research and Development Center, New London CT. Paper copies of the solicitation will not be issued.
