I. ANNOUNCEMENT: As previously stated in the March 20, 2015 FedBizOpps request for information (RFI), the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/U.S. Army Forces Strategic Command Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site (USASMDC/ARSTRAT RTS), the U.S. Army Garrison Kwajalein Atoll (USAG-KA), Installation Management Command (IMCOM), and the U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology (NETCOM) have a need for test/mission operations, installation management operations, and command, control, communications, computers information management (C4IM) services in support of the Department of Defense (DoD), Military Services, and Joint Forces, as well as commercial tests, as an activity of the DoD Major Range and Test Facilities Base (MRTFB); requirements functions include operations, maintenance, and improvement and modernization (O&M and I&M). As further elaborated below, the various DoD stakeholder commands have collectively determined that each will pursue its own acquisition strategy and resulting contract(s) in support of each's unique requirements, which will result in three separate acquisitions for test/mission, installation management, and C4IM operations, respectively. The responsible contracting activity point of contact (POC) for each functional area (and separate acquisition) are listed below: Test/Mission Operations: Army Contracting Command-Redstone (ACC-RSA), Willie Travis, Director, willie.a.travis.civ@mail.mil. Installation Management Operations: Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC), Gary George, Contracting Officer, gary.l.george4.civ@mail.mil. C4IM Services: Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Huachuca Division, Timothy Baker, Contracting Officer, timothy.p.baker3.civ@mail.mil. The functional areas (as shown in the published March 20, 2015 RFI) are described in greater detail below. Look to FedBizOpps for future announcements regarding each respective functional area. II. FUNCTIONAL AREAS: A. Test/Mission Operations: The USASMDC/ARSTRAT RTS MRTFB technical support services consist of research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) efforts for on-site and off-site engineering, technical support services, and materials required to operate, maintain, analyze, and modify the RTS instrumentation and related support systems. The USASMDC/ARSTRAT RTS instrumentation includes (but is not limited to) highly sophisticated one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art radar systems designed for collection of precise metric, imaging, and signature data; additional radar metric and impact location assets; telemetry data acquisition systems; and optics capabilities for highly accurate metrics, spectral characteristics, documentary video and photography, and scoring data. Further, these technical support services include: • Operation, maintenance, and modification of communications systems that provide secure and non-secure data, voice, timing, and control circuits for conducting test programs and space surveillance missions at USASMDC/ARSTRAT RTS, as well as routine administrative communication needs (note that this includes above baseline C4IM to include information assurance (IA) of these systems and networks); • Electro-magnetic frequency control, surveillance, and analysis; • Timing reference, synchronization, and control; • Photographic and video services; • Ordnance receipt, inventory, handling, and storage; • Communications Security (COMSEC) equipment receipt, inventory, and control; • Calibration, repair, and maintenance of Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE); • Mission planning and preparation to include evaluation of mission requirements, development of mission support plans and operational planning documents, preparation of operations schedules, and the adaptation of procedures as required to successfully support user requirements; • Design, implementation, testing, and documentation of hardware and software modifications to the instrumentation and technical support systems in order to maintain the state-of-the-art capability required by the complex RDT&E missions supported by USASMDC/ARSTRAT RTS; and • Operations, maintenance, and engineering services in support of USASMDC/ARSTRAT RTS. B. Installation Management Operations: Public Works: Provide sustainment, maintenance, repair, improvement, and minor construction of real property, roads, airfields, piers, and utilities located on the eleven-leased islands based on the annual Common Levels of Service (CLS) set by IMCOM in support of USAG-KA and its tenants.
