Eastern Request for Information (RFI): Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division (NSWC-CD) is issuing the Market Survey for determining industry capabilities and is soliciting information from potential sources to provide development, prototype, and test item delivery of a Combatant Craft Maritime Situational Awareness System in accordance with the enclosed DRAFT system requirements (Appendix 1). The Government desires to minimize the development time for this effort and is interested in mature systems (Technology Readiness Level (TRL)-7 and above) that meet or can be easily modified to meet the requirements outlined in Appendixes 1. Responses shall include a Corporate Description section and a Corporate Experience section as described below. Section 1: Corporate Description. Capability Responses must include all of the following information (2 page limit): (1) Name of Firm (2) State the respondent's size status and whether the respondent is registered in applicable NAICS code listed above. (3) Ownership, including whether: Small, Small Disadvantaged, 8(a), Woman-Owned, HUBZONE, Veteran Owned and/or Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Business. (4) Two points of contact, including: name, title, phone, and e-mail address (5) CAGE Code and DUNS Number (6) Affiliate information, including parent corporation, joint venture partners, potential teaming partners, prime contractor (if potential sub) or subcontractors (if potential prime). (7) A list of customers for current and relevant work performed. The purpose is to demonstrate the prime's management infrastructure, capacity to procure and manage a level of effort which may include, but is not limited to, teaming arrangements, joint ventures, etc. that correspond to the technical tasking, relevant experience, and past performance. Respondents shall submit at least 1, and no more than 5, citations of current and relevant work performed. a. Current work is defined as work performed within the 5 years before the posting date of this market survey. b. Common aspects of relevancy include similarity of technology development effort, as well as complexity, dollar value, contract type, and degree of subcontract/teaming. c. Each vendor shall provide Relevant Contract Experience in Technology Area: Mobile SIGINT solutions including software defined radio, antenna development, precision geo and direction finding technologies across a variety of threats, SIGINT fusion with other intelligence collection systems such as TTL, Special Communications, and Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS), and/or improved system network capabilities; which does not count toward the two page limit for this section. (8) A statement that the contractor either has or does not have an approved accounting system, as required in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.301-3(a)(3) for cost-reimbursement contracts. Section 2: Corporate Capabilities. Respondents shall summarize the work their company, employees or partnership has performed relevant to the planned requirement by demonstrating their experience/capabilities in regards to development, testing, and manufacture of situational awareness/radar warning systems. Responses shall be in regards to recent experience on efforts with systems meeting or exceeding the requirements listed in Appendix 1. Information that addresses the following should be included in this section (10 page limit): (1) Describe your recent experience in developing, testing, and manufacturing situational awareness systems meeting the requirements in Appendix 1. (2) Describe your recent experience in modifying and testing similar equipment currently in use on other military platforms to perform in a maritime environment (marinization). (3) Describe your recent experience in designing, modifying, and testing equipment to perform to specified signature (radar cross section, thermal) requirements. (4) Describe your recent experience in scaling or modifying your systems to meet the requirements of other platform installations (re-packaging). (5) Describe your recent experience in integrating situational awareness systems into military platforms. List the scope of the integration to include number of systems integrated to (breadth) and level of integration (depth), to include interface standards (e.g. IEEE-488, Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553, etc.). Recent experience with integration onto maritime platforms is desired. (6) Describe your recent experience in developing and delivering open architecture hardware and software solutions. Examples include standards such as VPX/OpenVPX for hardware and GNU Radio and REDHAWK for software. (7) Provide a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) and Delivery Schedule for the estimated quantity of systems identified. The Government estimated quantity is 40 prototype systems. All responses shall be UNCLASSIFIED. All assumptions, including any assumed Government support, shall be clearly identified. All proprietary and restricted information shall be clearly marked. All information marked as proprietary information will be safeguarded to prevent disclosures to non-government personnel and entities. Responses shall be prepared so that when printed, they meet the following requirements: 8.5x11 inch paper, single-spaced typed lines, 1 inch margins, 12 point Times New Roman font.
