Description

Sources Sought T-45 Physiological Episodes Root Cause Analytics Project (PERCAP), Phase II DISCLAIMER: THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. INTRODUCTION: The Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) Contracts Department, Orlando, Florida has a requirement to procure the services necessary to provide artificial intelligence based data analytic services for the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), PMA-273. NAVAIR has ongoing efforts to identify and address Physiological Episodes (PEs) involving T-45 aircrew. PEs occur when aircrew are physically impaired, experiencing decreased performance due to a variety of factors. This safety issue has senior leadership visibility and requires all options be explored to support the necessary actions to address PEs and determine root cause. NAVAIR lacked the capability to utilize machine/cognitive learning to conduct associative analysis and modeling (rather than traditional, rules based linear data modeling) of disparate and incomplete data sets (both structured and unstructured). To address these capability shortfalls and to apply machine/cognitive learning to the T-45 PE phenomenon, NAVAIR contracted to design and implement an example of an Associative Learning platform in NAVAIR spaces as a pilot program. This pilot effort is termed PERCAP Phase I, with services being performed by Intel Corporation of Santa Clara, CA under N6134017P0058, through September 2018. The PERCAP Phase I system is a completely stand-alone system (disconnected from any other systems or networks), and utilizes a set of static data sources, supplied by the Government. Additionally, the system hardware and software are hosted at a Government facility, and designed to be operated independently by Government or designated contractor personnel. The purpose of this Phase II effort is to build upon the existing PERCAP Phase I system, its results and data connections, by increasing the systems data ingestion size and types and to transition the system from a stand-alone environment to a networked environment. For additional information see Attachment (1) Statement of Work, Attachment (2) GFP List, and Attachment (3) Cyber Security Requirements for details. Anticipated Time Frame: Estimated delivery date for all required hardware after Award: 90 days (3 months) After contract award (ACW) Estimated completion of software design after Award: 270 days (9 months) ACW REQUIRED CAPABILITIES: 1. The interested party shall provide a response that demonstrates their capability to provide hardware IAW the following specific requirements: a. Ownership of delivered Hardware will be transferred to the US Government, and will be installed on-site (at NAS Patuxent River, MD) by the contractor. b. Hardware required to implement the solution must be able to be procured and installed (ready for installation/implementation of software solution) within 3 months after contract award. Hardware utilized in PERCAP I may be provided as GFE śas is, ť if desired (See Attachment (2)). c. Hardware shall be capable of supporting up to 4 TB of source data, as well as any metadata or new data sources created from said source data. d. Hardware shall be compatible with the physical space configuration outlined in Attachment (1), located in the Data Fusion lab, BLDG 2272, NAS Patuxent River, MD. e. Hardware shall be able to utilize a network architecture that is capable of meeting DoD cybersecurity requirements for connection to one or more US Government Wide Area Networks, such as NIPRNET, DREN, RDT and E, or NMCI. Additional Cyber Security requirements are provided in Attachment (3). 2. The interested party shall provide a response that demonstrates their capability to provide an installed software solution that can perform the following tasks: a. Software solution shall be compatible with ingestion of data stored in a variety of frameworks, such as Hadoop and Microsoft SQL Server 2008/2014. b. Accept/ingest structured and unstructured data, from disparate and/or incomplete data sets, in a variety of formats (e.g.,.DOC,.PDF,.XLS,.XML,.JPG,.PPT,.RDF,.CSV, binary), of up to 4 TB of source data. c. Utilize developed algorithms, and machine/cognitive/associative learning to: i. Identify, predict, and correct errors in source data, to include identification of conflicts, inconsistencies, and gaps in said data. ii. Develop associations/linkages between specific data attributes within, and between, each data source, with context and pattern recognition/correlation capability for linked attributes. iii. Incorporate design modifications to correct/normalize free text typographical errors. iv. Provide time reasonable responses to freeform and/or unplanned queries/hypothesis, as well as predictive modeling capabilities. Time reasonableness may be evaluated based on examples provided by the contractor of similar efforts and should provide significant time savings relative to estimates of the time required to produce similar results using traditional data analytics methods (e.g. manual data mining). d. Provide native data visualization and evaluation tools, for presentation of query and analysis results. e. Provide compatibility with external visualization tools through utilization of a Rest Application Programming Interface (API) or similar protocol. f. Software must be capable of being operated by trained Government personnel, without continuous help desk or contractor support, with training sufficient to perform query and visualization tasks, conduct general and specific data calls, and interpret/visualize results. ELGIBILITY: The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services, which has a small business size standard of $27.5M. The Product Service Code is predominately D318, which is for IT and Telecom-Integrated Hardware/Software/Services Solutions, Predominantly Services, and its associated Object Class Code is 23.3, which is for Communications, utilities and miscellaneous charges. Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to respond; however, each respondent must clearly identify its business size in its capabilities statement. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND SUBMISSION DETAILS (CAPABILITIES STATEMENT) Interested parties are requested to submit a capabilities statement of no more than ten pages in length in Times New Roman font of not less than 10 pitch in an electronic format that is compatible with Word 2010. All responses shall include Company Name, Company Address, Company Business Size, and at least two Points of Contact including name, phone number, and e-mail address.
