A -- ENGINEERING AND ANALYTICAL SUPPORT SOL N61331-95-R-0027 DUE 041395 POC John Miller, Contract Specialist, (904)235-5399 Carol A. Dreger, Contracting Officer, (904)234-4863. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Coastal Systems Station, Panama City, Florida, is soliciting Analysis and Technology, Inc. on a sole source basis to provide the continued engineering and analytical support to develop Operational Requirements Documents (ORD) and Cost and Operational Effectiveness Analyses (COEAs) associated with the Improved Submarine Launched Mobile Mine (ISLMM) and the Littoral Sea Mine programs in order to meet Milestone 0 (Concept Studies Approval) and Milestone 1 (Concept Demonstration Approval) decision requirements. This effort entails developing notional minefields for various regional conflicts using potential new mine concepts, determining measures of effectiveness for those minefields, evaluating the performance of new mine concepts, rating new concepts against one another and against existing mine systems, and preparing reports detailing the analytical results. Analysis and Technology, Inc. is uniquely qualified for this effort having had in-depth involvement in developing preliminary program ORDs, COEAs, and other system documentation for these mine warfare programs for CSS under a previous contract. Under this effort, considerable resources and knowledge have been developed by Analysis and Technology, Inc. in the area of mine warfare technologies, the evaluation of mine concepts, and the development of engineering and analytical methodologies which could not be replicated by another activity without significant duplication of cost and delay in start up. The proposed acquisition is for a follow-on contract for the continued provision of highly specialized services within the definition of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii). Analysis and Technology, Inc. is uniquely qualified to support the ILSMM and the Littoral Sea Mine programs because they have the unique knowledge base, the facilities, and the experienced personnel necessary to successfully conduct the work. The key personnel have invested significant time in gaining the unique knowledge, insight, and skills necessary. Based on continuous monitoring of the industry base, no other single contractor could provide the capabilities sufficient to press the advances required for this effort without significantly and substantially duplicating invested costs as well as encountering a costly and protracted startup phase. Note 22 applies. (0053)
