Synopsis Number 0115-95--Sources are sought for providing and maintaining on a continuous basis, an operational non-coorperative radar Doppler scoring capability to provide bullet counting and miss distance indication as required for both sub-sonic and super-sonic projectiles fired against sub-scale drones, small scale drones, and towable aerial targets used in test and evaluation and training for Air Defense Missile Systems. Engineering Services to design, fabricate, and test scoring devices for new targets that come on line during the life of this contract is also a requirement. Prospective bidders must have experience in scoring support operations (and maintenance of scoring systems) and the capability to produce scoring systems (sensors, airbourne installation kits, ground stations, ground support equipment hardware and software, etc.). Any scoring devices (not currently used by the Army) must be performance tested (accurancy, scoring volume, closing velocities, multiple targets, frequency, and environmental) and certified by the contractor that it meets the technical requirements for that system. Any new equipment must also meet all EMI requirements as well as radio/telemetry frequency compatibility with operations at various government ranges. Prospective bidders must also be knowledgeable and compliant with local, state, and federal requirements in handling and disposal of environmentally sensitive products used to support this effort. A viable Pollution Prevention Program and Plan for this effort will be required for this effort. Prospective bidders must also have experience in design, fabrication, and testing of new scoring devices for upcoming targets. This effort, planned for FY97 with options for FY98 through FY01, will include the following: a. Scoring services are required at Fort Bliss, Texas; White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico; Holloman Air Force Base (HAFB), New Mexico; and various Posts, Camps and Stations (PCS) as required to support Active Army and Reserve Component training exercises, customer special test programs, and Foreign Military Sales customer requirements.
