A -- AIRCREW PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS SOL F33615-95-R-1752 DUE 081595 POC Stacey A. Siemer, WL/AAKD, (513) 255-2206. Wright Laboratory is interested in receiving proposals for the research effort described below. This solicitation and resulting award shall be made in accordance with the Research and Development Streamlined Contracting Procedures (RDSCP) described in DFARS 235.70. This is the solicitation, there will be no formal RFP or RFQ. The name, address and telephone number of the representative of the contracting officer for this solicitation is shown as POC above. This solicitation consists of this notice, any subsequent amendments, and a supplemental package which is available by writing to the above address. Offerors who did not respond to synopsis AAK-95-10 published 95MAR30 should provide, in writing, their complete address information to Wright Laboratory (see above address) in order to receive any subsequent amendments and the supplemental package (if applicable). All of the mandatory terms, clauses and provisions at DFARS 235.7006, Research and Development Streamlined Contracting format, and the following optional items are incorporated by reference: B.3, B.6, C.2, E.3, E.4, F.1, G.2, I.42, i.43, I.53, I.66, I.68, I.70, I.76, I.85, I.87, I.88, I.94, I.97, i.100, I.107, I.108, I.127, I.129, I.147, I.153, I.155, I.157, i.159, I.161, I.163, I.164, I.167, L.14, M.2. This solicitation includes clauses and provisions from FAR 1990 edition updated through FAC 90-25 and DFARS 1991 edition updated through DAC 91-6. The standard evaluation factors found in Section M of DFARS 235.7006 apply. In addition to these, the following specific criteria will also be used: a. Soundness of Approach: Evidence of sound technical approaches to be applied toward achieving the stated design goals and a clear outline as to how these concepts are to be investigated and implemented. Areas to be addressed include: analysis of pointing and tracking, atmospheric turbulence, signature modeling, psycho-physical thresholds, receiver performance and functional specification, and receiver hardware design. b. Special Technical Factors: Evaluation will be based on presentation of unique ideas and novel approaches which promise to achieve the goals or reduce technical risks. Use of well-understood technologies and modeling and the ability to predict performance limitations of proposed concepts should be emphasized. A minimum amount of justification and analysis that supports proposed solutions are appropriate. c. Understanding the Problem: Evidence of a clear understanding of the problems in question should be presented. Evidence should include a detailed knowledge of pointing and tracking error(s), atmospheric turbulence characteristics, laser receiver architectures, psycho-physical concerns, and hardware design. d. Compliance with Requirements: Evaluation will be based on evidence to support claims that tasks under the areas of consideration and work requirements in Section C, Description/Specifications can be satisfied. Parroting of the work statement without detailed discussion will be grounds for unacceptability under this criterion. The contractor's methodology will be the chief source of such evidence. A Cost Plus Fixed Fee (Completion) type contract is contemplated. The estimated period of performance is 12 months commencing on or about 95SEP15 which includes 3 months for writing and reviewing the final report. It is expected that this contract will be awarded based upon a determination that there is adequate price competition, therefore, the offeror is not required to submit or certify cost or pricing data with its proposal. If, after receipt of the proposals, the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition does not exist in accordance with FAR 15.804-3, the offeror shall provide certified cost or pricing data as required by the Contracting Officer. To be responsive to this solicitation, submit 4 copies of your Technical proposal no later than 1500 hours, 95AUG15, addressed to: Wright Laboratory, WRIGHT LABORATORY BLDG 7, Attn: JOHN R. SHOCK, WL/AAKD, 2530 C St AREA B, WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH 45433-7607. Submit 2 copies of your Cost proposal and one copy of your Small and Small Disadvantaged Business Subcontracting Plan (if applicable) no later than 1500 hours, 95AUG30, to the same address. The page limitations for technical and cost proposals are specified in DFARS 252.235-7006 (L.24). The DD Form 1423, Contract Data Requirements List, is included in the supplemental package. The technical requirements, including the reporting requirements, are contained in the supplemental package. Notice to Foreign-owned firms: This procurement excludes all Foreign participation at the prime contractor level. The objective of this effort is to provide detection technology for situational awareness and countermeasure cueing for aircrews encountering anti-personnel laser weaponry. A requirement exists to provide adequate laser warning to aid in the cueing of countermeasures and to provide margins of operational safety.A copy of the RDSCP regulations, DFARS 235-70 as published in the Federal Register of Oct 18, 1994 and as amended in the Federal Register of Mar 27, 1995, can be found on the Internet at address: http://afmccoss.wpafb.af.mil under the heading 'AFMC CO/PK', subject: 'RDSCP Regulations'. If you are unable to access the Internet, a copy of the subject regulations is available from the contracting officer. (0199)
