B -- MARKET SURVEY-DATA EVALUATION SUPPORT POC Capt Cameron Holt, Contract Negotiator, (407) 494-4381/Maria Bechard Contracting Officer, (407) 494-2706. SOURCES SOUGHT-MARKET SURVEY-DATA EVALUATION SUPPORT. The Air Force Technical Application Center (AFTAC) has requirements: Monitor the nuclear test ban treaty; Develop techniques to aide in monitoring the comprehensive test ban treaty; Perform Research and Development (R&D), Develop new software applications; Support previously developed software application, Perform statistical techniques, Perform both nuclear and weather data quality control; Perform as an advisor to AFTAC in all of the above areas of tasking; and perform new tasks to better define existing evaluation methods. The contractor will be able to support, maintain, and modify the existing software applications which follow: the Meteorological Analysis Support System (Mass); the Sample, Collection, Recovery, and Measurement System (SCRAMS) database; the software to support the AFTAC Weather System (AWES) database; and the Integrated Reactor Products Program Evaluation System (IRES), which includes the following meteorological models: the Short-range Layered Atmospheric Model, the Global Atmospheric Multi-layered Transport Model (GAMUT), and the Theoretical Calculation (TCAL) Model, with their respective graphical user interfaces within the Meteorological Evaluation Display System (MEDS). Also, the contractor will have to continue and complete the development and support of the Special Studies Workstation (SSWK). The contractor will be competent and experienced in: nuclear data control and management; advanced multi-layered meteorological modeling; statistical processes to include the Multiple Regression technique; software configuration control and programming; and the evaluation of weather and nuclear data. The contractor will understand and be able to describe the techniques and equipment which the AFTAC laboratories use to perform sample analysis.
