COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF JANUARY 2,1996 PSA#1501Aeronautical Systems Center, Weapons, Air Base and Range PSO,
Contracting Division (ASC/VXK), 102 West D Ave Ste 168 Eglin AFB FL A -- TECHNICAL AND ENGINEERING ACQUISITION SUPPORT (TEAS III) SOL
F08626-96-R-0003 POC Contact Mr. Mark Fitzgerald, Contract Specialist,
or Mr. Roland Baez, Contracting Officer at (904) 882-4711, FAX number
904-882-6278. The Weapons, Air Base and Range Program Office, in
support of the recompetition of the Technical and Engineering
Acquisition Support (TEAS) task order contract, is issuing this Notice
of Contract Action. Non-foreign sources are sought to provide
non-personal manpower support services in a variety of engineering
technical and acquisition management disciplines at Eglin AFB FL and
other related locations, as required. The current TEAS contract
F08635-91-C-0002, awarded 03 Jan 91, is scheduled to expire 16 March
1996. The estimated ceiling level of performance is 420 manyears of
Members of the Technical Staff (MTS) per contract year. MTS refers to
professionals directly chargeable to tasks, it does not include
subprofessionals or overhead personnel. The estimated ceiling for
Technical Support Staff (subprofessionals and overhead personnel) is
not to exceed 25% of the MTS manhours. The TEAS contract incorporates
modern research, design, development and test practices into the system
acquisition process for a wide range of munitions systems related
technologies undergoing research, concept exploration, demonstration
and validation, full-scale development and various stages of
production. Programs include air-to-air missiles, precision guided
air-to-surface weapons, nonnuclear munitions and associated equipment,
direct fire weapons, aerial targets, test/training range
instrumentation, electronic threat simulators and associated software
for weapons testing and technology developments. The intent is to
utilize unique private sector engineering expertise to enhance the Air
Force's capability to accomplish munitions development and acquisition
programs. The TEAS contract will contain an, ''Avoidance of
Organizational Conflicts of Interest,'' clause which restricts the
successful offeror from participating in any acquisitions at Eglin or
related worksites until two years after completion of the contract. A
three year contract with two one-year options is contemplated. The
contract will provide extensive engineering research, develpment, test
and evaluation acquisition support in the following functional areas:
(a) guidance and control techniques applicable to air-to-air and
air-to-ground guided weapons, (b) electronic warfare, both active and
passive electromagnetic systems used primarily for realistic aircrew
combat training exercises and weapon systems command and control: (c)
radar, conventional and millimeter wave frequencies, real beam and
synthetic aperture techniques, ground/missile-borne systems, (d)
sensors for launch and leave weapons employing automatic target
acquisition and lock-on after launch capabilities, and active and
passive ECM/ECCM design considerations, (e) VHF transmissions, high
speed analog and digital data, time-space position information, fiber
optic data links, voice and video transmissions, laser and telemetry
multiplexing and carrier techniques, and ECM resistance, (f)
aerodynamics dealing with analysis, specification review, prediction
and verification of flight stability characteristics and performance,
(g) mission critical computer resources, expertise in federated
architectures, higher order languages, verification and validation, and
requirements analysis with emphasis on computer systems acquisition
methods specified in Air Force Regulation 800-14, (h) propulsion
emphasis on rockets and guided weapons, (i) fuze, warheads and
explosives, components of gun system ammunition and weapon system
munitions capable of defeating a wide variety of targets, (j) gun
systems, primarily aircraft systems: (k) support equipment, equipment
used to test/isolate fault and enhance subsystem availability and
performance, (l) product assurance engineering including reliability,
maintainability, supportability, quality assurance, corrosion
prevention and control, and human factors, (m) structures associated
with airborne tactical vehicles, ground handling equipment, and
support/operational facilities, (n) manufacturing engineering dealing
with advanced manufacturing technology, industrial modernization
incentive program, computer integrated manufacturing, factory
automation analysis, robotics, production engineering, producibility,
and production planning, (o) test and evaluation engineering on
non-nuclear munitions and electronic systems, (p) research, exploratory
and advanced development in weapons systems technology, (q) development
planning for the introduction of emerging technologies into weapons
sytems, (r) computer engineering for weapons systems, (s)
susceptibility analysis, testing and design techniques applicable to
EMI/EMC, (t) identification and elimination of HAZMAT including ozone
depleting compounds, volatile organic compounds, and heavy metals in
munitions productions, (u) advanced navigation techniques including
integrated differential GPS - inertial concepts and, (v) mission
planning concepts applicable to missile systems. Tasks will include
providing engineering support for, and performing and developing:
missile systems simulations and seekers, aero prediction and weapons
effectiveness modeling, engineering analysis, technical reports,
independent review, red team support, statements of work, system
specifications, contract data requirements lists, systems engineering
management plans, integrated logistics support plans, etc., reviewing
development product/software specifications, engineering drawings,
monitoring system design, integration, tests, technical progress, etc.
and participating in engineering support for program management,
technical interchange and working group meetings. Elements of the RFP
will be entered into the Eglin AFB, FL Electronic Bulletin Board System
(EBBS). Interested parties are encouraged to access this data. The EBBS
can be accessed at 904-882-3669. If you have problems accessing the
EBBS system, call 904-882-5310 or 5544. Parties interested in this
upcoming solicitation must confirm their interest in writing.
