INSTRUCTIONS: (1) General Instructions: Offerors should apply the
restrictive notice prescribed in the provision at FAR 52.215-12,
Restriction on Disclosure and use of Data, to trade secrets or
privileged commercial and financial information contained in their
proposals. Proposal questions should be directed to one of the points
of contact listed elsewhere herein. Offerors should consider
instructions contained in the WL PRDA and BAA Guide for Industry
referenced in Section A of this announcement. Technical and cost
proposals, submitted in separate volumes, are required and must be
valid for 180 days. Proposals must reference the above PRDA number.
Proposals shall be submitted in an original and five copies. All
responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered
against the criteria set forth herein. Offers are advised that only
contracting officers are legally authorized to contractually bind or
otherwise commit the government. (2) Cost Proposal: The accompanying
cost proposal/price breakdown shall be supplied on an SF 1411, together
with supporting schedules, and shall contain a person-hour breakdown
per task. Copies of the above-referenced forms may be obtained from the
contracting office cited. (3) Technical Proposal: The technical
proposal shall include a discussion of the nature and scope of the
research and the technical approach. Additional information on prior
work in this area, descriptions of available equipment, data and
facilities, and resumes of personnel who will be participating in this
effort should also be included as attachments to the technical
proposal and are not included in the page limit. The technical proposal
shall include a Statement of Work (SOW) detailing the technical tasks
proposed to be accomplished under the proposed effort and suitable for
contract incorporation. Offerors should refer to the WL Guide
referenced in Section A to assist in SOW preparation. PL 98-94 applies.
Offerors must submit approved DD Form 2345, Export-Controlled DOD
Technical Data Agreement with their proposal. Any questions concerning
the technical proposal or SOW preparation shall be referred to the
Technical Point of Contact cited in this announcement. (4) Page
Limitations: The technical proposal shall be limited to 150 pages (10
point or larger type), proportional spaced font, double-spaced,
single-sided, 8.5 by 11 inches. The page limitation includes all
information, i.e. indexes, photographs, foldouts, appendices,
attachments, etc. Pages in excess of this limitation will not be
considered by the government. Cost proposals have no limitations,
however, Offerors are requested to keep cost proposals to 75 pages as
a goal. (5) Preparation Cost: This announcement does not commit the
Government to pay for any response preparation cost. The cost of
preparing proposals in response to this PRDA is not considered an
allowable direct charge to any resulting or any other contract.
However, it may be an allowable expense to the normal bid and proposal
indirect cost as specified in FAR 31.205-18. E--BASIS FOR AWARD: The
selection of one or more sources for award will be based on an
evaluation of an offeror's response (both technical and cost aspects)
to determine the overall merit of the proposal in response to the
announcement. The technical aspect, which is ranked as the first order
of priority, shall be evaluated based on the following criteria which
are of equal importance: (a) new and creative solutions, as a minimum
the offeror should discuss pulse deinterleaving techniques utilizing
correlation, probability analysis in ID generation, techniques for
integrating GPS and INS into software configurations, ID table
generation metrics and architecture innovations, and signal declaration
software (b) the offeror's understanding of the scope of the technical
effort, as a minimum the offeror should discuss their expertise with
regard to the simulation effort based on their knowledge of current and
planned radar warning, ELINT, and ECM systems applicable to this
effort,(c) soundness of offeror's technical approach, (d) the
availability of qualified technical personnel and their experience with
applicable technologies, (e) the offeror's past experience with
applicable processing algorithms such as: RANGLAN/PLAID passive ranging
based on Time/Frequency Doppler and interferometric techniques, GPS and
INS software simulations, EWPE II Software Simulations, RAD ID
Simulations/ADA Tools, and receiver technologies, and (f) organization,
clarity, and thoroughness of the proposed SOW. Cost, which includes
consideration of proposed budgets and funding profiles, is ranked as
the second order of priority. No other evaluation criteria will be
used. The technical and cost information will be evaluated at the same
time. The Air Force reserves the right to select for award of a
contract, grant, or cooperative agreement any, all, part, or none of
the proposals received. Award of a grant to universities or nonprofit
institutions or cooperative agreement, in lieu of a contract, will be
considered and will be subject to the mutual agreement of the parties.
