H -- PERFORMANCE, EVALUATION, TEST AND SIMULATION SOL FO8650-93-C-0003 DUE 033096 POC Francis Ting, Contract Negotiator, (407) 494-7093/Roger A MacLeod, Contracing Officer, (407) 494-9517. The 45th Space Wing intends to acquire on a sole source basis from ENSCO, Inc. Performance, Evaluation, Test and Simulation (PET&S) services for the 45th Space Wing range instrumentation systems. Range instrumentation systems are the combination of software and hardware required to perform the 45 SW mission (i.e. optics, telemetry, radar, Range Safety Display, etc). The contractor shall participate in test and evaluation, and conduct independent test and evaluation of specific range instrumentation systems and networks. This work will consist of appropriate reviews, studies, evaluations, and analyses, participation in test and evaluation lead by another organization, test design and execution, simulation of test vehicle and range instrumentation system measurement streams, formats and volumes, analytical prototypes of range instrumentation systems configuration, analysis of range instrumentation systems support for Test and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMPS), anomaly reporting, providing engineering analysis to support range instrumentation system certification, and training. The purpose of this effort is to develop the highest degree of confidence in the range instrumentation systems developed or modified for use at 45 SW in supporting launch operations. This confidence must be established by utilizing a group independent of the developer. The PET&S effort requires application of knowledge of missile flight safety systems, airborne vehicle systems (particularly navigation and telemetry systems), test range instrumentation and communication, and geophysical and meteorological phenomena. The primary deliverables consist of test support analyses, technical reports and data deliverables. The applicable SIC code is 3769 and Small Business size standard is 1,000 employees. The Air Force intends to issue a modification to ENSCO, the incumbent contractor, that extends the current PET&S contract in the interim by six (6) months starting 1 Apr 96. This extension modification will consist of one three-month basic period of performance and three one-month options. The authority for awarding this sole source modification will be FAR 6.302-1, ''Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.'' Interested parties are requested to provide a statement of capability that demonstrate their ability to perform this work. This information must be provided no later than 15 days after publication of this synopsis. A statement such as ''can provide'' is not adequate. The Air Force will not pay or otherwise reimburse respondents for information submitted. See numbered Note 22. (0074)
