INDUSTRY BRIEFING FOR CONTRACTUAL SUPPORT OF THE PACIFIC RANGES AND FACILITIES EQUIPMENT AND ASSOCIATED SERVICES POC Mary Jacobs, Contract Specialist, (619) 939-6043. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWPNS), China Lake, California, plans to hold an Industry Briefing on 27 August 1996, from 0900-1700 in the China Lake Auditorium, for two upcoming contractual requirements. The Pacific Ranges and Facilities Department includes the Land Ranges and the Electronic Combat Range (ECR) at China Lake, California. The Land Ranges are comprised of various test sites including, Radar Cross Section (RCS) Range and Propulsion Warhead Environmental Test Range. The Superior Valley Bombing and Gunnery Range (SVBGR) is included in the ECR. However, secondary sites that may be supported through these contracts are the Sea Range and San Nicholas Island at Point Mugu, CA, and the NAWCWPNS Detachment at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, and other off-site locations that have a mission or requirement connected to the mission of the primary sites covered by these contracts. Support may include any range consolidations that may occur during the life of the contract. Each contract will provide the core requirements to support essential services to the specific range's testing and operational needs. However, each contract will allow for the procurement of support identified as other than a core requirement, such as, but not limited to, temporary increases in testing or improvements to range capabilities, and functionally specific to the contract. 1. Land Range Support (excluding Electronic Combat Range) includes, but is not necessarily limited to, communications, frequency monitoring, meteorology, field power systems (fuel powered generators and photo-voltaic systems), photo-electronics (maintenance and repair of video equip, cameras, tracking mount trailers, domes), land targets, range scrap removal, ordnance removal and cleanup, and radar cross section range maintenance and operational support. Support includes, but is not limited to, maintenance and repair, test operation support, and installation of new equipment in the functional areas described above. The contract will also provide for any increased effort in the areas of communication systems, meteorology, field power systems, targets, ordnance removal and cleanup to any site within the Pacific Range and Test Facilities. These functions are currently performed by Research and Development Laboratories (RDL) in support of the North Range and the Radar Cross Section Range, China Lake CA, under a contract set-aside for 8(a) business concerns. At this time, the NAWCWPNS anticipates the proposed requirement will be set-aside for 8(a) business concerns, and expects the award of a cost plus award fee, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity type contract using best value source selection. The new effort is scheduled to begin 1 October 1997. Top Secret facility and personnel security clearances will be required. 2. Electronic Combat Range and Superior Valley Bombing and Gunnery Range Support includes, but is not necessarily limited to, radar and laser systems, telemetry systems, Operation Centers, Command and Control Centers, communication systems, computer systems, global positioning systems, local area network systems, bomb scoring systems, configuration management, project engineering, range quality assurance, support, ordnance removal and cleanup, and other functions in support of general range operations. The contract will include maintenance, operations, improvement and modernization, in the electronic and mechanical fields, including technical and engineering, hardware and software for the systems described above. The contract will also provide for any increase effort in the areas of radar and laser systems, telemetry systems, and global positioning systems to any site within the Pacific Range and Test Facilities. These functions are currently performed by Manufacturing Technology, Inc. (MTI) in support of the Electronic Combat Range, China Lake CA, under a contract set-aside for 8(a) business concerns. At this time, the NAWCWPNS anticipates the proposed requirement will be set-aside for 8(a) business concerns, and expects the award of a cost plus award fee, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity type contract using best value source selection. The new effort is scheduled to begin 1 February 1998. Top Secret facility and personnel security clearances will be required. The purpose of the briefing is to inform prospective contractors of the Government's requirements and to determine if sufficient competition exists among qualified, capable, and interested 8(a) business concerns. Attendance at the briefing will be limited to 2 representatives from each responding 8(a) company. All other responding companies will be accommodated on a space available basis, and limited to no more than 2 representatives each. The briefing will be unclassified. The briefing will be recorded on video tape.
