(2) TECHNOLOGY READINESS: Maintaining awareness/working knowledge of sensor and interceptor technologies (BMDO and other agencies/countries), technologies assessments and impact analyses (impact on BMDO programs and on other agency programs), emerging technologies selection plans, technology enhancements, system improvements, system/component integration, shared technology development opportunities, interceptor and sensor technology design, development and fabrication, development of tools to support evaluation of technologies, interface, technology integration and coordination between BMDO core program offices (THAAD, PAC-3, etc.) and the sensor and interceptor components offices. (3)EXPERIMENTS/TESTS: System engineering and analyses to determine experiment/test requirements, experience/test objectives definition, mission planning, risk plans/risk reduction, test plans and procedures, flight test software, command/test data ground stations and test facilities, ground and flight test planning (based on mathematical models and simulations) and conduct for components, systems and system integration, safety plans and risk reduction recommendations, target requirements and threat representative target recommendations, range operations planning and conduct, test operations and validation, development of software and databases for experiment/test data and collection/analyses of data. (4) SPECIAL STUDIES AND ANALYSES: System effectiveness/impact studies, architecture studies, system integration studies, and performance studies. To perform this effort, the contractor must have expertise in the following 17 technical areas: (1) INFRARED (IR) SENSOR, (2) LIDAR, (3) SEEKERS, (4) IR PASSIVE PHENOMENOLOGY, (5) MISSION PLANNING, (6) SPACE SYSTEMS, (7) BATTLE MANAGEMENT COMMAND, CONTROL AND COMMUNICATIONS (BMC3), (8) COMMUNICATIONS, (9) RADAR, (10) SURVIVABILITY, (11) DATA AND SENSOR FUSION, (12) PROCESSOR, (13) ADVANCED STRUCTURES AND MATERIALS, (14) INTERNAL POWER, (15) PROPULSION, (16) LETHALITY, and (17) UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV). A cost plus fixed fee, IDIQ/Task Order contract is contemplated covering a base period of 2 years, and three 1 year option periods totaling a maximum of five years. LEVEL OF EFFORT: Total of 90 man-years: approximately 36 man-years for the base period and 18 man-years for each option year. Contract award is planned in April 1997. Both large and small business, as defined in Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 8711, Engineering Services (Military and Aerospace Equipment and Military Weapons): Size Standard: $20.0 Million, are invited to submit to the contracting office, not later than 25 September 1996, evidence of their capability to perform the contract. CAPABILITY STATEMENTS should specifically address the contractor's expertise in each of the 17 technical areas. Explain whether that expertise is currently available ''in house'' or if the contractor would require new hires, teaming, or subcontracts. Also, provide an estimate the total % of work to be subcontracted and the number of subcontractors in each of the four (4) functional areas of work. An Organizational Conflict of Interest Clause will be part of the resultant contract.
