The Air Force Technical Application Center (AFTAC) has requirements: Monitor the nuclear test ban treaty; develop techniques to aid in monitoring the comprehensive test ban treaty; perform research and development (R&D); develop new software applications; support previously-developed software applications; perform statistical techniques; perform both nuclear and weather quality control; perform as an advisor to AFTAC in all of the above areas of tasking; and perform new tasks to better define existing evaluation methods. The contractor will be able to support, maintain, and modify the existing software applications which follow: the Meterological Analysis Support System (MASS); the Sample, Collection, Recovery, and Measurement System (SCRAMS) database; and the Integrated Reactor Products Program Evaluation System (IRES) which includes the following meterological models: the Short-Range Layered Atmospheric Model, the Global Atmospheric Multi-Layered Transport Model (GAMUT), and the Theoretical Calculation (TCAL) model, with their respective graphical user interfaces within the Meteorological Evaluation Display System (MEDS). Also, the contractor will have to continue and complete the development and support of the Special Studies Workstation (SSWK). The contractor will be competent and experienced in: nuclear data control and management; advanced multi-layered meterological modeling; statistical processes to include the multiple regression technique; software configuration control and programming; and the evaluation of weather and nuclear data. The contractor will understand and be able to describe the techniques and equipment which the AFTAC laboratories use to perform sample analysis. Contractors must have a SECRET cleared facility to include a secure computer system to handle material produced under the contract. Due to the nature of this potential effort, NO foreign country sources will be considered. Contractor personnel would require DoD security clearance of at least the TOP SECRET level for this potential effort.
