A -- VULNERABILITY OF SYSTEMS TO ELECTROMAGNETIC EFFECTS POC Susan Benik, Negotiator, (703) 325-6962, Edward Archer, Contracting Officer, (703) 325-5028. The Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) is seeking a contractor with the capability to address the vulnerability of systems to Electromagnetic (EM) Effects, to include nuclear effects. This Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) is designed to support EM vulnerability assessment of 2-3 systems per year. Assessments are generally of less than one year duration and include analysis, low level testing, and high level testing to identify and characterize system vulnerabilities to EM radiation. There are three primary technical objectives of this effort: 1) assess the system EM vulnerability; 2) evaluate weapon employment envelopes; and 3) refine assessment methodology. This is a total small business set-aside. See Note 1. All requests for the RFP must be in writing. Faxed requests are acceptable and should be faxed to the attention of Susan L. Benik at (703) 325-9291. If the request is faxed, no hard copy is required. Information on DSWA solicitations, already released, can be obtained by calling the DSWA Hotline at (703) 325-1173.
