B -- ANALYSES AND EVALUATIONS TO SUPPORT JASSM PROGRAM OFFICE SOL F08626-97-R-0124 DUE 012497 POC Mary Reynolds, Contract Specialist, (904) 882-4785 ext 3181; Jackie Leitzel, Contracting Officer, (904) 882-4785 ext 3182 Sources are sought for survivability and effectiveness analyses in support of the Joint Air-To-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) program. This is a follow on contract to F08626-96-C-0166, currently being performed by Calspan Corporation address, P.O. Box 400, Buffalo, NY. This effort will provide analyses to support the JASSM System Program Office (SPO) and Air Combat Command (ACC) during the execution of the JASSM contract for Program Definition and Risk Reduction (PDRR), Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) The period of performance will be from l5 Sep 97 to 14 Sep 98 with three option years. The contractor will be required to conduct analyses in support of various program milestones including the Analysis of Alternative (AOA) (formerly the Cost and Operational Effectiveness Analysis (COEA)). In addition to the AOA, the contractor will be required to provide analyses and evaluations that support SPO activities such as the rolling downselect evaluation of the two prime JASSM contractors, Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems and McDonnell Douglas during the PDRR phase. The analyses will evaluate the JASSM contractors' design/performance for a selected set of scenarios and employment options and will include candidate alternatives to JASSM which could be employed within given mission contexts. The contractor will be required to perform the analyses using one-on-one, one-on-many simulations at both the single engagement, mission and campaign levels. The contractor will be required to update the analyses as changes occur in threat performance assessment and in JASSM design/performance. The contractor will be required to maintain, update, and expand/develop as required the threat system performance parameter databases created for the JASSM Milestones II and III. The contractor will be required to maintain the computer tool set used in conducting all analyses. Additionally, the contractor will be required to perform studies to evaluate performance of the JASSM mission planning system designs and algorithms, and provide analyses as required to support JASSM development and operational test and evaluation. The contractor will have access to source selection sensitive data of the two JASSM contractors, Lockheed Martin and McDonnell Douglas, and thus be required to sign nondisclosure agreements with Lockheed Martin and McDonnell Douglas, and source selection briefing certificates. This effort requires Special Access Program (SAP) access criteria that will follow guidelines established in DCID 1/14. Basic access to the Special Access Required (SAR) portions of the JASSM program are limited to those individuals that possess a FINAL SECRET security clearance, current within the last five years. This effort requires the daily access to TOP SECRET SAR data and that the contractor have the ability to conduct survivability studies and have access to other program's SAR data. Therefore all personnel having access to data shall possess TOP SECRET security clearance at time of contract award. This clearance must be current within the last five years and be based upon an Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI). In addition, the contractor must possess an approved Special Access Program Facility (SAPF) to afford protection for Program classified information and material. All SAPFS used for processing, discussions, or storage of JASSM AOA efforts shall meet safeguard standards commensurate to those for TOP SECRET materials. Potential offerors must submit a capabilities package for supporting the JASSM program. See Note 25. Potential offerors must demonstrate previous experience using models such as ESAMS, SUPPRESSOR, RADGUNS and MOSAIC. In addition the contractor must be knowledgeable on bomber and fighter aircraft CONOPS, USAF and USN conventional missile employment tactics: AOA scenario development; the use of Thunder for campaign level analysis; and Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manual (JMEM) and other lethality analysis of JASSM on various targets. The potential offeror shall demonstrate the required security clearance for his personnel that will preclude interruption of services to support milestones for the JASSM program. The potential offeror shall demonstrate that he has a facility that meets the construction standards and acoustical controls outlined in DCID 1/21 for areas where JASSM SAR program materials are discussed, stored or processed. The potential offeror shall demonstrate Specialized Compartmentalized Information, and verification of NOFORN. Potential offerors have to be certified and registered for STINFO export control by the Defense Logistics Services Center (DLSC) Battle Creek MI, telephone number 800-352-3572, to receive any resultant RFP. This certification is above and beyond the requirements for a security clearance and may be obtained by submitting a DD Form 2345 to DLSC. Firms should include STINFO certification status in their capability package. Offerors need to state the firm's size (large, small, Small Disadvantaged Business) in the capability package. The Government will exclude sources not meeting the above criteria. After all statements of capabilities have been screened, any subsequent solicitation resulting from this announcement will be issued to those prospective sources which, in the sole judgment of the purchasing activity, have a potential to successfully fulfill this requirement.
