A -- RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FOR ACOUSTIC SIMULATION AND TACTICS PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS. SOL N00014-97-R-SE01 DUE 041497 POC Contact Specialist, Eric J. Sogard; Contractiang Officer, John W. Adams, III, 601-688-5784 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Contract Specialist via e-mail, esogard@nrlssc.navy.mil. The Naval Research Laboratory, Stennis has requirements for support of projects and programs concerning Acoustic Simulation and Tactics. The Contractor shall provide analytical, programmatic, engineering, technical and life cycle work of a non-personnel nature covering the following four general areas: (a) Engineering, (b) Oceanographic and Atmospheric Data Collection and Support, (c) System Maintenance and Repair, and (d) Environmental Acoustic Analysis. The requirement involves research, development, test, evaluation and life cycle support in the following areas: (a) theoretical physics, numerical techniques, and computer modeling of underwater sound propagation and scattering. (b) experimental validation of models and translation of the results of basic research into accurate technical support to the Navy underwater acoustic community. (c) marine environment analysis relevant to acoustic propagation through the development of acoustic environmental data bases and numerical modeling of the acoustic field interaction with the ocean and seafloor. (d) at sea experiments and data analysis/interpretation (e) transitioning acoustic and environmental modeling technology to naval warfare oriented applications (f) transferring new technology developed within the research community to specific acoustic prediction requirements in support of strategic planning, tactical operations, intelligence gathering, system designs and analyses, and at sea measurement programs (g) performing model applications and analysis support for naval weapon systems, tactical development and evaluation analysis, operations research and systems analysis activities (h) developing applications software particularly attuned to the needs and requirements of the Navy end user. A Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity type contract is anticipated. Specific requirements will be filled by the placement of Delivery Orders. The base period is estimated at 12 months with four 1-year options. A complete Statement of Work will be included with the solicitation package. Prospective contractors should request, in writing, a copy of solicitation/RFP No. N00014-97-R-SE01. FAX requests are acceptable (601-688-6055).
