CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN AIR STATION WARNING SYSTEMS SOFTWARE SUPPORT MARKET SURVEY Cheyenne Mountain Air Station (CMAS) Warning Systems Software Support (WSSS) contract F05604-93-C-9006 currently with Kaman Sciences Corporation expires 30 Sep 98. Air Force Space Systems Support Group/SMC plans to exercise this requirement as a modification onto the Cheyenne Mountain Complex Mission Software Support (CMC/MSS) contract F05604-97-C-9002 also with Kaman Sciences Corporation. The purpose of this action is to eliminate the acquisition costs at this time, reduce overall performance costs and reduce the overhead costs of administering two contracts. The combined requirement will be recompeted as a single contract starting in FY00 for a 1 Oct 01 start. The scope of WSSS encompasses software services to support the operational warning mission of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), United States Space Command (USSPACECOM), Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) and Cheyenne Mountain Air Station (CMAS). The term "Warning Systems" refers to those current, replacement and future systems which perform the warning portions of the NORAD, USSPACECOM and AFSPC operations missions, or which perform related warning systems functions. These warning systems are a subset of the Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment (ITW/AA) system which provides strategic warning data to the National Command Authorities (NCA), the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and the various world-wide Commanders-in- Chief (CINCs). Support for the following systems, once in an operational status, is currently contemplated: NORAD Computer System Modular Display System Warning Display Terminal Theater Display Terminal Granite Sentry Command Center Processing and Display System Replacement Processing and Display System Missile Warning Monitoring System Video Distribution System Scenario Generator World Wide Origin and Threat System Upgrade Companies who believe they are capable of performing this work on a more cost effective basis than the contemplated approach for the periods 1 Oct 98 through 30 Sep 01, should reply in writing to Ms Diane Coulson, 21 CONS/LGCXA, 135 E. Ent Ave, Ste 101, Peterson AFB, CO 80914-1385, phone (719) 556-4231 or FAX (719) 556-4756 to set up a capabilities briefing. Regardless of the outcome of this interim action (1 Oct 98 -- 30 Sep 01), the follow-on WSSS requirement will be combined with the CMC/MSS requirement and competed as a single contract. Note the reacquisition for CMC/MSS received only one acceptable proposal that being from Kaman Sciences Corporation.
