63 -- SOURCES SOUGHT FOR COMMERCIAL PHYSICAL SECURITY EQUIPMENT, WEATHER VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT TOOL FOR INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM (IDS) PERFORMANCE POC Jennifer Bertuna, Negotiator, (703) 325-9368, Edward L. Archer, Contracting Officer, (703) 325-5028 THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY. THERE IS NO RFP AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME> REQUESTS FOR AN RFP WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. The Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) is seeking commercial vendors of a software package which extrapolates IDS performance data to a wide range of weather conditions. The software must be able to evaluate weather influence on IDS performance trials and extrapolate an effective probability of detection (Pd). The system will prompt for: sensor types/phenomenology (infrared, microwave, beam break, ground motion, fence vibration, fiber optic, etc.); placement (fence, surface/subsurface, tower, etc.); location (site-specific features, orientation, arrangement, detection zone configuration, etc.); date/time of trial; current weather; intruder characteristics (human/vehicle, size,weight, speed, thermal limits, etc.); and trial results (detections vs. attempted intrusions). The output will consist of apparent Pd (statistically derived from detections vs. attempts), effective Pd (corrected for weather and site influences), and a vulnerability assessment (narrative description of weather and site influences; predicted Pd, and likelihood of nuisance alarms as functions of season and time of day). The software must be IBM compatible and integrate with existing security system data automation equipment. Parties capable of meeting these requirements are requested to provide, by 30 Sep 97: (1) specification or engineering docurments or brochures which describe the capabilities of their commercially developed software which meet the requirements specified above; (2) cost of the software, both individually and in quantity; (3) points of contact which can provide additional information, if required. This information should be provided to Jennifer Bertuna by mail at Defense Special Weapons Agency, ATTN: Jennifer Bertuna/AMA, 6801 Telegraph Road, Alexandria, VA 22310-3398 or by fax at (703) 325-9291. The Government will not be paying for responses. For further information, contact JenniferBertuna at (703) 325-9368. Based on the results of this announcement, an RFP may or may not be released at a later date. Information on DSWA solicitations, already released, can be obtained by calling the DSWA Hotlie at (703) 325-1173. As of 31 May 1996, Acquisition Management has added "Procurement Opportunities" to the DSWA Home Page available on the World Wide Web. Information will include this synopsis and more.
