D -- SOFTWARE ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL SERVICES FOR DEVELOPMENT, MAINTENANCE, AND ENHANCEMENTS OF NATIONAL DESIGNATED GROUND ZERO LIST INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM (NIDS), NIDS II, AND MULTIPLE ENGAGEMENT MODULE (MEM) SOL F25600-98-R0004 DUE 051598 POC Robert L. Luksa, (402) 294-3083 The Government intends to negotiate with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) follow-on development and maintenance of National Designated Ground Zero List Integrated Development System (NIDS). NIDS was developed by SAIC for USSTRATCOM/J521/J523, Offutt AFB, NE. The proposed contract will be for a basic plus 4 option years. The requirements are as follows: (1) The completion of expanding the functionality of NIDS and the National Target Base (NTB) production process, NIDS II. (2) The follow-on maintenance and enhancements of NIDS II. (3) Multiple Engagement Module (MEM) maintenance and enhancements. Completion of the NIDS II development effort is March 1999. This effort includes a Single User Interface (SUI) to all functions required to build and maintain a nuclear weapon testing system. The following six functions are included: 1. Database Management and Maintenance (a) The functionality of all NTB Maintenance and Production programs within the current N204a and N205 and all J5215 "memory items". These processes are automated and streamlined. (b) Construction and maintenance of installations including interactive graphical mapping capability for the user to build and quality assure installations. (c) Assign codes to data fields within an installation record. (d) Batch and On-line updates to the database. (e) Receive and maintain installation data. Changes to the installation records include adds, deletes, and changes. The planner is able to discriminate between "transactions" in order to process, cancel, or hold them for future use. (f) A knowledge rulebase made up of guidance dependent rules which can easily be modified by the user as a result of changes to guidance. The function of these rules perform semantic, legal value and cross-field checks on the data. The ability to process three active revisions with separate rules. (g) Read and update the SWPS Enterprise database directly. The ability to create and save data sets. A log of database transactions. (h) Import or export from any media. i.e., electronic, floppy or tape. (i) Perform comparisons of data. (j) Promote changes to all records or a subset of records. (k) Create a facility record. (l) The ability to transmit data electronically to the Intelligence Data Handling System (IDHS). 2. Display of Installation Data: (a) Display installation locations and detailed information on a variety of graphical map backgrounds. (b) Overlay DTED data on a mapping background from which to extract and display elevation data. 3. Adaptive/Crisis Planning: (a) Support of the adaptive/crisis planning process used in the development of Deliberate Planning Options (DPOs)/Theater Nuclear Options (TNOs). (b) Generate a message which will notify planners upstream as to which targets have been selected. 4. Target Excursions: (a) Create, store and modify ad hoc queries and reports. Sort query results in various ways. (b) Print formatted reports and specified screens. (c) Create multiple databases for excursions. 5. Security Safeguards: (a) Provide users different privileges based on their job's responsibility. Some users may require read only capability to certain data items while others may require read, write, and delete capabilities. (b) Maintain proper SCI/ESI system separation. 6. Miscellaneous: (a) Training by the developer. (b) User-friendly Software Users Manual (SUM). (c) Minimize the number of panels required to perform tasks. (d) Detailed on-line help manual. (e) On-sight support (basic period of performance 1 Oct 99 through 30 Sept 00, plus 4 option periods). MEM is used to model anti-ballistic missile systems (ABMs) and also to conduct special studies involving strategic weapons. It assesses the attrition of the ICBM/SLBM portion of an attack against ballistic missile defenses. The model is flexible, allowing evaluation of a variety of ABM system configurations and characteristics. It is capable of simulating various engagement scenarios including nuclear weapon effects. It is used in various wargaming studies to analyze and predict future force structures and attack planning. Firms who believe who believe they are capable of meeting the requirements are asked to provide complete qualifications package for technical evaluation in writing within 15 days of publication of this issue of the Commerce Business Daily. Telephone responses will not be accepted. Numbered Notes 22 and 26 apply. (0029)
