A -- CONSOLIDATED RADIATION ENVIRONMENTS SYSTEM (CORES) III SOL DSWA01-98-R-0030 POC Michael Richman, Negotiator, (703) 325-6671, Scott G. Morton, Contracting Officer, (703) 325-1200 The Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) has a requirement entitled, "Consolidated Radiation Environments System (CORES) III." The objective of this effort is to gather accurate information describing and accessing the consequences of natural and man-made disasters including those from the intentional release of nuclear, biological, chemical, and/or radiological material. Additionally, the existing DSWA human response model based on symptom-performance algorithms need to be expanded to include health and operational risk assessments for alpha, beta, and gamma radiation exposures below 70 cGy; and to account for demographic variability. These requirements are satisfied in three ways; first, with the development, verification and validation of computer codes and data by which such human response and consequences are calculated; second, with the development of data and software which accurately represents the response, recovery and sustainability to such radiation exposures and disaster consequences; andthird, the special application of these codes to problems of specific interest to the customers, which requires a unique approach or product. The proposed program continues the CORES and CORES II effort to extend the existing Consequences Assessment Tool Set (CATS) to suit the increased customer needs. This effort will be competed on a full-and-open competition basis. A TOP SECRET security clearance is required. Please fax requests for this solicitation to the Contract Specialist, Michael Richman, at (703) 325-9295. For further information contact Mr. Richman at (703) 325-6671. Information on DSWA solicitations, already released, and be obtained by calling the DSWA Hotline at (703) 325-1173, or through the DSWA Home Page at www.dswa.mil.
