A -- NAVAL SYSTEMS ANALYTICAL & EQUIPMENT DEVELOPMENT IN SUPPORT OF ADVANCED NAVY AUXILIARY SYSTEMS POC Barbara Rothenberg, Contract Specialist, 301/227-5755, Linda Jenista-Martin, Contracting Officer, 301/227-5774 The Carderock Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center has a requirement for developing advanced auxiliary systems architectures, equipment and equipment modules, habitability modules, and combat system integrated modules for incorporation into the future surface ship fleet. The NSWCCD has a requirement for an additional 115,750 labor hours under existing contract number N61533-94-D-0057 with Gibbs & Cox, Inc. at 50 West 23rd Street, New York, NY 10010 for the continuation of highly specialized scientific and technical support services directed toward the development of ship affordability initiatives through producibility, modularity and process simplification concepts. The subject contract is an indefinite delivery/indefinite quanitity, cost-plus-fixed-fee (completion) type contracting arrangement that provides for the application of milti-disciplinary skills, experience, and expertise directed toward research, development, and test and evaluation (T&E) of ship producibility, modularity and process simplification concepts for current and future fleet applications. The tasking efforts covered under the contract involve areas which include ship system design, ship construction practice, ship constructing costing, ship producibility initiatives, machinery modularity design and construction, combat system modularity design and construction, hull and habitability modularity design and construction, with demonstrated application of the principles of Affordability Through Commonality practices. Analytical studies conducted for this effort generally require in-depth knowledge of surface ship auxiliary systems, habitability considerations, combat systems as related to current Navy modular packaging techniques, and advanced system analysis projects. Studies performed under this contract will primarily center around the DDG 51 class, CVX Class, and future surface combatants. (0141)
