COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF JULY 14,1998 PSA#2136Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, BMDO/DCT, 1725 Jefferson Davis
Highway, Suite 809, Arlington, VA 22202 A -- THEATER AIR AND MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND
INTEGRATION SUPPORT SOL HQ0006-95-C-0018 POC POC: Mr. Marc Lesser,
(703) 604-4242, CBD Reference Number BMDO 98-10 The Ballistic Missile
Defense Organization (BMDO) intends to award a sole source contract
modification to TRW, Inc., Systems Integration Group, to modify the
existing Theater Missile Defense (TMD) Systems Integration &
Interoperability (SI&I) Theater Ballistic Missile Defense (TBMD) Family
of Systems (FoS) Program under Contract HQ0006-95-C-0018. The
modification will add Theater Air and Missile Defense (TAMD) Systems
Engineering & Integration (SE&I) efforts. TAMD expands the existing TMD
TBMD FoS mission to include defense against air-breathing threats. The
FoS is the integration of the Services' TAMD systems to provide the
Commander-In-Chief's with fully integrated TAMD capabilities that can
be readily tailored to the specifics of each theater's TAMD threat. The
competitively TRW awarded basic contract included integration &
interoperability (I&I) of all TMD systems (ballistic and air
breathing), but required detailed documentation development for only
TBMD. BMDO now requires documentation development of full TAMD systems.
As such, BMDO has an immediate need to conduct SE&I activities for the
purpose of developing, defining, and documenting TAMD system
requirements for a TAMD FoS. TRW (in addition to basic SI&I efforts),
will develop a TMD FoS System Requirements Document (SRD), a TMD FoS
Program Plan, and a TMD Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP). The SRD
will provide a bridge between the Capstone Requirements Document (CRD)
and the FoS Integrated Test Plan (ITP), flowing CRD requirements to
2003-era and 2010-era TMD/TAMD FoS system requirements and providing
requirements traceability from the CRD to the ITP. The TMD FoS Program
Plan will include an integrated management plan for TMD FoS
integration and interoperability. Efforts will include developing the
detailed documentation of the baseline system of the TAMD FoS. From
these documents, a coherent and documented path to achieve overall FoS
integration will be built and explicitly documented, allowing
traceability ofthreats and requirements. The TMD TEMP will document
critical technical issues and critical technical parameters used as the
basis of the FoS test program. TRW is uniquely qualified to perform
this effort based on its last three years of I&I systems engineering
work in TMD FoS. TRW has provided SI&I effort while continuing to gain
unique technical knowledge and experience in Ballistic and TMD design,
interface requirements, operating procedures, and integration. The
services required to satisfy this new requirement is highly specialized
and tightly interwoven with the SI&I services currently being provided
by TRW. No other source can meet this requirement in a timely manner
without extensive duplication of effort and cost without the intimate
knowledge of, and experience garnered under the current efforts. See
