A -- ENHANCED COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS SUPPORT SOL DSWA01-97-C-0167-P00005 POC Damon Q. McClure, Negotiator, (703)325-1198, Donald L. Shires, Jr., Contracting Officer (703)325-6684T WEB: Click here to access the DTRA Current Solicitations, http://www.dswa.mil/dswaproc/curproc.htm. E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contract specialist via, damon.mcclure@dtra.mil. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency intends to award a sole source modification to Maxwell Physics International (MPI) for an increase in computational support to the DTRA Plasma Opening Switch and Plasma Radiation Source R&D programs. Specifically, MPI will augment work currently being performed under DSWA01-97-C-0167. The objectives are to document and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of key POS and power flow modeling codes, and to investigate possible improvements in existing cosdes that will enable them to do better modeling to resolve physics problems. Currently, MPI is the incumbent on DSWA01-97-C-0167 and possesses the knowledge and expertise to perform the tasks required in a reasonable cost and time. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Contractors capable of offering their service must respond within 15 days of the date of this notice by submitting specific technical capability to provide this service. All responses received within 15 days after publications of this synopsis will be considered by the government solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
