A -- COOPERATIVE ENGAGEMENT CAPABILITY (CEC) DESIGN AGENT SERVICES SOL N00024-99-R-1110 DUE 031699 POC Contact Mary Ann Keyser, Contract Specialist, SEA 0251K, (703) 602-8000, extension 515 The Naval Sea Systems Command has a requirement for Design Agent (DA) efforts that provide for development, deployment and support of Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) functionality for the U.S. Navy. Contracts will be awarded to Raytheon Systems Company, Command, Control and Communications Systems, St. Petersburg, Florida and Lockheed Martin Corporation, Moorestown, New Jersey, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) "only one or limited number of responsible sources and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." Raytheon will: continue to provide technical support for CEC baselines 1 and 2 and enhancements to CEC communications capabilities; design, develop, and support CEC baseline 2.1, including the Cooperative Engagement Processor (CEP), all 2.1 software, and CEC integration with SSDS MK 2; and continue the development and delivery of the Data Distribution System (DDS), inclusive of changes necessary for baseline 2.2 CEP design. Raytheon will also continue to provide CEC system level DA services, including cost reduction initiatives, feasibility studies, demonstrations, ECPs, COTS/NDI management, incidental hardware, and advance demonstration support for emerging applications. As previously synopsized, Raytheon will also provide CEC equipment repair and Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP). Lockheed Martin, as the source responsible for incorporating Theater Ballistic Missile Defense (TBMD) requirements into the AEGIS Weapon System, will lead the implementation of AEGIS area TBMD into CEC as baseline 2.2, by providing CEP DA responsibility for the design, development, and support of the CEC baseline 2.2 CEP computer program. Lockheed Martin will also, in conjunction with Raytheon, interface the CEP with the DDS. Both companies will participate as members of the CEC "Navy Review Team", which will provide Government oversight and peer review of new CEC design efforts and assist in the resolution of interoperability problems with other Navy combat systems. The Navy Review Team will also include, as associate members of the team, other DoD prime contractors having responsibility for systems being integrated with CEC. Together, the Industry members of the Navy Review Team will serve as an "Industry Council" to advise the Navy on CEC integration and interoperability problems. Raytheon and Lockheed Martin will also participate on a Navy-led team to assess the top-level requirements for future architectural design paths for CEC in a Battle Force Context. As part of this effort, this team will serve as an advisor for demonstrations, experiments and feasibility studies concerning future applications of CEC; members of the team will participate as designated by the Navy in the definition, conduct & assessment of such initiatives. The Navy has also initiated planning for full and open competition for future CEC work. That effort will be synopsized separately once the acquisition strategy has been finalized.
