E-MAIL: Lafayette Turner, turnerl@eglin.af.mil. NOTICE OF CONTRACTING ACTION The Air Force Development Test Center, Munitions Test Division, is preparing to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an independent analysis support task-ordering contract on or about 25 Sep 99. The Munitions Test Task Ordering Contract (MTTOC) will provide test and evaluation, modeling, and simulation support in the broad areas of weapon technologies and performance in both static and dynamic environments, lethality modeling and analysis of various U.S. and foreign systems, Theater Missile Defense Targets, Critical Mobile Targets, Suppression of Enemy Air Defense targets, enemy weapons delivery systems targets, enemy tactical aircraft targets, warhead/vulnerability performance databasing, seeker/sensor signature collection, multi-spectral signature collection, scene prediction, effectiveness analysis, electronic databasing, host-to-weapon interface analysis, target simulator validation, model generation, model update, weapon survivability, target detection, target tracking, weapon survivability, virtual test analysis, and analysis of alternatives. Performance on this three year contract (beginning about January 2000) with two one-year options will provide support in the following functional areas: test planning; test conduct; instrumentation system analysis; reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition system, weapon system, and battle damage assessment system analysis; electronic databasing; weapon lethality performance; weapon delivery vehicle analysis, signature characterization, design/construction of target surrogates/replicas, countermeasure/foreign materiel acquisition, survivability/vulnerability/effectiveness analysis; test provisioning and analysis methodology development. Specific technical support areas include test, evaluation, and analyses of: air-to-air, surface-to-air, air-to-surface, and surface-to-surface weapons, munitions/submunitions, millimeter wave radar, infrared, dual mode, LADAR, seismic, acoustic, magnetic, hyperspectral, and emerging weapon technology. Test and evaluation will be conducted in tower-mounted environment, flight tests, hardware-in-the-loop simulations, dynamic linear motion test environments, digital models and simulations, and live tests with and without countermeasures. Additional sub-areas include: methodology development and analysis; weapon related component, subsystem, system level test and evaluation; target vulnerability/survivability and effectiveness analyses including target PK/H mapping, target/munitions one-vs-one single shot PK and target/munitions many-vs-many effectiveness analyses for all target configurations, eg, with and without ballistic and/or seeker/sensor countermeasures; signature collection and analysis including target-in-background signature collection; databasing development and maintenance; instrumentation system analysis; target geometric modeling, weapon lethality performance modeling, Congressionally mandated LIVE FIRE test and evaluation modeling; ground/air vehicle non-destructive test planning,conduct, and analysis. Security clearances of TOP SECRET including Special Access Required (SAR) and Special Compartmentalized Information (SCI) clearances are anticipated requirements during the course of this contract. Offerors will be required to establish the ability to meet these requirements as part of their proposals. SECRET NOFORN security restriction applies and must be satisfied at time of award. Close communication and coordination with the using organizations is required on a daily basis. Travel throughout the country is anticipated several times per year. Occasional travel to foreign countries is also anticipated. Response to this Notice of Contract Action is not necessary. All documents concerning this effort can be found on the world wide web at www.eps.gov, under USAF, then AFMC, then AAC. The RFP number will be FO8635-99-R-0033. For further information concerning technical aspects, contact Mr. Herbert Brown at 850-882-5475. For contractual information, contact Mr. Lafayette Turner at 850-882-4141x4552. Firms responding to this synopsis should state whether they are a small business concern as defined by SIC Code 8731 (1000 people). An Ombudsman has been appointed to address concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. The Ombudsman does not diminish the authority of the Program Director or Contracting Officer, but communicates contractor concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals or in the source selection process. Matters of a routine or administrative nature concerning this acquisition should not be addressed to the Ombudsman but rather to the Contracting Officer, Contract Specialist, or the Program Manager identified above. For any other concerns, interested parties may call the AAC Ombudsman, Dr. Mario J. Caluda at (850) 882-5558. See Note(s) 13 and 26. Posted 09/09/99 (D-SN378543). (0252)
