D -- JOINT INTERFACE CONTROL OFFICER (JICO) SUPPORT SYSTEM SOL N00178-00-Q-3001 DUE 110599 POC sd13, (540)653-7765 WEB: Dahlgren Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, http://www.nswc.navy.mil/supply. E-MAIL: Dahlgren Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, sd13@nswc.navy.mil. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) is requesting information on a Joint Interface Control Officer (JICO) Support System. The JICO Support System shall be an automated tool set that interfaces with existing tactical systems, providing the means to manage all aspects of the Multi-TADIL Architecture (MTA). The JICO Support System shall be designed to develop and administer Multi-TADIL architectures consisting of TADIL A, B, C, J, NATO Link-1, ATDL-1, IJMS etc. The System shall also be ultimately expandable so as not to preclude the inclusion of any new data links to be introduced in the future. The ultimate system shall include the following Planning and Execution Functions: Act as data repository to aid in the gathering of data and information related to the Multi-TADIL architecture. Plan or develop the Multi-TADIL architecture including preplanned contingency responses. Test the Multi-TADIL architecture and preplanned responses. Develop and submit the OPTASK Link in accordance with current versions of CJCS Manual 6120.01 (JMTOP) and MIL-STD 6040 (USMTF). Develop guidance for execution of the Multi-TADIL architecture. Conduct Dynamic Re-planning. Initiate the Multi-TADIL Network(s) and associated voice circuit(s). Manage the Multi-TADIL network(s) and associated voice circuit(s) including specific monitoring of network parameters and performance characteristics. Modify the Multi-TADIL network(s) as required including implementation of preplanned responses. Assist in conducting post operation procedures. The ultimate functionality will be defined in a JICO Support System requirement specification currently being developed and due to be completed in mid-FY2000. One of the precursors to this specification is the final draft of the JSWEG Task Analysis for the Joint Interface Control Officer (JICO) submitted in July of 1998. (See related files at http://www.nswc.navy.mil/supply/sources.htm) Another precursor to the specification will be a set of Operational Sequence Diagrams, currently being developed (available at a date TBD). Neither of these documents should be relied on as representing the final functionality and performance required by the specification but should be used as reference information only. Responses should differentiate capabilities of current systems from those under development and should expound on any expertise possessed by the submitting source to expand or develop a system that would meet the ultimate requirements. This information includes sources, contract vehicles, technical information and approximate cost of government-off-the shelf and commercial-off-the shelf products that can meet the requirements. NO SOLICITATION EXISTS AT THIS TIME. This request is for information only. This inquiry is intended to identify likely commercial products that will fill part or all of the requirements for the JICO Support System and obtain a summary of each product/company's capabilities. As industry may expect to see portions of submitted information in future solicitations, no proprietary information may be submitted. Technical questions in regard to this request can be directed to sd13@nswc.navy.mil. THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT INTEND TO AWARD A CONTRACT ON THE BASIS OF THIS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION OR OTHERWISE PAY FOR THE INFORMATION SOLICITED. The information should reference #N00178-00-Q3001. Information should be sent to Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Building 183, Code SD13, Sources Sought #N00178-00-Q3001, 17320 Dahlgren Road, Dahlgren Virginia 22448-5100. Closing date for information is 5 November 1999. Posted 09/13/99 (W-SN379403). (0256)
