Background "CBD Sources Sought Synopsis for Subsurface Engineering and Logistics Support (SEALS) program. 17. The United States Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center Reconnaissance Systems Program Office Contracting (ASC/RAKPM), Wright-Patterson AFB OH, is requesting proposals for sustainment, upgrade, and new array installations for the Air Force Technical Applications Center's (AFTAC) subsurface nuclear treaty monitoring system. This effort is designated as the Subsurface Engineering and Logistics Support (SEALS) program. AFTAC's worldwide subsurface system includes seismic, hydroacoustic, and infrasonic sensors; digitizers; intrasite communications; field computer systems for operation, maintenance, and analysis; a headquarters system at Patrick AFB FL (PAFB) for unclassified and classified data processing, analysis, reporting, and archiving; and backup headquarters and training systems located at Goodfellow AFB TX. Scope of the overall SEALS effort can be broken into three main areas: 1) the sustainment of current and future Subsurface systems (including Depot level maintenance, supply support, systems engineering, configuration management, computer hardware and software maintenance, and equipment modifications); 2) the production and deployment of subsurface system upgrades; and 3) the installation of new subsurface arrays. SEALS is an IDIQ contract, and Delivery Orders for individual in-scope work efforts will be added throughout the life of the contract. At this time, ASC/RAKPM is seeking sources with excellent capabilities and past performance with respect to both upgrade and sustainment of similar systems. Contractor teaming is encouraged. Small Business participation will be required. A cost plus award fee/award term contract is planned, although firm fixed price, time and material, or other contract types may be associated with specific contract line item numbers (CLINs). Proposers are requested to submit an interim (unsigned) proposal by 19 Jan 00. Oral presentations will be held during the week of 7-11 Feb 00. Final (signed) proposals are due 25 Feb 00.
