The Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) intends to pursue through full and open competition a single award contract that will require a minimum of 20% subcontracting for small; small disadvantaged; and women-owned small business to provide engineering, acquisition, and technical assistance to the Director, Ground Weapons (CBG). Additionally, the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab (MCWL) intends to acquire engineering and analytical support for experimental planning and operations; wargaming; and advanced technology demonstrations that will chart the path for the 21st Century Marine Corps through the use of discrete task orders under this same contract. Potential value of the total contract effort is in excess of $50 million, inclusive of all options. Period of performance is for one (1) base plus four (4) option years beginning 1Q/01, with an estimated annual, sustaining level of effort of 60 man-years (115,200-hrs). Task orders will be issued on an IDIQ basis, inclusive of a fixed price sustaining base, reestablished with each option award, and through discrete task orders established in response to emerging requirements beyond the sustaining level. The contractor is required to provide comprehensive engineering, analytical, acquisition, and management services for a variety of ground weapons programs, including: Infantry weapons, tanks and amphibious assault vehicles, fire support and anti-armor systems, ammunition management, and non-lethal weapons technologies. Each of the support areas will require expertise with all facets of formal program acquisition; applied analysis to support decision-making; business management; OSD-level and Joint programs; systems engineering and design; acquisition logistics, and software applications development. Special emphasis will focus on business analysis, risk modeling, cost/performance assessments, and procurement support. Government site workspaces will not be available to support the sustaining effort and all work will be accomplished at the contractor site. Discrete tasks may be accomplished on-site or at the contractor site, as stipulated in the individual task orders.
