R -- MINE WARFARE (MIW) SYSTEMS ENGINEERING SUPPORT SERVICES SOL N61331-00-R-0025 DUE 072600 POC Contract Specialist, John Miller, (850) 235-5399; Contracting Officer, Carol Dreger, (850) 234-4863 WEB: www.ncsc.navy.mil/contracts/synopsis/syntable.htm, www.ncsc.navy.mil. E-MAIL: Miller_John@ncsc.navy.mil, Miller_John@ncsc.navy.mil. The Coastal Systems Station (COASTSYSTA), Dahlgren Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City, Fl, intends to solicit competitive proposals for providing engineering and technical support for various Mine Warfare (MIW) systems being developed, modified or supported by the COASTSYSTA. The major MIW mission areas include: Surface Mine Countermeasures (MCM), Airborne MCM, Shallow Water MCM, and Mine Development. Major platforms supported include the MCM-1 and MHC-51 Class ships, helicopters, and air cushion vehicles used to support MIW missions. Efforts in MCM will involve concept formulation, system design, systems engineering and integration, installation and checkout, in-service engineering, configuration management, quality assurance, and integrated logistic support for systems from cradle to grave, (i.e. from initial concept development through operational fielding and life cycle support). Required areas of technical expertise include: Command, Control, Communication, Computers and Intelligence (C4I); Precise Navigation; Sonar; Radar; Tactical displays; Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs); Mechanical and Influence Minesweeping; Energetics; Electro Optic programs; Modeling and Simulation; and Life Cycle Management. Efforts in Mine Development will involve systems engineering, integration, documentation, RDT&E, and logistic support methodologies relating to mines and mine components, associated test equipment, and delivery platform interfaces from their initial conception through production and post Fleet deployment. This effort will require support to assist in preparation and analysis of Operational Requirements Documents (ORDs) and Cost and Operational Effectiveness Analyses (COEA's) related to emerging mine systems. This effort further involves the generation of relevant mine ranging data and mine actuation and target damage data, modeling and simulation of mine sensor data, software development, and the generation of mine statistics useful to minefield planners. As priorities and requirements change, flexibility on the part of the successful offeror in providing technical support to the Mine Division and the Mine Improvements Office is of the utmost importance. A five-year cost reimbursement contract, with both term and completion delivery orders, is contemplated. Technical and cost proposals will be required. The successful offeror will require a secret facility clearance. Only contractors who are certified as "U.S. Qualified Contractor" under DoD procedures may receive export-controlled data required for performance of this effort. Interested contractors should submit a completed DD Form 2345 showing status as a U.S. qualified contractor with their request for solicitation. DD Form 2345 can be obtained by calling DLA at 1-800-352-3572. Requests for this solicitation may be made by mail, addressed to the Contract Specialist listed above, or by email KitchenMF@ncsc.navy.mil. In addition to the DD Form 2345, requests should include the prospective offeror's Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code, email address, point of contact and telephone number. Telephone requests will not be accepted. Solicitation will be available for download on or about 9 Jun 2000. Solicitations and any Amendments may be downloaded from http://www.ncsc.navy.mil/Contracts/Tables/soltab.htm. No Solicitations or Amendments will be mailed to offerors. Therefore, it's incumbent upon the potential offeror to be cognitive of the CSS Internet for all releases. However, potential offerors will be notified by email when the solicitation has been released to the COASTSYSTA Internet. Posted 05/18/00 (W-SN456283). (0139)
