A -- DETAILED CHARACTERIZATION OF THREAT SYSTEMS AND THEIR TACTICAL USAGE SOL DASG60-00-0013 POC ROBBIE H. PHIFER, Contract Specialist, (256) 955-3441 The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to effect a market survey to determine whether potential sources exist to support the Space and Missile Defense Battle Lab (SMDBL) for detailed characterization of threat systems and their tactical usage. These high fidelity characterizations would include system performance, manufacturing techniques, 6 degree of freedom motion specifications, target/object signatures, and associated penetration aid designs and performance characteristics. These threat systems consist of short to intercontinental range ballistic missiles including submarine launched ballistic missiles, air-breathing tactical missile systems and aircraft, for both current threats as well as projected threats. In many cases, these threat descriptions have been developed using little published intelligence data, thus requiring intelligence approval community review for validation. The nature of the various ongoing ballistic missile defense acquisition programs forces threat scenario development into time critical schedules. A primary objective of this contract is to provide an intelligence validatible threat specification for use in a contentious environment and within the constraints imposed by certain acquisition program milestones. A current SECRET facility clearance with NATO, CNWDI, Restricted Data, Formerly Restricted Data and NOFORN will be required. Key personnel require TS/SCI access for coordination with intelligence community in performance of this effort. This action is not open to allied participation at the prime contract level. The Standard Industrial Classification Code applicable to this effort is 8731 with a small business size standard of 1000 employees. Firms responding are requested to identify whether they are small business, nonprofit organization, or large business. Interested firms should submit written qualifications to U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command, ATTN: SMDC-CM-CT/Robbie Phifer. Requests must be received in this office within fifteen (15) days from the publication of this announcement. This synopsis is advance notice for information and planning purposes only and is not a request for proposals. Telephone or facsimile inquiries will not be accepted. See Note 25.
