E-MAIL: Debra Simons, debra.simons@offutt.af.mil. This is a Sources Sought announcement only. This synopsis is issued for the sole purpose of the 55th Contracting Squadron to conduct Market Research in accordance with FAR Part 10. This effort is to seek qualified sources capable of providing engineering services to provide maintenance and enhancement of National Integrated Development System (NIDS) II software. Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) developed NIDS II for U. S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) J52. NIDS II is a UNIX based system used to select and code facilities in the National Target Base (NTB), construct and maintain Desired Ground Zeros (DGZs) in the National DGZ List (NDL), and construct and maintain target island boundaries. NIDS II validates facility data fields, adds geographical targeting information, determines option suitability, applies risk factor coding to DGZs and provides facility/DGZ quality assurance. Upcoming enhancements and development projects are as follows: continuation of software improvement effort by modernizing and upgrading several languages throughout the entire application, this includes conversions of C to C++, Ada 83 to Ada 95, and reengineering all FORTRAN applications to C++/Ada95; enhancing and maintaining a graphical display capability that can be initiated at any step in the NTB or NDL development process to view and edit all planning information, including program results; and develop a generic tool for use in DGZ construction to accurately evaluate blast effects and ground shock vulnerability on deeply buried and hardened targets. All software will be maintained and developed in accordance with DOD-STD-2167A and DOD-HDBK 287, Air Force 300 and 700 series regulations and USSTRATCOM Strategic Administrative Instructions. The contractor must maintain a TOP SECRET facility clearance with storage capacity for TOP SECRET documents and equipment. All contractor personnel shall be a United States citizen and possess a TOP SECRET clearance. Any contractor personnel required to work on the Strategic War Planning System (SWPS) computer system must have a TOP SECRET clearance with SBI and be SIOP/ESI briefed.
