Description

The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division, Newport, RI (NUWCDIVNPT) has a requirement to establish an on-site graduate program for a Master of Software Engineering (MSE) degree or an equivalent Master of Science degree. Classes using a mix of Videoteleconferencing technology, Web-based Interactive Distance Learning, CD-ROM computer based training and on-site instruction are envisioned. Desired classes include Models of Software Systems, Managing Software Development, Methods of Software development, Analysis of Software Artifacts, Architectures of Software Systems, Software Process Definition, Introduction to Real-Time Software and Systems, Software Measurement and Seminar in Software Process. The program must also include a group or individual capstone project as part of the MSE requirements. A three (3) year program, beginning with the Fall trimester, 2001, is anticipated. Academic counseling, laboratory, library and other typical university services must be available through a mix of e-mail service, university web-site access and the occasional campus visit. In order to demonstrate technical competence, and, since currently an accreditation board for MSE programs does not exist, the offeror must have a computer engineering or electrical engineering degree program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) or a computer science degree program accredited by the Computer Science Accreditation Commission (CSAC) of the Computing Sciences Accreditation Board (CSAB). Award will be made on a Best Value basis. Offerors will be required to submit technical proposals, including past performance and technical capability information. This acquisition is being processed per FAR part 12. Our department no longer issues solicitations or amendments in paper form. Instead, they may be accessed at our web site http://www.npt.nuwc.navy.mil/contract/. We also provide electronic access in our Bid Room. Estimated RFP release date: 06/16/01; NAICS Code: 611310.
