Description

This announcement serves as notice to all potential offerors that on or about 15 August 2001 the Strategic and Nuclear Deterrence Command and Control System Program Office (SND C2 SPO), Electronic Systems Center, Peterson AFB, CO, intends to release Request for Proposal (RFP) F19628-01-R-0022 for the System Engineering and Sustainment Integrator (SENSOR) contract. SENSOR provides for the sustainment and modernization of ground-based sensors whose sustainment is managed by the SND C2 SPO. The primary focus of the SENSOR contract is to provide single system integration support for the SND C2 missile warning (PAVE PAWS, BMEWS and PARCS) and space surveillance (GEODSS (SOTS), Eglin Radar and HAVE STARE) systems. The range radars located at Keana Point, Hawaii, and Ascension Island are identified for future inclusion under the realm of responsibility. Other existing missile warning, missile defense, and space surveillance sensor systems may be added to the scope of the SENSOR contract if they are later added to the sustainment responsibility of the SND C2 SPO -appropriate acquisition approvals will be sought at that time. In addition to engineering and sustainment efforts, the SENSOR scope will also include large upgrades that are identified, approved and funded over the course of the contract. Also, the SENSOR contract will include software version releases, periodic special studies, and supply support. The SENSOR objectives include: 1) ensure long-term Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (ITW/AA) mission availability; 2) support integrated ITW/AA system-of-systems development in concert with Integrated System Command and Control (ISC2) contractors; 3) support program manager/element program manager integration of Early Warning Radar/Upgraded Early Warning Radar (EWR/UEWR) system development; and 4) execute with flexibility and scalability to implement and deliver all requirements. The contract will have a basic period of one year of System Support with 4 annual priced options. The contract will include an Award Term provision that will allow the contractor to earn up to 13 additional years, for a total potential contract length of 18 years. Also, the contract will include priced options for the PARCS Maintenance and Diagnostic Subsystem (M&DSS) upgrade. The solicitation will be available on the internet at the Hanscom Air Force Base Electronic Request for Proposal Bulletin Board (HERBB) Website at http://www.herbb.hanscom.af.mil/rfp.asp.
