INTRODUCTION The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) announces competition for the Joint Effects Model (JEM) program. II. GENERAL INFORMATION SPAWAR expects to make one or more awards addressing five concepts. All awards will be based on technical merit competition. SPAWAR reserves the right to award each concept separately or in any combination and in total. III. REQUIREMENTS FOR TECHNICAL PAPERS The proposal submission process is in two stages. Technical papers are sought from prospective offerors addressing concepts and will be evaluated based on technical merit. Then selected offerors will be invited to submit detailed technical description that will be incorporated in the contract as the Statement of Work (SOW) and Cost Proposal within 30 calendar days of notification by the Contracting Officer. The Government reserves the right to request a proposal based on any, all, part of, or none of the technical papers. 1. Technical papers should be no longer than 15 typed pages all-inclusive (5-pages include cover page, past experience, resumes, cost estimate, and any graphics; 10-pages for technical) and should outline: (a) proposed objectives and approach; (b) expected outcome and impact; (c) preliminary schedule; (d) identification of risks; (e) description of qualifications and availability of principal investigator to conduct the proposed research and development and any other key researchers; (f) provide relevant past experience of no more than 5 contracts (Government or Commercial) within the last 5 years; and (g) estimated not to exceed costs, by concept and in total. A page is defined as 8 ? x 11-inch paper, single sided, one-inch margins, and a typeface of 10-pitch. Technical papers must be submitted electronically by 10:00 a.m. PST on 14 January 2002 and should be unclassified. Technical papers will be evaluated against criteria listed in Section V. Any administrative questions may be addressed to Heidi Radaford at radaford@spawar.navy.mil. Questions of a technical nature may be submitted, by email only, to Kathy Houshmand at kathyh@spawar.navy.mil. 2. Upon favorable notification SPAWAR requests a complete technical portion called the SOW and Cost Proposal. Cost: The financial portion of the proposal should contain cost estimates sufficiently detailed for meaningful evaluation, including cost details for proposed subcontractors. For budget purposes, use an award start date of 1 March 2002. The cost proposal must include the total cost of the project by work breakout structure (WBS), and breakdown of the amounts to reflect the schedule/period of performance provided from the technical paper. Elements should include: a. Proposed skill mix for direct labor cost. b. Estimate of material and operating costs. c. Costs of equipment, based on most recent quotations and broken down in sufficient detail for evaluation. d. Travel costs and time, and the relevance to stated research and development objectives. e. Publication and report costs. f. Subcontract costs and type (portion of work to be subcontracted and rationale) g. Consultant fees (indicating daily or hourly rate) and travel expenses; include a description of the nature of a need for any consultant?s participation. h. Overhead rates. i. Other direct costs. Certifications: Proposals should have Representations and Certifications completed; see attachment. IV. SUBMISSION OF ELECTRONIC PROPOSALS (a) Offerors shall submit their proposals electronically to SPAWAR under the instructions contained in this provision. Offerors shall submit their signed proposals as either scanned (?TIFF?) or ?PDF? documents except for the cost proposal, which shall be an MS Excel document. Electronic copies shall be submitted via the SPAWAR E-Commerce Central (SPAWAR E-CC). Offerors submitting electronic proposals (e-Proposals) shall register in the SPAWAR E-CC and select their own password in order to submit a proposal. Offerors are required to read the ?Submitting a Proposal?? web page found in the SPAWAR E-CC. For information about ?e-Proposal? submission, please visit the SPAWAR E-CC. The URL for the SPAWAR E-Commerce Central is https://e-commerce.spawar.navy.mil. (b) Each electronic file shall also be clearly marked to show the proposal volume number, solicitation number and offeror?s name. E-Proposal files shall not contain classified data. The offeror?s e-proposal shall be in accordance with the requirements set forth below: (1) Adobe Acrobat version 4.01 or greater shall be used to create the ?PDF? files, EXCEPT FOR COST PROPOSALS WHICH WILL BE AN MS EXCEL DOCUMENT. (2) The proposal submission files may be compressed (zipped) into one, self-extracting file entitled ?PROPOSAL.EXE? using WinZip version 6.3 or greater. (3) Cost or Pricing Type Data: All information relating to cost and pricing type data shall be included only in the section of the proposal designated by the Contracting Officer as the Cost Proposal. Under no circumstances shall cost and pricing type data be included elsewhere in the proposal. Paragraph cross-referencing between Cost Proposal paragraphs and technical/management proposal paragraphs is requested to provide clarity. Cost or Pricing Data shall be an ?XLS? (MS Excel) document. (c) Bids and proposals submitted electronically will be considered ?late? unless the bidder or offeror completes the entire transmission of the bid or proposal prior to the due date and time for receipt of bids or proposals. This paragraph (c) supplements the submission, modification and withdrawal of bids and proposals coverage in the FAR 52.212-1 ?Instructions to Offerors--Commercial Items?, FAR 52.214-7 ?Late Submissions, Modifications, and Withdrawals of Bids?, FAR 52.214-23 ?Late Submissions, Modifications, Revisions, and Withdrawals of Technical Proposals under Two-Step Sealed Bidding?, or the FAR 52.215-1 ?Instructions to Offerors--Competitive Acquisition? provision contained in the solicitation.

Such notification will confirm that the offeror's technical paper addresses concept. No debriefings of technical papers will occur. VII. DESCRIPTION The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) is soliciting white papers for innovative research and development support for the Joint Effects Model (JEM) program. Upon fielding in FY05, JEM will represent the standardized DOD Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) hazard prediction and tracking model. JEM will be capable of modeling hazards in a variety of scenarios including: counterforce, passive defense, accidents and/or incidents, high altitude releases, urban NBC environments, building interiors, and human performance degradation. JEM will support defense against Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC), and Toxic Industrial Chemical (TIC)/Toxic Industrial Material (TIM) weapons, devices, and incidents. When used operationally, JEM will reside on and interface with command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I), systems. Warning systems on those C4I systems will use JEM to predict hazard areas and provide warning to U.S. forces within those areas. When used analytically, J EM will assist DOD components to train jointly, develop doctrine and tactics, and assessment of warfighting, technology, materiel development proposals, and force structuring. An unclassified version of JEM will support homeland defense use by Civil Authorities. JEM has achieved Milestone A and is working towards a Milestone B, tentatively scheduled for the first quarter of FY03. A draft Statement of Objectives will be attached as soon as possible. Separate from this BAA, an Independent Model Analysis will be conducted and will support a Government team in the refinement of ORD-based JEM functional requirements and the analysis of source algorithms and data from existing, disparate systems. The JEM functional requirements analysis and supporting algorithm and data will be provided only to the Offeror(s) whose proposal(s) is/are selected. VIII. CONCEPTS SPAWAR is interested in receiving a white paper from each offeror, covering one or more concepts for any or all of the following: 1. JEM System Architecture 2. A web-based infrastructure and support to enable collaboration across engineering, IPT, and development efforts 3. Graphical User Interface (GUI) storyboarding (?virtual ? or ?soft? prototype) 4. Development and System Integration of a working prototype with actual algorithms and data
