- Description
- NA The BAA for Wide Area Detection is modified to permit the use of contractor operated aircraft and to extend the proposal due date until 28 January 2002. The proposal submittal information and evaluation criteria have been modified to implement these chang es. Prospective offerors are encouraged to access the entire BAA (solicitation DAAB15-02-R-0005, file: WA_BAA-R1) via the Army Business Opportunity page at http://abop.monmouth.army.mil. The new sections follow. PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL - Proposals shall consi st of three primary sections: Technical, Management and Cost. The Technical section shall be no more than 25 pages of a concise description of the technology(s) being proposed. The technical section shall include the objectives of the proposed effort, the technical issues requiring resolution to accomplish the objectives, and the approach to resolving these issues. At minimum, the following information is required: System description and capabilities; Data recording devices and their capabilities as well a s recording media and format(s); Operational support requirements during flight tests; Integration of system onto NVESD test aircraft (Twin Otter, UH-60, or UH-1); or contractor operated aircraft. While the Government would prefer that sensors be integrat ed onto NVESD aircraft to permit simultaneous recording of data from co-located sensors, bidders may propose usage of contractor owned aircraft if clear and convincing benefit can be demonstrated to the Government in terms of cost and schedule. Timeframe d uring which system would be available; Cost of a duplicate system; Description of current or past experience in remote sensing. The Management portion (10 pages maximum) shall include proposed team organizational structure and curriculum vitae for the Proj ect Manager and other key personnel. The Cost portion shall consist of a cost breakdown of the effort being proposed in a manner that organizes the technical approach into meaningful phases allowing the Government to contract for all or portions of a techn ical proposal. While no specific format is required, cost proposals should delineate specific direct (labor, material, travel, ODC etc) and indirect costs related to this effort. Proposals are due by 28 January 2002 at 1400 hours Eastern Standard Time and must be submitted to CECOM Acquisition Center-Washington, ATTN: AMSEL-AC-WB-B (Melanson), 2461 Eisenhower Avenue, Room 1126, Alexandria, VA 22331-0700. All proposals shall be submitted in Microsoft Office Software (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) format or Adob e pdf format via electronic media (CD-ROM, Iomega Zip (100/250 disks)). No proposal hard copies shall be provided, however, a cover letter that contains the offeror's street address as well as a company point of contact with current email address, telephon e number and fax number, shall be included. EVALUATION CRITERIA - Proposals will not be evaluated against each other since they are not submitted in accordance with a common work statement. Evaluations of the proposals will be conducted using the followin g four criteria (listed in order of importance): 1. The degree to which the proposal addresses the technical goals of this BAA for wide area detection performance with emphasis on operability above 1000 feet, sensor swath greater than 500 feet, buried mine and wide area munition detection performance or the proposal demonstrates, clear and convincingly, that it is a significant breakthrough over existing systems. The following may be considered under this factor: the overall scientific and technical merits of the proposal; the extent to which the proposed approach offers significant potential improvements in comparison to current technologies being used or developed; the degree to which the proposed technology's phenomenology will be implemented in a hardwar e or software prototype and assessed in field testing (as opposed to testing in a laboratory environment or paper study). The novelty or uniqueness of the ideas /approaches will be given special consideration if based on sound scientific principles with supporting data. 2. The offeror's understanding and implementation of the technical and operational issues associated with integration on NVESD aircraft or contra ctor owned/operated. 3. The qualifications, capabilities and related experience of the proposed principal investigator, team leader, and other key personnel and adequacy of proposed facilities. 4. The reasonableness, realism and affordability of the propo sed costs and fees for the proposed effort. Questions concerning contractual, cost, or pricing format may be directed to the Contracting Officer, Ms. Peggy Melanson (703)325-6096 or email at Peggy.Melanson@cacw.army.mil. Questions on technical matters shou ld be referred to George Maksymonko (703) 704-2420 or george.maksymonko@nvl.army.mil. All interested parties are encouraged to contact the cited individuals at any time prior to proposal submission in order to obtain clarifications and guidance.
