- Description
- The Marine Corps Systems Command intends to negotiate a sole source contract for Human Systems Integration Analysis Study with Human Systems Incorporated, Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Human Systems Inc. knowledge base and technical experience in this area lends a huge advantage in its ability to provide a means to influence the design of infantry products into an integrated ensemble. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Marine Expeditionary Rifle Squad Program is tasked with integrating and modernizing the Marine Infantry Rifle Squad. Currently there are multiple Program Managers that conduct R&D, procure equipment, and provide Life Cycle and safety support for infantry equipment used by the squad. Since most of these items are procured with specific requirements for a specific item, integration requirements for the Marine Infantryman’s entire ensemble of equipment are often not considered. Influencing the human factors integration of equipment coupled with the diverse and arduous tasks the equipment must endure is a complicated effort that requires unique skills and experience to influence effectively. By conducting this integration effort, the equipment loads become more ergonomic with noticeable increases in capabilities by providing systems engineering and human factors approach into the system architecture. Tasks: The following tasks will be conducted from Contract Date to September 2004. 1) Conduct a Human Systems Integration analysis of the current Marine Rifle Squad equipment suite. Provide recommendations on items of Human Factors Integration and recommendations for improving the ergonomics and human factors of the ensemble. Provide a report on recommendations. 2) Review Government Furnished Information on Modeling and Simulation analysis of the Marine Equipment Ensemble and Assault Load Carriage analysis. 3) Provide Human Systems Integration technical expertise, advice, and experience to assist the Marine Corps Combat Development Command Load Study IPT in their analysis effort to define the optimal load requirements carried by a Marine. 4) Utilizing a furnished suite of equipment, modify and fabricate approved recommended changes to the hardware into a prototype integrated suite of equipment. A list of furnished equipment will be provided. 5) Attend meetings and reviews with the Program Office as required. The Program Office will facilitate access to utilize U.S. Marine Corps Subject Matter Experts and User’s in obtaining information and issues associated with the current ensemble of equipment.
