Description

Counter Remote Control Improvised Explosive Device (RCIED) Electronic Warfare (CREW) Spiral 2 (CREW-2) is a competitive acquisition for the award of a Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Firm Fixed Price (FFP) production and Time & Materia ls (T&M) contract. The Government may elect to award a single delivery order contract or a multiple delivery order contract to a second source. The planned first production run is 500 units and the guaranteed minimum quantity of the planned IDIQ contract is 100 units to be delivered no later than 270 DAC, FOB origin. However, the planned first production order is anticipated to be 675 Spiral 2 CREW systems delivered in the late FY05 timeframe. Additional production units at planned quantities of 2025 uni ts and 1800 units are expected to be priced and available for ordering through FY07. A provision for a higher quantity (surge capacity) of units up to 10,000 (total ceiling) will be made available on the IDIQ ordering arrangement through FY09. Award(s) w ill be made as a BEST VALUE determination, made to the best overall proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government. The acquisition of the Spiral 2 CREW system will be a full and open competition, with offerors submitting proposals based on the Government defined Statement of Objectives (SOO) and Performance Based Specification (PBS). The Spiral 2 CREW evaluation will b e accomplished using formal source selection policies and procedures. The MNC-I Operational Needs Statement (ONS) addresses the Iraqi theater and focuses principally on vehicular mounted Counter RCIED. These systems must be capable of providing adequate protective Electronic Bubble for vehicles, dismounted operations in c onjunction with vehicles and for fixed sites. These counter threat device designs, that may be proposed, must consider currently known and anticipated future RCIEDs. They must be capable of providing coverage over the broad frequency range of high and lo w power threats. The Spiral 2 CREW systems must achieve interoperability and synchronized operations with Blue Force Communications and other fielded ECM Devices. The systems must conform to the limited vehicle power constraint of 12/24 Volts. The syste ms must be environmentally rugged and be waterproof, dust proof and operate in temperatures of 20-150 degrees Fahrenheit. The systems must provide a field test scanner for pre-operational checks and be extremely user friendly for on the fly regional softw are load changes by soldiers. The systems must be easily installed and easily maintained and supported in a wartime environment. Recognizing the adaptive nature of the threat and the need to provide rapid capabilities to the field, the Spiral 2 performance objectives are expressed in terms of improvement and expanded performance over the current Spiral 1 Warlock systems. A Spiral 2 performance specification will be used for this acquisition. The goal oriented performance specification gives industry the greatest latitude possible in design solutions that meet the Spiral 2 requirements. The Government will identify the threats that must be defeated and offerors must demonstrate defeat capabilities with a prototype in a laboratory and subsequent open field test during the source selection phase. The two demonstrations (laboratory test and field test) of equipment performance during source selection in conjunction with a full technical and cost proposal evaluation will determine which offeror provides the best value solution to the Government. The challenges to industry are as follows: -Produce/field a universal one system that addresses the full spectrum of RCIED threats -Deliver increased performance in frequency coverage and minimum protective radius distance -Design a system that provides flexibility for future capability growth -Provide a common training and supportability approach -Achieve SWAP improvements -Provide adequate production facilities to meet schedule and surge capacity needs -Balance performance & sustainment needs with an affordable solution The governments minimum requirement is as follows: Freq Spectrum (xMHz  yMHz) Simultaneous Threats x# Effective Range x Meters Physical Parameters (SWAP) Tactical Applications Programmability Modes of Operation Indicators and Switches Remote Control Box Platform Integration Antenna Pattern Coverage Reliability (MTBF) Interoperability  Comm Systems Interoperability  Counter RCIED Environmentals Built-in-Test (BIT) Field Test Set Zeroize Function Anti-Tamper Safety
