Description: Product Director Target Identification and Meteorological Sensors (PM TIMS) is contemplating award of a single 3 year Time & Materials IDIQ contract to provide technical and software development support for the Meteorological Measuring Set-Profiler (MMS-P) and Meteorological Measuring Set (MMS) Systems. Delivery Orders will be issued for each task. This effort is intended to be follow-on to contract W15P7T-04-D-L204 which is expiring in September 2009. Smiths Detection, 2202 Lakeside Blvd, Edgewood MD 21040-1102 is the Original Equipment manufacturer of the systems and software. The Government doesn't possess a complete Technical Data Package to include engineering drawings and final source code. Because of the above, the Governments current assessment is that only Smiths Detection can satisfy this requirement. Consequently, if no additional sources are identified that can meet the Government requirements, a sole source contract will be awarded to Smiths under the authority of FAR 6-302-1, Only One Responsible Source. Award of that contract is anticipated to be no later than Sep 09. This requirement will include activities for the preparation, review, and update of software, to include mesoscale meteorological models and software post processing, technical documentation, preparation of independent assessments and studies, engineering services and the coordination of hardware/software development activities and associated integration. In addition, the contractor will provide technical support and participate in demonstrations, technical evaluations, testing and fielding. Specific expertise of the system is required to perform the engineering support for this effort. Interested parties responding to this RFI should 1) have a strong background and detailed knowledge in meteorology and Field Artillery; 2) have a proven and demonstrated Profiler system integration capability; 3) have a demonstrated and detailed working knowledge of the MMS and MMS-P systems; 4) have a proven and demonstrated capability in complex systems hardware and software architecture with emphasis on meteorology and Field Artillery 5) Possess Secret Security Clearances. Interested parties possessing the capabilities outlined above are requested to provide the following information: 1.Corporate capabilities, past and current relevant performance information, available facilities and assets. 2.Technical and management approach for executing a follow on program. 3.An assessment of the associated risks for this program and respective risk mitigation approaches. 4.Name, telephone number, fax number, street address and e-mail address for Program, Technical and Cost points of contact information.
