- Description: This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE; there is no solicitation available at this time. No response will be provided to requests for a solicitation. THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE IS PUBLISHED FOR MARKET RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY. BACKGROUND. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA) mission is to safeguard America and its allies from Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high yield explosives) by providing capabilities to reduce, eliminate, and counter the threat, and mitigate its effects. DTRA’s Research and Development (RD) Enterprise is the focal point for identifying and developing innovative technologies to combat WMD and is responsible for testing and demonstrating emerging technologies to be adopted by the Services, Combatant Commands and other agencies. Following guidance and operational concepts of senior DOD officials, the RD Enterprise provides solutions across the full range of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) WMD technologies. In November 2005, RD established the Technology Innovation Office (RD-INO) to search for and execute strategic investments in innovative technologies for combating WMD. In September 2008, a Systems Engineering (SE) element was integrated in order to better capture mission and customer needs relating to emerging technologies and to provide life-cycle systems engineering processes to improve product development. Support will consist of approximately 20 FTE providing systems engineering and CWMD subject matter experience to facilitate and enable the development of technical innovation projects and high risk emerging technology research across the full range of CBRNE WMD technologies. The following are typical task areas: Systems Engineering: a) Assist in the identification, capture, and definition of capability needs to be translated into operational requirements and decomposed into functional and performance requirements. b) Translate the outputs of the requirements analysis into alternative design solutions and support the selection of a final design. c) Support the development of test plans to include system, acceptance, security, qualification, and certification test plans as well as information assurance criteria, to include accreditation and certification. d) Support the testing and demonstration of the integrated components in its intended operational environment to include developmental testing and evaluation, risk monitoring, identification of external system interfaces, and interoperability assessments. e) Assist in determining the producibility and manufacturability of the system and in the assessment of Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) and Manufacturing Readiness Levels (MRL) to assure successful program transition. f) Support development of an SE Process Asset Library (PAL), templates, and tools for use by DTRA and its contractors to support the above systems engineering tasks CWMD Subject Matter Expertise a) Possess Science and Technology (S&T) expertise in combating WMD to include knowledge of CBRNE technologies to support the life-cycle development of major Counter-WMD and situational awareness programs and campaigns at the agency level as well as innovative, high risk programs at the Directorate level. b) Be able to provide key CBRNE subject matter experts and expertise to support DTRA programs as directed by the Contracting Officer for project execution. Sources sought responses shall reflect corporate information and a capability summary reflecting experience related to the above areas. Responses shall indicate whether the above described services are available through an existing government contract and if so, identify the contract and provide contact data for the Government point of contact managing that contract. Responses are to be limited to no more than two (2) pages. Company information should include qualifications and experience in work of this nature, point of contact, phone number, fax number, e-mail address, CAGE code, DUNS Number, business size, and small business classification (8(a), HUBZone, etc.), if applicable. Any information submitted in response to this Sources Sought Notice is strictly voluntary. This synopsis is for information planning purposes and the Government will not pay or otherwise reimburse respondents for information submitted. Responses shall be submitted no later than 5 P.M. ET, Friday, 11 September 2009. Electronic responses are required and shall be submitted to Ms. Gena Leake, Contract Specialist, gena.leake@dtra.mil. All documentation shall become the property of the Government. Unless otherwise stated herein, no additional information is available. Requests for the same will be disregarded. There is no commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, to make award or awards, or to be responsible for any monies expended by any interested parties in support of any effort in response to this Sources Sought Notice. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit or award a contract.
