- Description
- JOINT MUNITIONS EFFECTIVENESS MANUALS (JMEMS). Sources are sought to develop, revise and document software, conduct special research projects and produce electronic media and paper for publication referred to as Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manuals (JMEMs). This procurement directly supports the Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME). The products include weapon effectiveness data for air-to-surface and surface-to-surface non-nuclear ordnance and other non-nuclear weapons systems, and weapon effects and tactics training for anti-air non-nuclear ordnance. The munitions effectiveness data and target vulnerability data are produced to support the war fighter, weapon program offices, and research and development. Revisions, changes, updates and graphics work for the tri-service products must be of the same or higher quality and format as the original publications. The contractor shall be required to collect, store and retrieve data such as Reliability, Delivery Accuracy, Systems Characteristics, Target Vulnerability, Target Acquisition, Gun Evaluation and Collateral Damage Estimates used in the production of the tri-service products. Computer models used on this contract to perform mathematical computations to calculate JMEM effectiveness data electronically either have been approved and authenticated by the JTCG/ME or developed by munitions contractors. The contractor shall serve as custodian for the computer models and related computer code. The contractor shall maintain databases and products in geographically separated data storage facilities to assure continuity. The contractor shall verify proper operation of installed programs on computer systems installed on government provided systems. The contractor shall research better methods for developing products, demonstrate the product in various service schools and agencies, maintain a website, review reports, participate/support meetings, perform software engineering tasks, conduct software testing, propose solutions and make recommendations to the JTCG/ME where appropriate. Special research projects shall require experts with advanced degrees and experience in specific fields of research. The specific fields include but are not limited to Engineering (Aeronautical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Computer), Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics and Statistics. Security clearances shall be required of all personnel working on this contract. The contractor shall interface with foreign nationals and be required to modify documents approved by the JTCG/ME for release to foreign governments or revised as specified by the appropriate DoD agency.
