- Description
- AMS SOW 1. Subject: The requirements in support of the Distributed Mission Operations Center (DMOC) Airborne Warning and Control system (AWACS) Mission Simulator (AMS) for the 705th Combat Training Squadron (CTS) at Kirtland AFB, NM, are currently performed by Plexsys, Interface Products, Inc. (Plexsys) a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training, and Support, under contract FA29601-01-C-0242. In order to ensure critical mission requirements continue upon this contract's expiration, 30 September 2011, the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center anticipates soliciting a sole-source 2 year base with 3 one-year options contract with the incumbent sub-contractor, Plexsys, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source. This authority allows for a follow-on contract for highly specialized services when award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of costs and/or unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. This SSS is part of a market research effort to assess industry capabilities that will best address the DMOC needs as further described below. 2. Description of the Efforts Needed Statement Of Work (SOW). The mission of the 705 CTS is to "develop, integrate, and deliver a virtual Air, Space, and Cyber environment for Air Force, Joint, and Coalition combat training, test, and experimentation." This mission requires the 705 CTS to maintain a highly-qualified staff of government and contractor personnel with expertise in exercise design and execution, weapons systems integration and interoperability and Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) technology development. The 705 CTS anticipates continued expansion of the DMOC mission primarily in the areas of seamlessly integrating the Theater Air Control System (TACS) at the operational and tactical levels of warfare, providing robust joint and coalition training, controlled interface and Multi-National Information Sharing (MNIS) operations, testing in realistic operational environments, integrating live and simulation environments, and experimenting with advanced weapons systems and evolving Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs). Utilizing the DMOC and associated resources, the 705 CTS performs training, tests, and experimentation with military personnel operating live weapon systems and high fidelity simulations in a dense synthetic environment. DMOC resources include simulations of airborne systems; surveillance systems; airborne and ground command, control and communication systems; Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAMs); voice communications systems, data link systems; data loggers; network analysis tools; and intelligence systems. The Battlespace is currently capable of simulating up to 50,000 simultaneous air and ground objects. Digital terrain databases include Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED), Digital Feature Analysis Data (DFAD), and Controlled Image Base (CIB) imagery. For requirement details, please refer to the attached draft Statement of Work provided for the AWACs effort. a. Mission Areas: Efforts for the required support are broken into five Primary Mission Areas (examples provided are not exhaustive): 1) Internal Training Events - DMOC internal training events include major exercise events such as Virtual Flag (VF) and smaller scale training events such as Warfighter Focused Events (WFEs), Joint Kill Chain Events (JKCEs), and Air Force Weapons School Training Events (WSTEs). 2) External Training Events - External training event examples include Northern Edge (NE), Fleet Synthetic Training - Joint (FST-J), and Northern Goshawk (NG) exercises. 3) Testing Events -Testing event examples include the Joint Command & Control of Net-Enabled Weapons (JC2NEW) and Joint Fires Coordination Measures (JFCM) joint tests. 4) Experimentation Events - Experimentation event examples include Defense of the Homeland against Asymmetric Missile Attacks (DoHMA) and Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) events. 5) Projects - The 705 CTS manages a large number of Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) and facility improvement projects aimed at improving M&S capability within the DOD and the international community. 3. All responsible sources, including the incumbent contractor, may submit a capability statement in order to demonstrate their ability to fulfill the above requirements within the period of performance. The Statement of Capability (SOC) shall contain the following information: (a) Demonstrate ability to respond to all mission areas as well as integrate all areas; (b) Include a notional plan to assure the availability of an adequate number of qualified personnel to perform the continuous mission requirements and the short term, quick response requirements; (c) Provide a correlation of the skill sets to the mission areas and identify personnel associated with each mission in a table format or similar format; (d) Discuss expertise within the last five years in each of the mission areas.
