- INTRODUCTION Requirement Owner: Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division (NAWCWD) Point Mugu, CA Purpose of Sources Sought Technical Description: NAWCWD intends to award a sole source contract to ComGlobal Systems, Inc. for engineering services in support of Test and Evaluation (T&E) and systems engineering activities related to Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) and Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Programs at Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF). The purpose of this sources sought is to determine if there are other companies capable of providing the required services in a competitive procurement. Anticipated Timeframe: Estimated RFP release: July 2014 Estimated Award: November 2014 Estimated Period of Performance: November 2014 through November 2019 Places of Performance: Approximately 90% of the total effort will be performed at PMRF, HI. 90% of that work will be completed at the Government site and the remaining 10% will be completed off-site. 10% of the total effort will be performed at Point Mugu, CA with the same breakdown of 90% of the work taking place on Government sites and 10% taking place offsite. DISCLAIMER: THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUESET FOR PROPOSAL. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. PROGRAM BACKGROUND This requirement is for engineering services to be provided in support of Test and Evaluation (T&E) and systems engineering activities related to Aegis BMD and Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Programs at PMRF. Aegis BMD is one weapon system in the layered defense provided for the United States and its deployed forces, friends and allies against ballistic missiles of all ranges in all phases of flight. This defense is provided through an integrated Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS), developed by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). MDA is responsible for fulfilling the goals set out in the National Missile Defense Act of 1999 in deploying "as soon as is technologically possible an effective National Missile Defense system capable of defending the territory of the United States against limited ballistic missile attack". In support of this goal the Aegis BMD program needs to conduct long-range missile intercept testing in the Pacific. To ensure an acceptable level of range safety during the tests, the MDA requires adequate situation awareness over a wide enough area to support tests with ballistic missiles. Radar surveillance systems currently in use at the various missile-testing sites are inadequate to conduct range safety surveillance over such a large area. This is a follow-on contract to N68936-12-C-0109. The existing contract is a CPFF type contract awarded to ComGlobal Systems, Inc. on a sole source basis. Any previous/existing contract information is available at http://foia.navair.navy.mil. REQUIRED CAPABILITIES Aegis BMD Flight Test Missions conducted at the Pacific Missile Range Facility requires real time operational support for maritime situational awareness during scheduled test periods. The PMRF Range Safety Officer requires critical surveillance information in order to conduct these missions safely. A system utilizing validated, tested software and analysis algorithms is needed to meet this requirement. The system must provide features tailored for existing range surveillance requirements and be customizable to add new range safety capabilities as described below. The system shall successfully validate software and algorithms to receive, read, and process contact report data from multiple formatted sensor certified information sources (IBS/Integrated Broadcast System, AIS/Automated Identification System, COP/Common operating Picture, aircraft Radar Surveillance, USCG Sensor Data, etc.) received from multiple sources such as SIPRNET, the Coast Guard Tactical Information Network, the Embedded National Tactical Receiver (ENTR), Manual data entry, and others. The system shall implement proven embedded data fusion algorithms that support the processing tasks to generate a high confidence track database that can be displayed in real time to show violations of hazard/keep out range safety areas. System shall correlate into tracks near-real-time contact reports that contain positional and parametric information from multiple sensors and data sources, and shall fuse tracks from multiple sources (such as AIS and IBS) to provide a more informative and coherent situation awareness picture. The system shall have the capability to process contact reports over a wide maritime area (~ 1000 nautical miles) around PMRF. This information is then used to determine if vessels are violating the Notices to Mariners (NOTMAR) areas. This PMRF operational area is monitored beginning at least three days before each flight test mission to develop tracks and to project the positions of critical surface contacts in hazard areas to an estimated location at launch time. The system shall provide a variety of unique and customized tools, including some that are specifically developed to support the missions at PMRF. The extensive analysis and display tools available in the system shall be used to create a coherent and accurate maritime picture and can predict movement and location of vessels in the area of interest. The system shall import the results from the PMRF hazard analysis tool directly into its Exclusion Zone functionality. System Exclusion Zones shall provide an audible alarm when any vessel crosses into or remains in the designated NOTMAR and hazard areas. All data processed by the system shall be archived in the native raw format in which it was received so it can be re-played to perform post-mission analysis. A relational database shall be utilized to ensure persistent track information. Queries shall be executed on the database to retrieve track details or reconstruct the entire PMRF range status for any given time. The system shall be able to coordinate range surveillance with P-3 or HC-130 aircraft in real time by providing cueing information to help the aircraft locate vessels in the hazard areas, exchanging Operational Notes (OPNOTES) via OTCIXS UHF satcom, and receiving contact reports for non-emitting vessels via AIS nets. The system shall be able to interface with a Tactical V(14) Replacement (TVR-1) to communicate with the aircraft over SATCOM. The proposed contractor shall be able to replicate the situational awareness capabilities of the PMRF Battle Management Interoperability Center (BMIC) at a remote facility. The identical classified and unclassified data sources that are received in the BMIC shall also be accessible at a remote site to serve as a backup to the BMIC and conduct range surveillance remotely if the BMIC is unable to receive data or is non-operational. ELIGIBILITY The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is 541330 with a Small Business Size Standard of $27M. The Product Service Code is R425. Businesses of all sizes are encouraged to respond; however, each respondent must clearly identify their business size in their capabilities statement.
