Small business concerns are to outline their experiences in the following: Engineering Support/CAD/CAM Design / 3D Modeling / Drafting Support: Support for mechanical, electrical, systems and network engineering. Provide for the design and development of C4ISR systems, sub-systems, components, installation kits, and systems-of-systems for integration into ground-based, vehicular, shelter, airborne, watercraft, soldier and dismounted platforms. This includes both tactical and non-tactical platforms, and fixed and re-locatable sites, including the engineering and design required to perform platform modifications required for the purposes of the integrated C4ISR system. Design efforts include Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) / 3D Modeling / Drafting efforts using predominantly Pro/Engineer / Creo 3D Solid Modeling, and the extension of CAD into additional aspects of the quote mark design-to-build quote mark process, to include Engineering Data Management, Configuration Management, Computer-Aided-Manufacturing (CAM) programming, and 3D virtual reality / virtual prototyping. Fabrication/Rapid Prototyping and Technology Insertion/Systems Integration Support: Support for mechanical and electrical fabrication, assembly, and integration efforts is intended, covering the development and product realization of integrated C4ISR prototype shelters, vehicles and other tactical systems. This ranges from developmental concepts, to prototypes and low-to-intermediate rate efforts; installation of all equipment, components / assemblies and shelter/vehicle platform modification kits; fixed and relocatable sites; and executes shelter, vehicle and other platform and site modifications as required for the integrated system. This includes natural extensions of the fabrication, assembly, and integration processes including but not limited to efforts such as production planning and materiel resources planning. Logistics Support: Support for a wide variety of integrated logistics support services is intended. This includes materiel control and inventory management functions; packaging / kitting / shipping / receiving operations; operation of government owned vehicles / material handling equipment; field support / repair and maintenance / field deliveries; training; and publications preparation. This support also includes a significant amount and high volume of time-critical materials purchasing for C4ISR project integration projects, which are by their nature highly materially-intensive. Test and Evaluation Support: Support for the test and evaluation of C4ISR systems, components, and the like is intended. This includes MIL-STD-810 type environmental / climatic testing, as well as quality-related inspection and testing. Quality Management / Assurance Support: All associated efforts described above shall be performed under the auspices of the PI&TD's ISO-9001:2008 certified quality management system.
