- Description
- The Government anticipates soliciting and awarding an Indefinite-Delivery-Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a three (3) year ordering period as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. This requirement will be publicized under solicitation number W56JSR-16-R-0015. The contract is anticipated to have an order ceiling estimated at $24 Million, for non-commercial/non-personnel/professional services in support of the Software Engineering Center (SEC) Mission Equipment Branch (MEB). Task Orders will be placed against the awarded IDIQ contract on a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Term basis for labor services and Cost (no fee) for travel and other direct costs (ODCs). The requirement will be solicited and awarded under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541512 "Computer Systems Design and Related Service", which has a $27,500,000.00 small business size standard. The SEC MEB supports systems for aviation navigation, communications, ground support avionics, Command and Control, and tactical Air Traffic Control systems during their development and integration into weapon systems. In addition, SEC MEB is the lead Army Tri-Service organization for MIL-STD-1553 engineering, validation and test, and system integration support. The intended IDIQ contract will provide services to support SEC MEB in three primary categories: • Post Production/Post Deployment Software Support (PPSS/PDSS) of thirteen (13) Avionics Systems. This software maintenance support is essential in maintaining aircraft readiness. • System/Software Engineering and Integration : The SEC MEB provides system/software engineering support for avionics systems throughout their life cycle. Following development, the SEC MEB plays a role during the integration of these avionics systems into weapon/aircraft systems such as the Improved Cargo Helicopter (ICH), HH-60L (MEDEVAC), RC-12 Guardrail Common Sensor, OH-58D, AH-64A/D and SOA aircraft (MH-47E and MH-60L). • MIL-STD-1553 : MIL-STD-1553 sets the standards for a communication protocol used between avionics systems and the networks they communicate with. SEC MEB offers engineering experience and expertise on all aspects of MIL-STD-1553 matters, ranging from participating in the writing of MIL-STD-1553 requirements to providing avionics maintenance test systems. The Validation and Test Facility (VALFAC) is a test laboratory that provides independent MIL-STD-1553 Validation and Verification test services for DoD MIL-STD-1553 subsystems in accordance with Tri-Service test standards. Maintaining the accuracy of MIL-STD-1553 requirements and testing avionics systems for compliance with MIL-STD-1553 is necessary for ensuring interoperability between avionics systems. Government facilities will be provided for this effort at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland. The contractor who receives award of this requirement will utilize these facilities as the primary location for management, system, software engineering, and software maintenance work. The Government will provide on-site Contractor personnel with adequate workspace and equipment/material (to include desks, chairs, cabinet space, and telephones), and access to printers, FAX machine, scanners and photocopiers at the Government facility where the work will be performed for contractor use on a rent-free basis. Other performance associated with contractor office administration are allowed to work off-site. The requirement will necessitates travel to other Government installations within the Continental United States (CPONUS) to observe or conduct tests, ensure compatibility of configuration changes and other integration services, investigate and resolve network issues, and to furnish technical guidance and operational support as required. The contractor will be responsible for efficiently arranging all contractor personnel travel commensurate with mission requirements and good traffic management principles, and in accordance with the applicable C4ISR and local command policies as well at the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) and AR 715-9. There will be no reimbursement for local travel within 50 miles in and around the place of performance.
