- Description
- The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is responsible for developing an integrated Missile Defense System (MDS), integrating land, sea, air, and space-based assets to defend the United States, deployed forces, and friends and allies from missile attacks. The MDA is further responsible for delivering MDS capability with 24/7/365 support across multiple combatant commands and national leadership for strategic, regional, and operational levels. MDA has a continuing need for the research, development, test, evaluation, and integration of MDS components. These activities include BMDS testing, warfighter training, and operations support for multiple MDA directorates and Combatant Command requirement owners in a Concurrent Test Training and Operations environment. To successfully plan and execute these requirements, MDA requires an agile, high performing team that understands the complexities of a dynamic Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) environment and can integrate the breadth of requirements and performance competencies across: Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Systems Engineering BMDS Mission Operations BMDS Testing Modeling and Simulation The MDA has a requirement for the continued provision of highly specialized services for the following major mission areas: Missile Defense Space Warning Tool (MDST) Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) International Simulation (I-Sim) Threat model development and production of credible threat data Tactical Emulation Software-in-the-Loop Assessment MDST Operations Key last mile integration activities for BMDS Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) architectures Radar support Satellite operations support The intended outcome of this Request for Information is to determine if interested sources capable of satisfying the Agency�s requirements exist; specifically the capability to design, develop, test, and field new capabilities to support MDA commitments to the Warfighter as well as to maintain/sustain the current and future fielded capabilities.� This RFI is issued solely for market research � it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This RFI does not commit the MDA to establish a contract for any supply or service whatsoever.� Further, the MDA is not seeking proposals nor will it accept proposals.

Capability statements must include a feasible schedule with the plan demonstrating the ability to deliver capabilities in conjunction with timelines/events identified above in paragraphs 2.1-2.6. Description of the respondent's recommended approach to transition work from the current capability to ensure successful delivery of capabilities identified above in paragraphs 2.1-2.6. What Government furnished technical data, computer software, computer software documentation, programmatic or operational information the respondent perceives as necessary to perform the requirement? A recommended contract construct for this effort. This includes, but is not limited to, number of contracts (recommended breakout of work), contract type, and incentive and fee structures. Include the rationale for each recommendation.
