R -- CONSOLIDATED SYSTEMS ENGINEERING SUPPORT SOL DMA800-95-R-8081 POC Contact Point: Contract Specialist, Michael Urbain (301) 227-2295, Contracting Officer, Robert L. Ferguson (301) 227-2295 The Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) requires the services of a contractor to provide System Engineering, System Integration, Technical Assistance, and general support in the areas of development; implementation; improvement; transition of the DMA Digital Production System (DPS) and other modernization efforts. DMA mapping, charting, and geodesy (MC&G) products support the United States Military Departments, the Unified and Specified Commands, and other Government Agencies. This DMA Consolidated Support contract (DCS) is an initiative that will consolidate the support previously provided under four separate contracts; Systems Engineering (SE), Systems Integration (SI), System Engineering and Technical Support (SETA), and Geoposition Speciality Engineering (G/SE). System engineering and integration are needed in the support of Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and new Research and Development (R&D) related to DMA's future direction and improved operations. The contractor must have in depth knowledge of the DMA DPS and automated MC&G processing systems, and must be capable of performing, MC&G related activities such as: (a) System Engineering: to include such efforts as modeling and analyzing current and future production capabilities, reviewing DMA goals and recommending research and development efforts, conducting risk analyses, and analyzing and evaluating continuous development efforts (b) Focused Studies: to include such efforts as providing standards development for data structures, format, and coding methods; modeling data reduction and analysis services; software development support; hardware and product prototypes; and hardware and software maintenance (c) Management Support: to include the development of cost estimates for preparing budget documentation in accordance with DoD PPBS criteria, development and implementation of cost and schedule control techniques, and provide assistance on configuration management (d) Procurement Support: to include drafting, preparing in final, and/or verifying various supporting acquisition documents, statements of work, system test plans, quality assurance plans, logistic plans and verification and validation of hardware and/or software (e) System Planning: to include assisting DMA in the following activities: review of long range plans and development of long range system plans, from long range development of the strategic systems plan to strategic plan development of the tactical plan including detailed architectures, goals and objectives; also to develop the operational systems plan detailing goals and objectives (f) System Integration Services: to include the development and execution of program required tasks to economically improve the operability of the production systems in areas most critical to DMA, to assist DMA in the development of procedures and initiatives to satisfy future agency needs (g) Terrain Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Activities: to include such ventures as, (1) Requirements Definition and Analysis of all M&S systems requiring terrain data, identification of specific data resolutions levels and data structure, coding and attribution, (2) Outreach Activities including direct interface with M&S system operators in order to enhance awareness of available terrain products and to test and evaluate prototype terrain products, (3) Standards, Interoperability and Product Design in order to represent M&S terrain interests at approppriate DoD and National Levels, to move MC&G product standards into the M&S worked, and to develop MC&G to M&S exchange standards, (4) Terrain Representation and Production to include development and demonstration of rapid terrain data generation and to develop/adapt/adopt standard representations for dynamic terrain effects. The desired support or the above mentioned efforts will include tasks that may involve the analysis of current production practices, the evolution of future production methods, study of technical and programmatic issues and problem areas, evaluation of existing development projects, and the proposal of new technically sound analytical principles and practices in a professional manner to arrive at quality recommendations which have a clear audit trail and acceptable documentation. DMA will award a single contract for one base year and four option years. In order to be considered for award, an offeror must have approved facilities and personnel for storage and processing of classified data up to the DoD TOP SECRET level. Performance of the contract will require access to sensitive compartmented information (SCI). All requests for the solicitation shall be in writing to the address listed above. Requestors are asked to specify their business size and the SIC code(s) under which they operate. This procurement is being solicited under Standard Industrial Classification Code 7373. Faxed requests will be accepted; however, telephone requests will not. Release of this solicitation is anticipated to be in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1995. (0109)
