E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Contracting Officer, John, SSCCONTRACTS@nrlssc.navy.mil. The Space Sciences Division of the Naval Research Laboratory has a requirement for research and development efforts directed toward the design, development, performance, analysis and documentation of Space Science projects and experiments which may include, but may not be limited to, designing, creating, fabricating, integrating, testing, operating and documenting sophisticated software related to the Synthetic Scene Generation Model (SSGM) currently being developed for the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO). General efforts required under this solicitation will include (a) identification, access, use and packaging of BMDO data for specific systems engineering applications, (b) development of analysis tools targeted to BMDO system issues, (c) exploitation of standard modeling assets to support on-line analysis, (d) analysis and evaluation of models and simulations,(e) verification and validation activities, and (f) participation in documented studies, technical presentations, publications, and authoritative assessments and evaluations. Specific Tasking Areas included under this solicitation are: (a) Infrastructure -- which will include code maintenance, configuration and release management, user support, and customer meetings and coordination; (b) Phenomenology Upgrades and Initiatives, which will include expansion and enhancement of the current phenomenology models and databases; (c) Application Enhancement, which will require efforts toward improving and expanding the utility of the SSGM software to meet user requirements and enhance its ease-of-use; (d) Measurement Assimilation, which will include incorporating target and background measurements to validate models, improve output fidelity, and sustain relevance to the phenomenology community; and (e) Architecture Evolution, which will include evolving the basic architecture of the SSGM code to achieve greater efficiency in its development process, improving fidelity in products, and enhancing speed. A detailed statement of work, personnel requirements, and contract data requirements will be included in the solicitation file. The anticipated period of performance for any resulting contract will be five years. This solicitation is 100% set-aside for small businesses.
