J -- TECHNICAL AND ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE ENHANCEMENTS/UPGRADES. SOL F19628-98-R-0035 POC Major Henry P. Pandes, COMM.

The Strategic and Nuclear Deterrence Command and Control (SND C2) System Program Office (SPO) is seeking a qualified contractor to provide Engineering Services for the Missile Warning and Space Surveillance Sensors (MWSSS) Engineering Development and Logistics (MEDAL) contract. MEDAL is a follow-on contract to the existing Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (ITW/AA) Sensors Integrated Systems Support (ISISS) contract. This acquisition covers the engineering, design, development, integration, test, and delivery of various software and hardware enhancements and upgrades to the MWSSS system, to include: revision and development of all logistics requirements (technical orders, support equipment, initial spares, training, etc.) and procurement of production and system retrofit kits/documentation resulting from these enhancements and upgrades. Additionally, related logistics and system engineering studies, prototyping, and planning activities will be required. Finally, expect this contract to require integration activities between the MEDAL contract activities, the SND C2 Integrated C2 contract activities and perhaps other contracts. The Government believes that in order to be successful in this endeavor, potential offerors should consider the following: (1) Their in-depth knowledge of and experience with, MWSSS systems and subsystems; (2) Their prior experience in sustaining and upgrading sensors through logistics and engineering activities; (3) Their prior experience in the analysis, design and implementation of software and algorithms to allow for missile warning, space surveillance, and space object identification; (4) Their recent experience in integration of systems; (5) Their ability to obtain security clearance of secret for facility and personnel; (6) Workforce in the Colorado Springs, CO, area where the majority of the effort will be performed. Earlier in this acquisition, it was planned that the Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill AFB, Utah would be the responsible contracting office. The most recent change has the Electronic Systems Center/SND C2 contracting office becoming the responsible organization. Due to this change and the inherent process differences it has become necessary to reexamine the contract schedule. The program office at Peterson AFB along with the SND C2 SPO has established a web site on the Hanscom Electronic RFP Bulletin Board (HERBB) for information updates and will also be issuing a sources sought synopsis in the near future. The web site for HERBB is www.herbb.hanscom.af.mil. The MEDAL Program Manager is Bob Franck, ESC/NDW, Peterson AFB, CO, comm 719-556-2200, FAX 719-556-2318, e-mail franckrl@cisf.af.mil.
