A -- SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS SUPPORT TO UAV TCS PROGRAMS POC Contact Mary Lee Schuck, Phone (301)757-5919 17. -- Systems Engineering and Financial Analysis Support to UAV TCS Programs POC Contact, Mary Lee Schuck, Phone (301)757-5919. The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Md intends to non-competitively procure systems engineering and financial analysis support services to the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Tactical Control System (TCS) Program. The action will involve support coordinated between the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), NSWCDD, and the Naval Center for Cost Analysis (NCCA). This procurement will be executed using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP), based on an estimated value below the $100,000 SAP threshold. Specifically, the procurement provides for assistance in the development of the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) estimate for UAV TCS. This will be a sole source procurement to SUMMIT ENGINEERING GROUP, Waldorf, MD. The contract is anticipated to be a fixed-price level of effort contract, including all necessary organizational conflict of interest clauses required for an effort of this nature. The support is estimated at approximately one-half of a man-year over a twelve-month period of performance. Successful completion of this effort requires intimate knowledge of various UAV related systems and the relationship of UAVs within the air reconnaissance architecture. SUMMIT ENGINEERING GROUP has been identified as possessing unique experience, capabilities, and insight into a broad range of areas related to the UAV TCS program, giving them a broad perspective of the requirements, as well as, access to proprietary information necessary in estimating the LCC of TCS.
