70 -- SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE, TRAINING SOL N00178-99-Q-0015 DUE 060399 POC Barbara M. Walters, SD18, 540-653-4904 or E.J. Carter, SD18, 540-653-4504 E-MAIL: Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, waltersbm@nswc.navy.mil. The Government intends to purchase on a sole source all or none basis the following Visual Simulation Environment software, maintenance and training manufactured and provided by SES Inc. of Austin, Tx: (1) Software P/N WP-SO33, SES/workbench system to include: SES/design, SES/compiler, SES/rtl, SES/workbenchNT, SES/query interpreter, and SES/statistics navigator (1 each); (2) P/N WP/M-SO33, SES/workbench Maintenance (1 year); (3) P/N WT1A, SES/workbench Introductory Training for three (3) individuals (3 each). Lockheed Martin (LM) is the prime contractor for the N93 Advanced Launching Systems Branch. To fulfill their tasks to N93, LM is currently using this SES Workbench communication and network modeling software. Since LM has already developed numerous models for N93, it is imperative that the government maintain 100 percent system compatibility. LM provides these models as deliverables to their Government contract tasking. This visual simulation environment must allow for models of complex systems to be built and executed graphically. It shall be used for performance analysis, functional verification and validation of requirements and system design. This software must be capable of solving architectural and design problems involving hardware, software and network elements. This simulation environment must offer software extensions that provide for the sharing of models without sharing proprietary information. This software must contain pre-defined graphical building blocks for queues; management of active, passive and logical resources; transaction flow control; concurrency and synchronization; and submodel management. Execution of models must have an animation capability thus showing the flow of transactions through the graphs, while displaying dynamic statistic inspectors, and allowing for fine-grained debugging control over the simulation. Manual and automatic control of warm-up and run-length period is also required. This software must be somewhat easy to program, requiring little knowledge of formal programming languages. This software must have a graphical user interface and the capability of generating commonly desired reports. This software must be capable of executing on at least the following computing platforms: SunOS Sparc 4.1.x; SunOS Solaris 2.5 and 2.6; HP 9000/700; HP-UX 10.x; IBM RS/6000 AIX 4.1; and the IBM RS/6000 Power PC AIX 4.1. Maintenance shall consist of unlimited telephone or e-mail technical support during SES business hours: 8:00AM to 7:00PM CST, Monday through Friday, product maintenance releases, and base product upgrades. SES's policy is to support two releases of its software at all times-the current release plus the immediately preceding release. Training shall be provided at the vendor's site in Austin, Tx. and shall consist of Introduction to SES/workbench (3 days). Course Description: This three-day intensive course concentrates primarily on SES/workbench concepts and features. The course emphasizes hands-on use of Workbench to specify system behavior and structure. Design problems are presented which detail the creation and simulation of system models. Course Objective: This course explains the basic concepts and features of the Workbench tool, enabling the user to solve moderately difficult modeling problems. Prerequisite: This course is designed and strongly recommended for new or prospective users interested in learning how to utilize the capabilities of Workbench. Knowledge of C programming language is useful, but not required. Course Topics: (1) Introduction to Workbench (2) Concepts Basic to Workbench (3) Animating with the Workbench Animated Simulator (4) Queuing Disciplines (5) Declarations (6) Instancing Options (7) Dimensioning Nodes (8) Methods (9) SES/sim Language Concepts (10) Simulation Control (11) Parameterization (12) Statistics (13) Catalog Manager and Multi-Module Models. This software must maintain complete system compatibility with LM. This requirement shall be processed under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. All vendors must provide written documentation from SES Inc. showing they are authorized to provide the requested software, maintenance and training along with their faxed quote which shall be considered by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Dahlgren, Va. 22448. Fax number is 540-653-7016 Attn: Barbara Walters, SD18. All vendors must provide the software license and maintenance agreements, their training outline, as well as their CAGE Code, Dunn and Bradstreet Number, Tax Identification Number and must be registered in the Central Contractor Data Base. Year 2000 compliance documentation must also be provided. NO WRITTEN QUOTES WILL BE SENT AS ALL ITEMS ARE CALLED OUT IN THIS CBD NOTICE. Delivery shall be FOB Destination to the Naval Surface Warfare Center, 17320 Dahlgren Road, Dahlgren, Va.. The closing date is 03 June 1999. Estimated award date is 07 June 1999. Posted 05/24/99 (W-SN334764). (0144)
