B -- SERVICES TO PROVIDE ELECTROMAGNETIC (EM) ENGINEERING FOR ACQUISITION, MANAGEMENT, INVESTIGATIONS AND ANALYSIS SUPPORT IN MINIMIZING BATTLE FORCE (BF) AND SHORE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS (E3). SOL N00039-99-R-3197(Q) POC CONTRACT NEGOTIATOR: Gene J. Moran,(858) 537-0440, Contracting Officer: Eleanor Summers WEB: Click here to access the RFP, http://e-commerce.spawar.navy.mil. E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contract specialist, morang@spawar.navy.mil. The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command has identified a follow-on requirement for engineering tasks to investigate, define, develop and validate the technical requirements needed for managing and controlling Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) to minimize performance degradation to SPAWAR Command, Control, Communication, Computer and Intelligence and Sensor Systems. This work shall provide engineering efforts to improve the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of equipment, systems, platforms and systems of systems in maritime Battle Force (BF) and littoral environments as well as joint and combined environments. It is anticipated the contractor will perform engineering and analysis in the following three areas: 1) ELECTROMAGNETIC ACQUISITION ENGINEERING. The contractor shall provide E3 engineering evaluation and assessment of SPAWAR equipment and systems. Conduct engineering evaluations of potential EMI problems for equipment and systems used in littoral and joint environments. Use of current and future EMC analysis tools shall be required to perform some functions of the E3 analysis. Acquisition documentation to be reviewed shall include but not be limited to test plans, test reports, specifications, and frequency allocations during the E3 review. A thorough familiarity with commercial equipment and systems shall also be required because of the prevalent use of non-militarized equipment. 2) BATTLE FORCE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENVIRONMENT (EME) DEVELOPMENT. The contractor shall perform engineering analysis involving inter-platform EMI and recommend engineering solutions. Provide recommendations and guidance leading to problem resolution and or avoidance for battle force operations in littoral environments. Provide E3 inputs to update engineering documentation such as military handbooks, interface standards, specifications, NATO STANAGS, and other related documentation. This also includes development of criteria for E3 modeling and providing input on enhancements to current automated tools. 3) BATTLE FORCE ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY ENGINEERING PROGRAM (EMCEP). The contractor shall participate in EMCEP meetings and exercises. The contractor shall report on EMI problems for inter platform and intra-platform EMI and assist in conducting engineering investigations, report on engineering analysis, and develop and validate solutions. Work with Navy components, Army, Air Force, Marine Corp, and Joint entities on afloat and shore testing. Participate as part of a quick reaction capability (QRC) to visit afloat and shore sites to perform test and analysis. The contractor shall use E3 tools to assess the Electromagnetic Environment (EME) and include as part of reports. The anticipated period of performance is a one year base period followed by four, one-year options plus the option at FAR 52.217-8. The anticipated contract type is Cost Plus Fixed Fee with an estimated 50,000 man-hours per year. This will be a fully competitive requirement. Proposals will be evaluated based upon best value source selection. A SECRET clearance will be required 30 days after award of any resulting contract. The planned release date for the draft RFP and any subsequent update will be issues via the SPAWAR Business Opportunities web site at: http://e-commerce.spawar.navy.mil.
