A -- VIRTUAL PROVING GROUND QUANTITATIVE VISUALIZATION CRUSADER SOL W81R8T-9274-RM69 DUE 012400 POC Becci Larson, Contract Admninistrator, (520) 328-6163 E-MAIL: Becci.Larson@Yuma-exch1.army.mil, Becci.Larson@Yuma-exch1.army.mil. Sole source. The United States Army Yuma Proving Ground (USAYPG), Arizona, intends to negotiate a task with J-Squared LLC of Colorado Springs, Colorado on a sole source basis. This action entails initiation of a Quantitative Visualization (QV) Task under Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) Number DAAD01-00-G-0001 for Integration with Gun Pointing Vector Instrumentation System GPVIS), Geographic Information System (GIS), Firing and Safety Monitoring Applications. The QV program objective is to integrate real, live-fire measurements with simulation data, models for test articles, test instruments, geospatial data, Commercial-off-the-shelf-software (COTS) networking and display technologies with enhanced performance to testers at lower costs. QV is a digital platform conceived to achieve a capability that will allow the real-time and quantitatively precise visualization of tests from an all-encompassing perspective. In a test, QV serves as a digital platform that collects and archives all data, simulated and real-measured, into a single entity. QV then articulates computer models of test articles according to the archived data against a synthetic landscape to allow the detailed and quantitative visualization of the entire test; thus, real tests are mirrored into the digital world with quantitative precision. The object of this task under the BOA is to allow the real-time precise monitoring of the Crusader weapon system in a Developmental Testing/Operational Testing (DT/OT) environment at USAYPG. The task shall include the following: 1) Validation of gun pointing results via GPVIS for safety determination and QV display; 2) Construct and overlay 2D/3D firing fans from simulation (General Trajectory (GTRAJ), Projectile Design and Analysis System (PRODAS), etc.) or range firing tables; 3) Integrate USAYPG GIS database in QV; and 4) 2D/3D displays of artillery projectile ground impacts or airburst events. USAYPG does not intend to issue a written solicitation but rather will place a task under the referenced BOA. Reference BOA Task Number W81R8T-9274-RM69. Sources interested in this requirement may submit an information package which includes documentation demonstrating that your firm possesses the training and capability to perform the integration capability, integral development knowledge of USAYPG's QV program, your complete mailing address, point of contact, phone number, facsimile number, email address and business size. All information submissions for this action must be received within 30 days of publication of this notice. Award of this action may be made after 45 days of publication of this notice. USAYPG will provide government-furnished data. A fixed price one-year task under the BOA is anticipated. This action falls under Federal Supply Code AZ13 and SIC 8731. Posted 12/21/99 (W-SN410665).
