A -- COMPACT KINETIC ENERGY MISSILE (CKEM) SOL DAAH01-00-R-RB01 DUE 012700 POC Kyle Samples, Contract Specialist (256)876-5326; Patsy C. Garrison, Contracting Officer (256) 842-7406 THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF CBD ANNOUNCEMENT FOR -- Title: Compact Kinetic Energy Missile (CKEM. CONTINUED -- ..Offerors may be either individual organizations or teamed efforts. In the event the effort is a teamed one, the organizational structure of the team shall be clearly defined in the proposal. Volume I shall be the technical portion and shall include an Executive Summary, a Technical Approach, a Description of Relevant Prior Work, a Program Plan including a Statement of Work (SOW), Milestone Charts and Program Schedules, a Facilities and Equipment Description and a Management Plan. Volume I shall be limited to 75 pages including all figures, tables, foldouts and charts. Resumes shall also be submitted with the Technical Proposal for all principal personnel. Resumes will not be included in the 75 page limitation. All paragraphs containing proprietary information must be clearly marked. Four (4) copies of volume I and three (3) copies of Volume II shall be submitted. Volume II shall contain all the cost/price information with supporting information (no page limit). The cost breakdown shall include materials, direct labor, indirect costs and other costs such as special test equipment or travel. Offerors shall provide exhibits as necessary to substantiate the cost elements. Detailed costs must be provided including the options. Include a 3.5" Floppy Disk in EXCEL for the basic and options with your cost proposal. A fifteen day extension for the certified costing data is available upon request. However, a summary of costs must be provided with initial proposal submission. Cost sharing is encouraged and any cost share must be separately identified in the proposal. Proposals must: (1) Define a representative concept and accompanying design specifying: total fire control solution, overall system architecture; guidance scheme, hardware components (propulsion, guidance components, sensors and sensor interfaces, and lethal mechanism), energy management methodology, software methodology and tools, etc. to be used or developed; packaging and configuration; weight, size, expected performance, operating characteristics, and performance limitations i.e. countermeasure effectiveness. (2) Provide definition and description of the critical issues associated with CKEM, the proposed approach to tradeoffs, evaluation methodology, and system development to include six degree-of-freedom simulations, mock-ups, virtual prototyping, and DIS/HLA based performance evaluation tools. (3) Provide a statement of work, schedule, list of deliverables and costs for all options of the proposed program. (4) Specify tasks that will be used to benchmark overall performance of the components, subsystems, and system. Hardware in the loop testing is strongly encouraged. (5) Identify offerors and team members' facilities and equipment that will support the effort. (6) Identify any government-furnished facilities, equipment and/or information that are needed to support the effort. (7) Describe the team members and their qualifications for theproposed effort as it applies to the major skill areas of the program e.g. Missile Concept Definition, Requirements Analysis, Kinetic Energy Penetrators, Propulsion, and Hypervelocity Guidance and their demonstrated record of achievement. EVALUATION CRITERIA: Proposals will be evaluated by the Government with respect to the following evaluation criteria: (1) Technical Soundness and Operational Merit of Proposed Concept; (2) Realism of Schedule and Soundness of Management Plan (to include risk mitigation efforts) as demonstrated by Quantifiable Milestones; and (3) Proposed Cost and Cost Reasonableness. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS CONTINUED. Posted 12/22/99 (W-SN410844). (0356)
