Description

The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC), Battle Lab Simulation Development Division, is seeking industry capabilities for Warfighter Analysis and Integration (WAI) to provide the Army and the Department of Defense (DoD) an advanced capability for analysis and integration of defense issues. The contractor for this effort will be responsible for simulation, design, simulation engineering, simulation implementation, simulation integration and maintenance in addition to parametric modeling, data collection, reduction and first level analysis, and design, engineering and integration of simulations and modeling to support evaluation of potential threats, doctrine and requirements, technologies, designs and performance, manufacturing processes, logistics and manpower, and defense system interface architectures. The spectrum of conflict in the simulations may range from peacetime readiness to full-scale warfare, and the scenarios may range from conflict in Central Europe to any number of Third World countries. The simulation must integrate discrete models, other simulations, mission-critical computer resources and representative hardware elements of existing and emerging weapon systems, aircraft, missiles, national and theater sensor, planning/fusion capabilities, command, control, and communications and the associated doctrine, both U.S. and foreign. Within this context, beyond building the simulations, the contractor shall assist in planning, preparing, operating and documenting major simulation and war game demonstrations, while supporting the development of evaluation criteria, measures of effectiveness, system/mission effectiveness criteria, and system cost assessments for these demonstrations. The contractor shall create and use a variety of modeling and simulation tools in performing these functions, including advanced networking, communications, computing, graphics, software, mathematical, data collection, decision aiding and management process technologies. A TOP SECRET/Special Compartmented Information (SCI) facility clearance with access to Restricted Data, CNWDI, NOFORN, and WNINTEL will be required for this effort. The period of performance will be a three (3) year basic with two (2), one (1) year surge options. Due to the nature of this acquisition, allied participation is precluded at both the prime and subcontractor levels. Access specific to the Warfighter and Analysis Integration effort is restricted to U.S. contractors only. Interested firms should submit a summary of their qualifications and letter indicating their intent to submit a proposal within fifteen (15) days of the publication date of this notice. Such letter should be addressed to USASMDC, ATTN: SMDC-CM-CN/Dianne Trimble. Firms responding are requested to include the necessary security information regarding their facility clearance and indicate their business size standard. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and size standard for this acquisition is 54171 and 1,000 employees. This synopsis is an advance notice for information purposes only and is not a formal solicitation for proposals.
