Description

The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC), is planning the acquisition of 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 facility clearance with access to Restricted Data, Sensitive Compartmented Information, and NATO Information will be required for this effort. 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. The contract will be awarded as a three-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract with up to six (6) additional two-year award term periods with Task Orders issued on a cost-plus-fixed-fee/level-of effort basis. This acquisition will be awarded based upon full and open competition. When issued, the solicitation will be available on the USASMDC Home Page at the following website: http://www.smdc.army.mil/Contracts/Contracts.html. (Select Commerce Business Daily; Request for Proposal.) The solicitation will also be available at the Army Single Face to Industry (ASFI) Acquisition Business Web Site: http://acquisition.army.mil/default.htm. No paper copies will be provided nor is a mailing list being maintained for this acquisition as the solicitation and all associated documentation will be posted on the above website address(es).
