1. GENERAL
1.1. Background: The Coast Guard’s Command, Control and Communications Engineering Center (C3CEN) develops, builds, fields, trains, and supports advanced electronic command, control, and navigation systems. C3CEN develops Government Off- The-Shelf (GOTS) system components using contracted services to fulfill the mission
70Z04420D20002500 Page 2 of 31 requirements for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, & Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities. The purpose of Search and Rescue Optimal Planning System (SAROPS) is the creation of Search and Rescue plans in direct support of the core US Coast Guard mission of Search and Rescue (SAR). SAROPS is used 24/7 in every US Coast Guard Sector and District Command Center.
C3CEN uses a technical approach of leveraging existing GOTS and Commercial-Off-The Shelf (COTS) products with standard technologies and environments (e.g., ArcGIS) to create families of interoperable and compatible systems. C3CEN products adhere to enterprise level direction provided by the United States Coast Guard (USCG), Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The SAROPS application is written as a series of extensions to the ArcGIS geographical information system (GIS) from Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI). SAROPS is deployed on a pool of servers positioned throughout the Coast Guard Area of Responsibility (AOR). Operators access SAROPS by use of the remote desktop capability of the standard workstation. Current commercial Environmental Data Server (EDS) subscription provides SAROPS with web services technology to obtain the current/wind data which is required to optimally run search object drift simulations. The Search and Rescue (SAR) Controller identifies the Area Of Interest (AOI) and the EDS then provides a set of candidate wind/current data products for that AOI. SAROPS then transmits AOI and product parameters to the EDS provider and receives resultant wind and current data sufficient to run the drift simulation. These communications are temporary, initiated by SAROPS and terminated by SAROPS after receipt of requested information.
The general nature of the work for enhancements under this contract consists of developing capabilities, which are beyond that which are built within existing capabilities.
Examples of enhancement requests may include, but are not limited to new data elements/products, data analytics, additional data aggregation, smart Area of Interest processing, status monitoring web site for EDS health status information, and Web Mapping Services for alternate methods of product viewing.
2. SCOPE OF WORK
2.1. The Contractor shall furnish the personnel, facilities, equipment, and material, except as otherwise provided herein or in individual orders, necessary to perform the following services:

2.2. The Contractor shall have staff available for any emergency after-hours support on a call-in basis.
2.3. The data retention policy is as follows:
70Z04420D20002500 Page 3 of 31
2.3.1. All EDS data will be available on high performance servers/disks for the previous 30 days
2.3.2. All EDS Data will be instantly and seamlessly available for the previous 365 days

g. The Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer a Task Proposal within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving a draft of the task PWS and written notification from the Contracting Officer that a Task Proposal is required. The Task Proposal shall provide the Contractor’s detailed approach to accomplishing the requirements of the task and will identify the Contractor’s overall estimate for completing the task.
h. The Contractor shall initiate task performance promptly upon receipt of a fully executed Task Order that has been signed by the Contracting Officer. The signed Task Order will incorporate all items agreed upon during cost proposal discussions.
i. It is the Government’s intent to fully fund each Task Order when issued; however, it may be necessary to incrementally fund some Task Orders.

The Contractor shall not proceed with the work affected by the technical instruction unless and until the Contractor is notified by the Contracting Officer that the technical instruction is with the scope of the contract.
