Special Presentation

ESC/JA Presentation on Organizational Conflict of Interest

Alternate Source Acquisition Objective

• The program is focused on delivering Warfighters’ highest priority terminals: E-4, E-6, and Ground

Command Post Terminals with Presidential &

National Voice Conferencing (PNVC)

• Initial terminal deliveries no later than FY15 to meet

Warfighter needs

• The contract effort does not include Force Element requirements for the B-2, B-52, and RC-135 airborne and ground terminals

Business Opportunity

• Competitive award of a single fixed price contract for development/production in FY12 based on Offerors’ proposals and demonstrations of existing HW/SW

• Contract value will be capped at $70M for a Firm

Fixed Price (FFP) initial ten month development period

• Priced options for continuation of development and for production

Contracting

• The Alternate Source contract for development and production will be awarded through a full and open competition (after the exclusion of Boeing).

– The exclusion is in accordance with 10 U.S.C.

2304(b)(1) as implemented by DFARS 206.202.

RFP Key Features (1 of 2)

• Government Technical Requirement Document splits requirements into two blocks:

− Block 1 is focused on the high priority CPT w/PNVC mission

− Block 2 provides the remainder of CPT capabilities

• Proposals will describe a detailed schedule (e.g., SRR, PDR, CDR, SVRR) and event information for the entire CPT (Blocks 1

& 2) development and production

• Proposals will include contractor defined development events from the Integrated Master Plan (IMP) at nine months after award, and at the conclusion of CLINs 0003 & 0004, if options are exercised

RFP Key Features (2 of 2)

• Special Clauses will be used to implement contract incentives to assess Liquidated Damages

• Full Data Rights will be sought to enable the

Government to sustain the FAB-T system and reuse to support the future Force Element portion of the program

Contract Structure

• Development Period of Performance (FY12-14)

– FFP CLIN 0001 development of CPT w/PNVC for 10 months

– FFP Option CLIN 0003 for continuing development of CPT w/PNVC for 2 months

– FFP Option CLIN 0004 for continuing development of CPT w/PNVC for an additional 2 months

– FFP Option CLIN 0005 for complete development of CPT w/PNVC

– FFP Option CLIN 0020 for TT&C development

• Production six (6) annual buys

– FFP Option CLIN LRIP FY14

– FFP Option CLIN LRIP FY15

– FFP Option CLINs FRP FY16-19

Source Selection

Draft Evaluation Factors for Contract Award

– Evaluation Factors

– Demonstration

– Past Performance

Draft Source Selection Criteria

• Evaluation Factors and Subfactors:

– Factor 1: Technical Capability

• Subfactor 1: Architecture, System Design and Performance

• Subfactor 2: Program Execution

– Factor 2: Past Performance

– Factor 3: Cost/Price

• Demonstration – To assess the technical risk associated with the Offeror’s proposed solution

• Solicitation Requirements – Offeror must meet all requirements OR clearly identify any exceptions and provide complete supporting rationale

Draft Relative Importance of Factors

• Factors

– Technical Capability and Cost/Price are approximately of equal importance and together are the most important. Past

Performance is less important than Technical Capability and

Cost/Price. All evaluation factors other than Cost/Price, when combined, are significantly more important than

Cost/Price

• Technical Subfactors

– Architecture, System Design, and Performance and Program

Execution Subfactors are of equal weight.

Draft Demonstration (Initial Award)

• A one day demonstration to be conducted at the

Offeror’s facility with the Offeror’s equipment

• The demonstration will be used as a means to assess the risk associated with the contents of the written proposal

– The demonstration will address the maturity and the performance of the Offeror’s proposed technical solution as well as the Offeror’s overall ability to deliver a sufficiently mature and integrated solution within the proposed contract schedule

• No GFE is planned to be used for the demonstration

Draft Past Performance Criteria (1 of 2)

• Recency will be based on performance in the last five years prior to RFP release

• Relevency will be based on experience in:

– Developing communication systems with layered communication architectures

– Developing EHF satellite communications systems or segments

– Developing, producing, and sustaining multi-band satellite terminals where the degree of complexity is similar to that of the FAB-T

– Development and platform integration of terrestrial and/or airborne satellite terminals

– Developing airborne terminals operating with narrow beam-width satellite tracking antennas

Draft Past Performance Criteria (2 of 2)

– Demonstrating understanding of strategic Nuclear

Command and Control Extremely Sensitive Information, formally known as Single Integrated Operations Plan (SIOP), radio communications requirements

– Demonstrating an understanding of security certification of satellite communication systems including cryptographic devices

– Large scale military software development

– Development and production of HEMP and nuclear hardened components
