2.0 INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND
This Blanket Purchase Agreement renews the ongoing work accomplished under the existing BPA 5TP57100200: Electronic Warfare Integrated Reprogramming Database (EWIRDB) and Next Generation EWIRDB System (NGES) U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Production and Training Support dated October 2009. As a major stakeholder directly supporting the Department of Defense Directive Number 5250.01 (January 22, 2013), Management of Intelligence Mission Data (IMD) in DoD Acquisition, the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) creates integrated, predictive intelligence products in four of the five IMD primary functional areas: EWIR, Characteristics & Performance (C&P), Signatures, and to a lesser extent, Order of Battle (OOB).
In addition to the IMD support, NASIC functions as the Executive Agent for both the U.S. and FMS EWIRDB and as such, hosts and disseminates each, as well as, participates in the file creation of those specialized products. Finally, the analysis and production efforts performed under this BPA directly feed or influence data required for other complementary databases such as, but not limited to, the Air Force Mission Support System/Combat Support Database (AFMSS/CSDB), and Military Equipment Parametric and Engineering Database, (MEPED) mission requirements.
3.0 SCOPE OF WORK /OBJECTIVE
The scope of the work involves all aspects of IMD and FMS support to include (but not limited to) data research and acquisition, critical analysis, expert assessment, and subsequent system file creation. In addition to the analysis aspects, support for training, mentoring and collaborating with analysts from NASIC and other production center partners and users across the IMD and FMS communities to ensure consistency of standards and production methodology to the extent possible remains a critical requirement.
Therefore, the contractor shall make their expertise available to Missile & Space Intelligence Center (MSIC), National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC), and Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) and other user/producers/analysts (as directed by the U.S. government) who are generating similar products in-house for both IMD and EWIRDB FMS missions. Support during technical meetings and familiarization sessions may also be required.
4.0 CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS
At a minimum, the contractor shall possess analysis expertise in all IMD functional areas: EWIR, C&P, Signatures, and OOB. In addition, the contractor shall possess expertise in peripheral functional areas such as AFMSS/CSDB and MEPED and in particular all Tech ELINT related activities as they support EWIRDB end-to-end processing.
Furthermore, the contractor shall possess Information Technology (IT) expertise for both modeling and tool development that extends into and interacts with NASIC’s SAVANT infrastructure, NASIC’s Opana frameworks, the 453 Electronic Warfare Squadron (EWS) United States Relational Electromagnetic Systems database/Relational Parametrics (USRELMS/RELPARA) architecture and other functionally related infrastructures across the IMD community as they pertain to collaborative production activities.
The contractor shall provide a program manager cognizant of the overarching relationships of NASIC’s IMD commitments and engagement across the user/producer community. The program manager shall provide total task management and shall supervise contractor personnel. The contractor program manager shall serve as the primary point of contact to the government Client Representative (CR) for all technical aspects of the required work. No personal services shall be performed under this contract.
