Statement of Objectives (SOO) – Nuclear Enterprise Tracking System (NETS) Air Force Nuclear Weapon Center (AFNWC) in Support of

Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) 6 December 2010

1.0 Background:

Ensuring the integrity, safety, and reliability of the nuclear mission is one of the United States Air Force’s (USAF) most important and urgent goals. This Statement of Objectives (SOO) expresses the concept and approach for demonstrations of an Information Technology (IT) solution. The AF is exploring the availability of technologies to support an enterprise tracking system to enhance the nuclear enterprise mission set for the USAF by combining a suite of tracking applications on a bio-metrically secure handheld computing device.

2.0 Scope:

The contractor shall select an appropriate technology and conduct a technical demonstration in a relevant environment. The demonstration will exhibit an IT solution of synchronized position-finding of materials as well as exhibit the ability to provide real-time local/corporate command and control in tracking components.

3.0 Objectives:

This SOO provides the government’s overall objectives for this solicitation. Recent events have caused Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) to explore new methodologies to improve tracking of nuclear components and materials. Processes currently in place are manpower intensive and time consuming due to the fact tracking is performed manually and data is stored on systems that are not all interoperable. Specifically, AFGSC has identified the need for a tool designed to download, store and upload data to a secure SIPRNET web portal and data repository. AFGSC is exploring concepts that would allow for full tasking list integration, the unique identification of tracked components, and local command and control for nuclear components and materials.

Contractors shall demonstrate technology that can be developed into a system that decreases data input time, increases data reliability, increases security, reduces transcription issues, improves reporting timeliness, and improves command and control while supporting the Air Force’s nuclear enterprise.

3.1 Product Outcomes – since it is not expected that any one contractor will possess solutions that address all product outcomes, demonstrate which of the following capabilities your technology currently addresses:

3.1.1 How the proposed technology can enhance the overall mission of tracking nuclear assets by providing an integrated, comprehensive set of information for USAF personnel at all levels.

3.1.2 Component tracking by part numbers, lot numbers, serial numbers and locations of the parts after installation.

3.1.3 Custody transfer function that will track handoffs from storage to maintenance/aircraft/alert location.

3.1.4 Ability to continuously download, store, upload, view, report and print data to a secure portal and data repository.

3.1.5 Unique identification of tracked components, and local command and control over both the handheld device and its user using encrypted wireless communication of the handheld device’s global positioning coordinate information.

3.1.6 Use of biometric identification such as a biometric digital fingerprint reader to verify user credentials, personnel reliability status, and currency/training qualifications.

4.0 Deliverables:

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-01INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS-COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Jun 2008)

1.0 Program Structure and Objectives

Ensuring the integrity, safety, and reliability of the nuclear mission is one of the United

States Air Force's (USAF's) most important and urgent goals. Recent events have caused Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) to explore new methodologies to improve tracking of nuclear components and materials. Processes currently in place are manpower intensive and time consuming due to the fact tracking is performed manually and data is stored on systems that are not all interoperable. Specifically, AFGSC has identified the need for a tool designed to download, store and upload data to a secure SIPRNET web portal and data repository.

Therefore, the USAF is exploring the availability of technologies to support an enterprise tracking system to enhance the nuclear enterprise mission set by combining a suite of tracking applications on a bio-metrically secure handheld computing device.

The purpose of this solicitation is to obtain offeror demonstrations of existing Information Technology (IT) solution(s) to learn how current technology could be used to enhance the USAF nuclear enterprise through improved asset tracking.

1.1. Budget/Funding Information

The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) in support of AFGSC intends to use Research, Development, Test and Engineering (RDT&E) funds for this effort. Pursuant to this RFP, AFNWC anticipates making several firm-fixed price contract awards, estimated at no more than 10, depending upon the number of fully capable proposals received and availability of funds. The estimated cumulative cost for all contracts awarded is expected to not exceed $3.5M. Individual contracts shall not exceed $350,000.

2.0 General Instructions

(a) This section of the Instructions to Offerors (ITO) provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. The offeror's proposal must include all data and information requested by the ITO and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Statement of Objectives (SOO), Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL), and Solicitation.

Non-conformance with the instructions provided in this ITO may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation.

PAGE -8 of 67

(b) The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience and/or personnel, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

(c) FAR 52.212-01, Para (c) is changed to read "The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 90 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers…" The offeror shall clearly state in their proposal their agreement to the proposal validity date.

(d) In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.
