POC: Jeff Kasza, 402-294-4098. Alternate POC: Stacy Mazurek , 402-294-6203

Solicitation Number: FA4600-11-R-0028

APPROXIMATE SOLICITATION ISSUE DATE: June 2011. The 55th Contracting Squadron will be conducting the solicitation and award of a full and open competition, non-personal services, cost plus incentive fee contract for a base period and six (6) one year option periods. In addition, FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services will be included. This effort is to provide Air Vehicle Planning System capabilities for USSTRATCOM. Contract Transition period is expected to be 180 days starting approximately between 1 August 2012 and 31 January 2013. The Air Vehicle Planning System (APS) software is a full fidelity (able to plan fully validated missions down to the individual sortie level) force-level mission planning system that performs planning functions in support of the nation's nuclear war plan and Conventional Air Launched Cruise Missile (CALCM). APS is currently used to plan missions involving the following aircraft and weapon systems: B-52, B-2, KC-135, KC-10, RC-135, U-2, EP-3, Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM), Advanced Cruise Missile (ACM), and CALCM. APS also contains capability to plan DCA, F15/16/18, but this functionality is not in current use. The APS application is used to perform Air Vehicle planning operations, including maintenance operations, exercise and adaptive planning for the Operational Plan (OPLAN), non-nuclear OPLAN planning, and non-nuclear planning. Tasks include route Generation, Mating and Ranging, Timing, Verification, Data Products and Tape Build. Results and outputs are also used by other applications. The software is also used to perform maintenance operations, as required, for an existing OPLAN. The APS mission planning software requirement includes: on-site support for USSTRATCOM planners; engineering and software services for maintenance and analysis of Government-owned mission planning software; provision of interoperability with other necessary programs; correction of known software deficiencies; incorporation of guidance changes; maintenance of the capability to fix both non-critical and emergency (critical) Software Change Requests (SCRs); and application training of USSTRATCOM personnel. The requirement also includes provisions for enhancements and code development.

Contractor must be able to meet all requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS), certification requirements, and appropriate security clearances. This project is classified up to Top Secret. Individuals may require access to Nuclear Command and Control-Extremely Sensitive Information (NC2-ESI), Special Compartmentalized Information (SCI), Special Acess Program (SAP), and Alternate Compensatory Control Measures (ACCM). An interim Top Secret clearance does not satify DD254 requirements. Contractor must comply with guidelines specified in the DD Form 254, Contract Security Classification Specification (draft DD Form 254 to be issued with the draft RFP). This acquisition will be conducted using negotiated procedures in accordance with FAR Part 15. The Request For Proposal (RFP) and all associated documents, when issued, will be posted on the required government wide point of entry. A draft solicitation is available at this time. Offerors are encouraged to subscribe/register for this solicitation number through http://www.fedbizopps.gov to ensure they automatically receive all documents associated with the procurement in a timely manner. All associated documents will be released electronically, except for the Technical Library CD, which will be provided at the Preproposal Conference/Site Visit (see Section L1.12 of the draft RFP). The NAICS code is 541511, and the size standard is $25M. Anticipated award date is summer 2012. Address questions via-mail to the contracting officer or contract specialist only. No discussions will be conducted telephonically.
