About this opportunity

The 45th Space Wing is seeking proposals to develop a cloud and lightning evaluation system to ingest and display live weather data from the Eastern Range in a 3D virtual view. The system must evaluate weather conditions against launch commit criteria and display alerts for any violations. Offerors must provide all labor, materials, equipment, and transportation to design, develop, test, deliver, install, and demonstrate the system over a 12-month period. Proposals are due by August 5, 2020 and will be evaluated based on technical approach, price, and past performance.

This 100% set-aside for small businesses has a primary NAICS code of 334519. Pricing must be proposed for the visualization tool, assessment solution, and data access. The period of performance is one year from date of award. Work will be performed at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida and include bi-monthly status reports, demonstrated capabilities every two weeks, and final system documentation. The total budget is unspecified but the project requires ingesting real-time data feeds and developing a complete, operational system.

Amendment 2 - (1) The Combined Synopsis Solicitation has been revised to extend the response due date/time and include updates to the clauses applicable to this requirement. Revision 1, dated 30 July 2020 is attached.  (2) CLEER  Questions and Answers are also attached.

Amendment 1 - Attachment 1 - Statement of Objectives has been revised.  Revision 1, dated 23 Jul 2020 included as an attachment to the solicitation.

Brief Description of the Work:  The 45th Space Wing is seeking a computer system which will ingest and display government provided live Eastern Range (ER) weather radar data, live ER lightning events, weather balloon data, and nominal vehicle trajectory data in a virtual 3-Dimensional (3-D) view on one display, referenced to launch complexes on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.  Weather radar and lightning data will be provided via continuous data feeds. Temperature data will be uploaded by the operator after each data set becomes available, and the launch trajectories will be uploaded by an operator once for each launch.  The system shall be capable of displaying audible and visual alerts for violating Eastern Range weather launch rules for safe weather conditions.  The system must also comply with applicable DoD cybersecurity requirements, including Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 8510.01, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-53v4, and Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) guidelines.

This project will include (but not be limited to) all design, material, procurement, cyber certification, and building needed to provide a complete and usable end product to the Government. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, equipment, and transportation, required to install new equipment, then perform an operational checkout in lieu of formal Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) testing of the affected 45 SW operational systems.  All work must be accomplished in accordance with all contract specifications, common work practices, and industry standards.
