****************************************************************

12/14/2015 - The Department of the Navy, Space and Naval Warfare Systems

Center,

Pacific (SSC Pacific) intends to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) No.

N66001-16-R-0062

for the award of a Multiple Award Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity

(IDIQ), Cost

Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) type contract to provide support for the Emerging

Cryogenic

devices, electronics and Systems Program. Capability requirements will include

systems

acquisition support, project management, systems engineering, integration,

systems

requirements analysis, planning, basic research, development, evaluation, and

implementation directly related to emerging cryogenic technology for both

current and

future systems. These efforts include the following: (1) Research and

development of

Cryogenic Radio Frequency (RF) systems including signal detection,

conditioning,

conversion, processing and storage in the analog, mixed and digital domains;

(2)

Research and exploratory developmental efforts involving advanced cryogenic RF

chain

components (e.g., RF filters, RF amplifiers, etc.), advanced cryogenic signal

processing

components (e.g., DACs and ADCs), and advanced cryogenic core digital and

quantum

memory technologies for military RF receiver systems, including, but not

limited to,

Tactical Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) Systems; (3) Research and exploratory

developmental efforts involving emerging cryogenic RF technologies exploiting

Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) configured as RF arrays;

(4)

Research and development of the design and production of a small scale

cryogenic

packaging system operating at or below 77K on which cryogenic sensor package

can be

mounted for use in the direct detection of incident electromagnetic radiation;

and (5)

Research and Development for Tactical SIGINT Technology and other military

system

platforms. The prospective contract(s) will have a three-year base period with

a single

two-year option period.



This is a 100% small business set-aside competition, anticipated to result in

the award of

a Multiple Award IDIQ contract. The North American Industry Classification

System

(NAICS) Code for this procurement is 541712 Research and Development in the

Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology), and the Small

Business

size standard is 500 employees. This is a new requirement; therefore an

incumbent does

not exist.



A Bidders Mailing List will not be established and hard copies of documents

will not be

provided. The solicitation will only be available electronically on the Space

and Naval

Warfare Systems Command E-Commerce Web Page at https://e-

commerce.sscno.nmci.navy.mil under SSC Pacific - Open Solicitations. Any

amendments,

when issued, will also be available only on this web site. Matters posted on

the web site

are not terms of the solicitation unless the solicitation is written or amended

to include

such matters. FIRMS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REVIEW THE WEB SITE REGULARLY FOR

UPDATED INFORMATION.
