About this opportunity
The Naval Research Laboratory seeks proposals to provide research and development support services for geospace remote sensing and modeling projects. Offerors must have expertise in areas including hardware and software engineering, scientific computation, data analysis, project coordination, numerical modeling of atmospheric processes, calibration of optical instruments, development of remote sensing techniques, data assimilation, and radio signal analysis. Proposals are due by September 6, 2021 and will be evaluated based on the offeror's ability to support both experimental and theoretical work onsite and offsite for current and planned satellite instruments. Questions regarding the solicitation are due by July 30, 2021.
This is a full and open competition with no set-aside designations. The primary NAICS code is 541715 and PSC code is R425. The place of performance is Washington, D.C. and support will be provided for an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract with a five-year period of performance and a maximum value of $25 million. Small business subcontracting goals include at least 29% for small businesses, with further targets for small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and HUBZone small businesses.

***UPDATE***
The Government has received questions from Offerors in response to the solicitation. The questions and answers have been added as an attachment to this notice. Additional rounds of questions are at the Governments discretion to answer only and any questions submitted may not receive a response. The proposal due date remains 6 SEP 2021.
***END UPDATE***
Naval Research Lab has a requirement for research and development (R&D) in support of existing and planned future satellite-based remote sensing systems, for investigating of new remote sensing methods, for first-principles modeling of atmospheric processes, and for emerging whole-atmosphere data assimilation and modeling systems. Detailed descriptions of specific areas requiring research and development (R&D) support can be found in the attached Request for Proposal (RFP)/Statement of Work (SOW). Further, descriptions of qualified personnel required to support this contract action are also attached in the Personnel Qualifications RFP Attachment.
NRL is seeking proposals in response to RFP N00173-21-R-RJ05 detailing their companies’ ability and method for providing the necessary R&D expertise to support ongoing experimental and theoretical research projects at NRL-SSD using both on-site and off-site personnel as detailed in the RFP. Experimental support requires expertise in project management that includes requirements management, systems analysis, design, testing, and user support. Experimental support also requires expertise in the calibration, upgrades, repairs, refurbishment, and flat fielding of optical systems. Theoretical support requires expertise in numerical modeling of terrestrial and planetary atmospheric processes, development and application of both active and passive remote sensing techniques encompassing the entire electromagnetic spectrum, advanced data assimilation techniques, analysis of both solar and terrestrial remote sensing data sets, and application
The contractor shall be responsible for providing hardware engineering, software engineering, scientific computation and analysis, and project coordination in support of both current and planned future research and operational satellite-based instruments for remote sensing of the composition and structure of both the neutral atmosphere and the thermosphere/ionosphere system.
The contractor shall also provide scientific and computational expertise for theoretical investigations involving numerical modeling and data analysis of terrestrial, solar, and planetary atmospheres. The contractor also shall provide support for radio signal analysis.
All of these requirement and additional requirements are detailed in the attached RFP.
Offerors are hereby notified the opportunity to submit questions in response to this RFP are due to the contract specialist by 30 July 2021.
This effort is a full and open competition. There is no DD254 requirement for this effort. Proposals are due by 3:00PM EST, 6 September 2021.
