Instrumentation Support

Added: Sep 15, 2015 12:35 pm Defense Threat Reduction Agency/CXT provides special research, development, testing, and evaluation support for the detection, characterization, targeting, and defeat of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). CXT requires instrumentation and test support services to conduct tests to develop technology to counter WMD. End-to-end on-site instrumentation and test support services are required for test event planning, fielding, and execution of high-explosives, weapons testing, and WMD defeat. Additionally, instrumentation support at remote test sites and facilities is required. Test support is driven by external and internal requirements. A competitive follow-on acquisition for CXT's Instrumentation and Test Support in the areas of conventional and special weapons effects, survivable structures and systems, and systems safety assessments is required. The support can be broken down into four major areas: (1) Administration and Operations, (2) Research and Development, (3) Event Planning and Field Support, and (4) Special Program Support. The required support includes all aspects of planning, designing, operation, maintenance, conducting, managing, fabrication, modifying, deploying & fielding, executing, quality assurance, safety, security, and delivery of test data products. This requires using DTRA equipment and other specialized test support located primarily at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB), NM, White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), NM, Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), NV, and Dugway Proving Grounds (DPG), UT. The major end items of this competitive acquisition are test support and test data collection & distribution. It is anticipated that a Request for Proposal (RFP) will be released on or about September 30, 2015 via FedBizOpps. It is also anticipated that a site visit will be held prior to proposal receipt. Details of the site visit will be included in the RFP. A Single Award, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) type contract is contemplated with Firm-Fixed-Price, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee, Cost-Plus-Incentive-Fee, and Cost type task orders possible. The period of performance is contemplated to be a 5-year base and a 5-year Option (10 years total) from date of award, with a maximum order limit of $62.6M for the base years and $67.4M for the 5-year Option. The place of performance will be primarily at White Sands Missile Range, Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB), Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), Eglin AFB, FL., and Dugway Proving Grounds (DPG). Other locations worldwide are possible. The applicable North American Industrial Classification Standard (NAICS) code is 541712.
