9. Requirement: The United States Government requires Target Geometry services to support the generation of target geometry for ground combat, aviation, munitions, and future force systems and data administration to perform maintenance and update classified (as applicable) and unclassified archive databases. The Government requires Target Geometry services to support the generation of target geometry for ground combat, aviation, munitions, and future force systems and data administration support to archive analysis results, perform maintenance and update classified (as applicable) and unclassified archive databases. The effort includes various methods for applying major editing and mending techniques of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) geometry, developing geometry, and converting existing commercial geometries provided by various sources include gathering, researching, verifying and analyzing facts; skilled use of basic survivability, lethality and vulnerability (SLV) tools, Commercial CAD software major editing and mending techniques and use of CAD conversion tools and techniques for use in the ballistic SLV analysis field.

The required expertise shall include knowledge of various methods of developing target descriptions (includes Creo, NX, Rhino3D, Spaceclaim and BRLCAD); creation of conception models utilizing commercial and CAD software that includes FaroArm, COMPASS, Geomagic, and theodolite); technical engineering knowledge of Government/Military vehicles and armor, CAD formats required for vulnerability and lethality modeling, and the use of metrology system equipment to create target descriptions; and knowledge of Structured Query Language (SQL) and MYSQL in the development and maintenance of an unclassified database for new and historical projects and documentation.

The Government does not intend to use Part 12 for this acquisition.
