Research and Development of Air Weapons Systems Survivability Analysis, Systems Safety Analysis, and Modeling and Simulation Verification, Validation and Accreditation Support

A five year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide research and development analysis in the areas of air weapons systems survivability and lethality, systems safety, and modeling and simulation verification, validation and accreditation. Research and development include (1) air weapon survivability and lethality analysis; (2) survivability simulations; systems analysis; survivability systems engineering analysis; and (3) the documentation inherent in the engineering or analysis process.

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) intends to competitively procure as a total small business set-aside, a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Indefinite Delivery Indefinate Quantity (IDIQ) type contract, to a single awardee for Air Weapons Systems Survivability Analysis, Systems Safety Analysis, and Modeling and Simulation Verification, Validation and Accreditation Support. The Research and Development services to be obtained under this procurement will be for (1) model and simulation (M & S) verification, validation and accreditation (VV & A), (2) vulnerability analysis, (3) assessment of M & S VV & A related products and processes, (4) survivability analysis, (5) susceptibility analysis, (6) assessment of test results on survivability estimates including proposed design changes to enhance survivability, (7) systems safety support, (8) lethality analysis, (9) analytical and test data acquisition and reduction, (10) assessment of analytical estimates, (11) simulation development, enhancement, operation, configuration management, maintenance and related support, (12) test planning and reporting for ballistic systems tests, (13) test and analytical data review, (14) test planning and reporting for susceptibility tests, (15) mission effectiveness analysis, (16) air-vehicle battle damage repair analysis, (17) cost and operational effectiveness analysis, and (18) analysis of alternatives studies.
It is anticipated the majority of the work will be performed at the contractor’s site. A minimum of one (1) Task Order will be ordered and the contract is anticipated to be 75,700 hours over a five year period of performance. Delivery will be FOB Destination to NAWCWD China Lake, CA. Access to classified data up to and including Top Secret is required in the performance of this contract. The request for proposal (RFP) will be issued on or about 24 August 2011 and will be available through Fedbizopps [https://www.fbo.gov] or NECO [https://www.neco.navy.mil/] websites. The RFP will close 45 days after the date of issuance. Some portions of the solitation will not be available electronically.
It is the offeror's responsibility to contact the Government Representative cited in the solicitation (and listed above) in order to obtain paper copies of those portions of the solicitation that are unavailable electronically. Award is anticipated to be on or approximately 22 December 2011. All responsible sources may submit a proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. See numbered notes: 1 and 26.
