Services in support of the Naval Munitions Requirements Process (NMRP)

The effort under this contract is divided into four phases:

1. Naval Munitions Requirements Process (NMRP) Working Group review and software development.

2. Database development review and issue resolution.

3. Computation and Output Presentation.

4. Studies and Analysis.



The NMRP requires several specialized disciplines under one service contract to successfully complete all phases; highly analytic/applied mathematics discipline, application of analytic techniques and modeling warfare concepts-of-operations, experience in the NMRP modeling suite or significant experience in mathematical modeling methods (including Monte Carlo simulation and Markov Chain sampling), data collection and analysis work in programs of similar complexity and scope, computer science and software design, and experience in Naval Service warfare, warfare systems and munitions capabilities, performance, attributes, employment procedures and effects.





The contractor shall develop a software development program to be applied to all software developed or modified during the course of the contract. The effort will require the contractor to have significant experience in Navy and Marine Corps operations and particularly the determination of ordnance requirements, and familiarity with Navy and Marine Corps organizations. Since the NMRP generates munitions requirements, the contractor must have complete understanding of Naval service warfighting concepts including Strike Warfare, Close Air Support, Anti-Submarine Warfare (surface, air, and sub-surface based), Anti-Surface Warfare, Anti-Air Warfare, Countermine Techniques, and platform self-protection techniques.

Along with the requisite warfighting understanding, they must also be able to translate warfighting concepts into mathematical calculations and model/software code.



The contractor must understand the principles of applied math and computational techniques upon which the NMRP system software was designed and be able to operate and make changes to the system software modeling code. All of the model descriptions and the corresponding documentation will be furnished to the servicing contractor in a ready to use status as Government Furnished Equipment. All changes to the models and the methodologies that the contractor makes during the period of performance of the contract must be thoroughly tested and documented by the contractor and provided as a deliverable to OPNAV N81.



The NMRP requires constant, secure collaboration between the vendor and OPNAV N81.

On day one of the contract, the service provider must possess the required security clearances, secret DoD facility clearance, and more importantly, secure connectivity (SIPRNet) with N81.
