- Description
- Computer simulation, operation and scenario generation and modeling technical support services are sought for the Distributed Mission Operations Center (DMOC), formerly known as the Theater Aerospace Command and Control Simulation Facility (TACCSF). Organizations having capabilities in the areas of military operational expertise in the weapons systems identified below, computer simulation requirements definition, exercise and test planning and implementation in a simulated environment, and scenario generation for large scale distributed simulations are invited to submit their qualifications for consideration. The DMOC, located at Kirtland Air Force Base (KAFB), New Mexico, has live, constructive and virtual operator-in-the-loop simulators which are used to replicate the all C2ISR elements in the vertical chain from decision maker to shooter for training, CONOPS development, mission rehearsal, RDT&E and studies and analysis,. DMOC currently includes (in alphabetical order): Airborne Laser Simulator (ABL), Air Defense System Integrator (ADSI), Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS), Air Force Synthetic Environment for Reconnaissance and Surveillance (AFSERS), AN/TQY-23 Operations Module, Airspace Control and Operations Training (ASCOT), ASTi Enhanced Dialogue Digital Audio Comm System, Airborne Warning and Control System Simulator (legacy)(AWACS), Airborne Warning and Control System Simulator (Plexsys MTC)(AWACS), Common Connectivity Device (CCD), Cobra Ball Simulator, Distributed Information Warfare Constructive Environment (DICE), Data Collection/Posttest Subsystem, Data Link Simulator, Data Loggers, Distributed Interactive Simulation Filter, Extended Air Defense Simulation (EADSim), Extended Air Defense Battlespace (EADTB), F-15C/E Weapons and Tactics Trainer (WTT), F-16 Desktop Simulator, High-Level Architecture (HLA) Gateway, Improved Multi-Link Translator and Display System (IMTDS), Joint Surveillance, Tracking and Reconnaissance System (JSTARS) Simulator, Joint STARS Work Station, Joint Tactical and Conflict Tactical Simulator (JCATS), Link-16/Gateway Terminal Emulator, Mapper, Master Simulation (MSIM), META VR Stealth Viewer, Missile Defense System Exerciser Remote Environment, Missile Tracker / Correlator System, Modular Control Equipment Simulator, Master Simulation Gateway, Next Generation Threat System (NGTS), Portable Flight Planning Software, REDSIM (DIS Logger), Scenario Generation System (SGS), Scenario Toolkit and Generation Environment (STAGE) , Simulation Cell (White Force), Space Simulation, Tactical Information Broadcast System(TIBS) Terminal Simulator, Theater Battle Management Corps System (TBMCS),. b. The battlespace is designed with an open architecture to facilitate connection of these nodes to emulate a variety of Theater Air Defense (TAD) systems, and architecture for various theaters. The battlespace is capable of simulating up to 10,000 simultaneous air and ground objects. The largest current scenario is 60 geocells (60x60 nautical miles each). Digital data bases (DTED,DFAD, and imagery)are used for terrain. The effects of electronic countermeasures (ECM) and atmospheric phenomenon are also modeled. c. The DMOC is linked to many military simulation facilities through T-1 lines and ATM clouds. DIS and HLA gateways and corresponding network components allow the DMOC to interface with a variety of joint, live, virtual, and constructive simulations. Translators are available to allow exchange of tactical data link messages between actual field equipment and simulation models. DMOC is also developing the capability to process live range data. d. The technical support will consist of operator and white force (Operators for the constructive simulations required to add realism and density to exercises and tests), support for tests and exercises, technical and analytical performance in support of the operation of the battlespace, technical and program management support, data collection, data reduction and analysis, test planning and reporting, requirements definition, currency analysis, system engineering, system software Quality Assurance/Configuration Control (QA/QC) and Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A) tasks. The contractor must be able to support surge requirements with appropriately skilled and cleared personnel, sometimes with little notice to support training and tests. Major deliverables will include test schedules, plans, scenarios, after action reports, technical reports, system analysis, engineering analysis reports, engineering drawings and schematics. Contractual effort is contemplated to be a 60-month effort. The estimated level of effort for this contract is 57,600 labor hours for the first year, increasing by 7680 hours per year thereafter for a total of 88,320 labor hours. A cost type contract is contemplated. A Top Secret facility/personnel security level will be required. Top Secret/SCI clearances will be required for 70% of the staff. All personnel must be capable of receiving a Top Secret clearance, although they are not expected to be necessary for everyone at this time. All personnel will be required to hold a Secret clearance. Foreign firms should be aware that restrictions may apply which could preclude their participation in this contract. This is a Small Business Set-Aside NAICS Code 541710 with a size standard of 1000 employees. An organizational conflict of interest clause is anticipated in any resultant contract. Reference AFMC FAR Clause 5352.209-9002, ?Organizational Conflict of Interest? (Aug 2002). A Draft Statement of Work (SOW) and information regarding the Pre-proposal Conference are attached to this announcement. A tentative schedule of events is as follows: Draft RFP 23 August 2004 Preproposal Conference 26 August 2004 Final RFP 10 September 2004 This is not a Request For Proposals (RFP) and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or ultimately award a contract. Any costs incurred as a result of this announcement shall be borne by the offeror and will not be charged to the Government for reimbursement.
