- Description
- The United States Army Kwajalein Atoll/Reagan Test Site (USAKA/RTS) is seeking industry capabilities for meteorological support services (MSS). USAKA/RTS is located in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) approximately 2,100 nautical miles wes t-southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii, 9 degrees north latitude and 167 degrees east longitude, approximately 700 miles north of the equator, in an intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). USAKA/RTS is located west of the international dateline resulting in a nor mal government workweek of Tuesday through Saturday, which corresponds with the Continental United States Monday through Friday workweek. USAKA/RTS is home for approximately 2,500 U.S. Government civilian, military, and contractor personnel who perform v arious roles in support of the missions of USAKA/RTS. USAKA/RTS provides substandard unaccompanied housing and limited family housing, limited dental and medical facilities, schools (preschool 12), dining facilities, department and grocery stores with l imited choices, recreational activities and most of the amenities of a small town of comparable size. The primary mode of transportation is bicycle with no privately owned motor vehicles allowed. As a Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB), RTS is re quired to provide meteorology support as part of its test support capability. Consequently, RTS has a continuing need for MSS to support operations by collecting, processing, and interpreting meteorological data; providing specialized weather forecasts; a nd providing meteorological consultation services. Additionally, MSS are needed to perform the normal duties of a weather forecast office and meteorological observatory. A Top Secret facility clearance will be required for this effort. It is anticipated that foreign participation will not be allowed at the prime or subcontract level.
