- Description
- BACKGROUND The Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) Advanced Space Precision Navigation and Timing (PNT) Branch performs basic and applied research and development in support of Navy and other DoD projects with specific expertise in the areas of space-based systems and related ground-based systems. Currently, the Advanced Space PNT Branch is heavily involved with various DoD and other national organizations related to all aspects of position, navigation, and timing programs. Specific interests include precision time/frequency standards for both space and ground operation, electronic design of satellite on-board and ground receiving equipment, quantum electronic design of atomic frequency standards, mathematical techniques for orbit determination and prediction, computer-assisted data analysis, radio-wave propagation, computer-controlled real-time receiving systems, remote sensing, micro processing, communications, and software techniques. SCOPE The NRL has a requirement for technical, engineering and scientific services for the development of advanced space precision navigation and timing systems to support applied R&D programs. NRL has a number of projects at various stages of development, including space-based and ground-based systems and leading edge projects that may be included in future space systems. Some of these projects involve long-term development, while others emphasize short time-frame deliveries of advanced technology systems. The requirements will include development of appropriate system hardware and software; systems analysis, modeling, simulation, test and evaluation; planning, management, engineering, and logistics support; experiment and performance data collection, analysis, and reporting. Due to the fast-track nature of some of these projects the contractor shall provide independent concurrent engineering of specified space systems, subsystems, components, and procedures. The contractor shall test and evaluate work in progress; initiate alternative or parallel inquiries; and otherwise verify the technical validity of concepts, designs, components, and procedures. This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice, No solicitation has been issued; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. It is the potential offeror's responsibility to monitor Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website (www.fbo.gov) for the release of a solicitation, amendments (if any), or other documents relating to this procurement. The solicitation and a detailed statement of work and other supporting information including contract data requirements will be posted approximately 15 days from the posting of this notice. Based on a survey of the market, the government has determined that the services to be acquired do not meet the definition of a commercial item. Therefore, the government does not intend to use the procedures as outlined in FAR Part 12 for this acquisition. It is anticipated that a Cost Plus Fixed Fee type contract with a base 12-month period of performance and (4) four 12-month option years will be awarded as a result of the solicitation. This solicitation will be issued under full and open competition. The current contract, N00173-13-D-6010, was awarded to SOTERA Defense Solution now doing business as The KeyW Corporation. NRL uses Electronic Commerce (EC) to issue Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and amendments to RFPs. Paper copies of the RFP will not be provided. The actual closing date for proposals will be stated in the solicitation when issued. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
