Description

The Air Armament Center, 46th Test Wing, Eglin AFB FL, is seeking sources to develop and complete a detailed design and analysis of a large stabilized floating platform to be used to support live fire test and training events in the Gulf of Mexico. The results of this effort will provide a design capable of providing the necessary stability to support operation in ten (10) foot seas. The design will also incorporate a wave attenuation capability to provide a smooth sea on the leeward side of the platform to facilitate loading and unloading of equipment and/or personnel. The size of the initial platform will be approximately one (1) acre capable of being expanded to approximately five (5) acres as mission requirements are defined. The design shall incorporate options to operate in various depths of 100 feet to 500 feet. The design of the platform shall include the capability to withstand impacts from live and inert warheads from AGM-158 JASSM, GBU-39B SDB, and AGM-88 HARM. The design including the mooring system shall incorporate the capability to withstand the effects of a hurricane such as Ivan (2004). Potential sources shall provide a Statement of Capabilities for this effort to include information that is pertinent and specific in the design of the stabilized platform in each of the following qualifications: (1) Experience: An outline of previous projects, specific work previously performed or being performed and any in-house research and development effort; (2) Personnel: Name, professional qualifications and specific experience of scientist, engineers and technical personnel who may be assigned as design engineers, assistant engineers, technical personnel and/or project officer; (3) Facilities: Availability and description of special facilities required to perform in the technical areas under consideration. Sources should also indicate what, if any, Government/industrial security clearance they possess. Any other specific and pertinent information as pertains to this particular area of maritime design/capabilities that would enhance the Government?s consideration and evaluation of the information provided should also be submitted. Potential sources shall also be capable of completing the complete design no later than six (6) months following contract award.? The North American Industry Classification Series (NAICS) Code for this effort is 541330. Firms responding to this announcement should indicate whether or not they are a small business, hub-zone small business or small disadvantaged business concern as defined in FAR 19.001, and also if they are 8(a) certified.
