- Description
- This is a modification to MNK-BAA-04-0001 STRIFE amendement to make a final extension to the respond by date to 19 January 2004. et set) at range. Establish the Phase 1 design as the baseline design. Compare to Models & Simulations (M&S). Develop & deliver the remaining program test plan. Phase 2 (September 2006 – August 2008): Down select to a single contractor. Design, fabricate and perform static arena testing of the MR ROKM kill mechanism vs. representative MR ROKM air & ground target materials. Conduct sufficient design spirals, introducing materials and technologies as appropriate. Demonstrate and model desired fragment effectiveness for air & ground targets. Refine the modeling & simulation to include new designs and technologies. Phase 3 (September 2008 – August 2009): Perform a final kill mechanism design iteration and demonstrate via static arena testing. Conduct dynamic demonstration testing of the final MR ROKM design vs. an air and ground target (within set) or their representation. Update & finalize the validation of kill mechanism effects models. C—WHITE PAPER AND PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS: (1) White Papers: White Papers should address all areas indicated by the Evaluation Factors, including how the contractor intends to achieve the requirements and goals outlined in section A--REQUIREMENTS of this Amendment for the entire program. Experience and past performance should be addressed. A rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost estimate should be provided for each Phase. Additionally the White Papers shall include any partners, subcontractors, etc., to be utilized, discuss risk (schedule and otherwise) assessment and technology maturity level required to meet requirements and goals, and point out the modeling and simulation (M&S) software that will be used in ordnance package design and effectiveness assessments. (2) General: All offerors should apply the restrictive notice prescribed in the provision at FAR 52.215-1 (e), Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data, to trade secrets or privileged commercial and financial information contained in their proposals. For formal proposals, submit separate Technical and Cost Volumes, and mark them as valid for 180 days. Volume 1 should provide the Technical proposal addressing the objective and requirements, and should be unclassified, if possible. Any classified material must be provided in a separate Annex and must be properly marked and handled as such. Volume 2, Cost Proposal, must be unclassified, and should address the price, cost details, and a risk assessment of the proposal. Questions should be directed to the appropriate points of contact listed in Section E. Offerors may consider instructions contained in the AFRL BAA and PRDA Industry Guide, but if those instructions differ from this announcement, this announcement prevails. The document may be viewed and downloaded at http://www.wrs.afrl.af.mil/contract/Ind-gde.rtf. (3) Technical Proposal: In the event that the White Paper results in an invitation to submit a formal proposal, Volume 1 -Technical Proposal shall include, as a minimum, a broad Statement of Objectives (SOO) or Statement of Work (SOW) for the basic IDIQ contract, suitable for incorporation into the basic contract; and a contract schedule. Additionally, a SOW suitable for incorporation should be provided for Task 0001/Phase 1. Volume 1 should fully address the approach in accomplishing the Program Requirements of Section A above. The contractor must also provide a summary of relevant past and present performance. Relevant past and present performance is defined as performance by the proposed program manager, lead technical investigator and/or chief engineer supporting ordnance package programs within the last five years, or past efforts by other key personnel proposed by the offeror for performance of this contract. State the capacity in which these individuals acted in these relevant programs. Relevant past and present performance data shall be submitted to the Government no less than 10 days prior to the specified proposal submission date. In the technical proposal, the offeror shall propose and elaborate upon a specific Program Point of Departure Design. The offeror must provide sufficient technical discussion and technical detail to establish the soundness of the proposed approach; provide an adequate basis for assessing program technical cost and schedule risk; and form a sound basis for the cost proposed in Volume 2. To that end, the proposal shall address all aspects of the Point of Departure Design. The proposal shall also identify and discuss the suitability of the various modeling and analysis tools that the contractor proposes to use during the MR ROKM Program to accomplish the hardware design, and if and how existing modeling and analysis tools need to be modified. Proposals failing to provide adequate technical detail and discussion may be considered technically unresponsive to this BAA. The technical proposal shall also include an overall test plan, with a supporting test matrix and discussion, which identifies all contractor and Government-conducted testing, as well as the facilities at which the testing is to occur. To facilitate timely completion of pre-award surveys, offerors shall identify their own and subcontractor facilities and personnel, if any, to be involved in handling of explosives and other hazardous materials and the type and level of explosives/hazardous materials proposed. In this proposal, the contractor must demonstrate knowledge of the systems engineering process and make realistic assumptions of how this kill mechanism could utilize data provided by the host missile, as well as how its functionality and effectiveness could be affected by missile control surfaces, cueing, etc. (4) Cost Proposal: The Volume 2 cost proposal must include and segregate the contract costs, and also provide a total summary. The contract costs shall include, as a minimum, a labor category and man-hour breakdown, by Phase and by task, including applicable labor rates, a cost element summary including labor, material, travel, other direct costs, overheads, G&A, etc., and reflecting all rates for the contract and data, and an expenditure schedule for the entire program. The cost proposal shall include any proposed costs incurred by the kill mechanism manufacturer(s) in fulfilling their responsibilities to support manufacturing, assembly, and developmental testing of their kill mechanism. The offeror shall include estimates for the cost/value of any Government-Furnished Property (GFP), and all costs expected to be incurred by the Government associated with providing the equipment, facilities and support necessary to meet the contractor’s testing requirements. Any costs associated with data or data rights shall be separately identified in the cost proposal. (5) Page Limitations: White Papers are limited to 15 pages, which will include a ROM cost estimate. Formal Proposal Volume 1 shall be limited to a total of 50 pages, including charts, figures, tables, etc. The proposed SOWs and resumes may be included as an appendix, and will not be counted in the page limitations. The Government reserves the right to remove and return to the offeror any excess pages before the formal evaluation starts. Cost proposal Volume 2 will have no page limitation; however, the offeror is requested to keep the cost proposal to 30 pages or less, if possible. We request that the cost spreadsheets be submitted in Microsoft Excel format. A page is defined to be one side of an 8.5 x 11-inch piece of paper with information on it. Minimum print size is 12-pitch, with line spacing of not less than one and one-half for the typeface used (no more than 34 lines per page) for formal proposals. White Papers may be single-spaced. Proposals shall be submitted as an original document and five paper copies, and one copy of both the Technical and Cost Proposals should be submitted on CD or DVD. Note: Submittal of a proposal constitutes contract NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON WWW.FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (10-JUN-2005).
