- Description
- This is a modification to a previous notice. The following topic is added to MNK-BAA-04-0001: Concept and Design of Facilities and Equipment Enabling Advanced Energetics AFRL/MN anticipates a need for improved facilities and equipment to support expanding future in-house work in advances energetics including energetic nano materials. These new facilities and equipment are to enable world class research, development, integration, fabrication and testing of emerging advanced energetics technologies and future prototype munition concepts that incorporate advanced energetics. AFRL/MN is interested in receiving white papers on preliminary concept development, assessment/evaluation, cost estimate and/or presentation material for new facility or equipment concepts. Proposals for structural calculations/modeling and design needed to support Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board (DDESB) submittals/presentations required for siting and construction approval of the new explosives facilities to be located at MN’s High Explosives Research and Development (HERD) Facility are also of interest. This topic includes consideration and assessment of present and likely future applicable environmental, safety, and health requirements. Mr. Al Beach AFRL/MNME (850) 240-6236 allen.beach@eglin.af.mil r is expected, but not required, to leverage the concept definition work from the MOP Phase I program. The contractor shall develop a Draft Master Test Plan Outline (DMTPO), which includes all ground and flight tests. The PD and DMTPO shall be presented at a Preliminary Design Review (PDR) prior to delivery to the Government for final approval. TO 2 – Weapon Development and Preliminary Testing: The contractor shall develop a detailed hardware design. Simulation, aerostability analysis, component testing and other risk reduction activities shall be performed as required. Subscale models shall be fabricated and wind tunnel tested. The contractor shall perform and support the wind tunnel testing in accordance with the sponsor-approved Master Test Plan. The contractor shall conduct initial performance testing to include arena, blast lethality and penetration tests. The contractor shall conduct initial qualification tests and static tests. The Final Design including system specifications and Formal Master Test Plan shall be presented at a Critical Design Review (CDR). TO 3 – Weapon Performance Demonstration: The contractor shall fabricate and integrate the unit to be flight-tested. It is expected that five drop tests will be conducted. The contractor shall perform and support the flight testing of the hardware in accordance with the sponsor-approved Master Test Plan. The contractor shall also provide a final report. Test Support: The contractor shall be responsible for all test plans necessary for the maturation and demonstration of the hardware/software products to be tested. Contractor-generated test plans, as approved by the Government, will become contractual requirements. For tests being conducted at Government facilities, the contractor shall be responsible for providing technical support, analysis, data and test planning support to the identified responsible Government test organization. The contractor shall provide test support to include the following: support of test planning meetings; test setup and checkout; test article build up and transportation and checkout; installation of hardware; instrumentation package support; required documentation for testing; identification of risk and suggestions for improvements; record test setup; data collection for evaluation of results; post-test analysis and test result documentation. Data Requirements: It is expected that the following data submittals will be required: Study [DI-GDRQ-80567A, Subsystem Design Analysis Report (Study Report)], Status reports [DI-MGMT-80368/T, Status Report], cost/schedule management [DI-MGMT-81334/T, Contract Work Breakdown Structure (Cost/Schedule Breakdown Structure)]; [DI-FNCL-80912, Performance and Cost Report], program review info [DI-ADMN-81250A, Conference Minutes]; [DI-ADMN-81373/T], hardware design/drawings [DI-SESS-81002B, Developmental Design Drawings and Associated Lists], test plans [DI-NDTI-80566, Test Plan], test data [DI-NDTI-80809B, Test/Inspection Report], system specs [DI-IPSC-81432A, System/Subsystem Design Description], and final tech report [DI-MISC-80711A/T, Scientific and Technical Reports, Final Report]. Meetings and Reviews: The Government anticipates the following program meetings and reviews: Kickoff within four weeks of contract start date at offeror’s facilities; Technical Interchange Meetings at times coinciding with key program milestones or decision points that alternate between the offeror’s facilities and Eglin AFB; and a Final Program review at completion of the program at Eglin AFB, FL. The contractor may propose to conduct or participate in other meetings with subcontractors, Government agencies, or third parties, as deemed necessary. Proprietary Items: The Government is anticipating unlimited data rights to all data generated to include drawings and results. The Government highly recommends the proposed design include no parts, materials, or software that are proprietary. The offeror is responsible for explicitly identifying any proprietary materials, products, software, or processes to be used by the prime contractor or subcontractors in the performance of this program and to address acquisition of data rights or licenses, or expected recoupment of development costs for those proprietary items that will be integral to the hardware and software design and fabricated test items. Offerors should apply the restrictive notice prescribed in the provision at FAR 52.215-1(e), Instructions To Offerors - Competitive Acquisition, to trade secrets, or privileged commercial and financial information contained in their proposals. Additional Information: (1) Anticipated Period of Performance: TO 1 is expected to last 6 months with results deliverable in the middle of month 6. TO 2 is expected to last 10 months and TO 3 is expected to last 15 months. Total Period of Performance for the Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract will not exceed 5 years. (2) Type of Contract: The Government anticipates awarding one Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract to the offeror who the Air Force believes has submitted the most advantageous proposal, based upon evaluation using the Evaluation Criteria found within this document. (3) Government Estimate/Funding: The Government anticipates receiving approximately $11.5M of FY04-07 funds for this program. The Government expects TO 1 costs would not exceed $500K, TO 2 costs would not exceed $3M, and TO 3 would not exceed $8M. It is anticipated that an IDIQ contract will be awarded with a maximum ceiling of $20M since it is impossible to accurately estimate all requirements during the five year period of performance. This funding profile is an estimate only and is not a promise of funding, as all funding is subject to changes/availability and Government discretion. It is desired that contract expenditures be managed and billed so as to maximize FY05 expenditure of FY04 and FY05 funding. (4) Government-Furnished Property/Equipment/Information (GFX): The contractor is responsible for explicitly identifying required GFX, contacting the appropriate Government Agency for its utilization, and including any associated costs within the proposal. (5) Size Status: This acquisition is solicited under full and open competition. The appropriate NAICS code is 541710 with a small business size standard of 500 employees. State whether you are a large business, small business, small disadvantaged business (SDB), woman-owned small business, HUBZONE small business, Veteran-owned business, nonprofit, educational, or historically black college or university. (6) Notice to Foreign Owned Firms: It is anticipated that all foreign participation at the prime level will be prohibited. Foreign contractors may be allowed to participate as sub-contractors if prime contractor obtains the appropriate approval from the State Department. (7) Availability of Additional Requirements Information: A technical library consisting of specific MOP requirements and Phase I MOP results will be available, by appointment, for review.
