- Description
- 1.The Director for the U.S. Army Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness (CSEPP), Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) intends to award a follow-on software support contract for a Chemical Hazard Prediction information system for use at the six (6) U.S. Army chemical agent storage sites. Commercial or non-developmental sources capable of meeting the CSEPP Information System key performance parameters (KPPs) described in this announcement should respond to this announcement no later 4:00 PM EDT, 15 Jun 2009 with the information requested in Paragraph 5 of this announcement. 2.The current software is a fully integrated emergency management system containing approximately 350,000 lines of Java/Javascript/JSP code, 200,000 lines of C++ code (in the hazard modeling components), and 200,000 lines of dynamically generated HTML code and formatting. The operating environment is Windows Server or Redhat Enterprise Linux. The system architecture includes the Apache web server, Tomcat application container, and the PostgreSQL database with PostGIS extensions. The software is currently in use at six (6) U.S. Army chemical weapons stockpile locations and their surrounding state and local governments. The Government does not have unrestricted rights to the current software. Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) Hazard Assessment Plume Projection Model: "The model shall be accredited for use at the six (6) chemical stockpile sites, with accreditation by the Army Safety Office (through the Army Nuclear Chemical Agency) and the Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board. "Model methodology shall be fully compliant with requirements in DA Pamphlet 385-61 and DoD Instruction 5001.61. "The model shall be fully integrated with existing U.S. Army emergency response information systems, including Work Plans, GIS, and local notification forms "The model execution times shall meet the CSEPP requirements for notification times of five (5) ten (10) minutes (depending on site), which includes the hazard assessment and protective action recommendation (PAR). "The model shall be capable of modeling all stockpile chemical warfare agents and potential release modes (spill, explosion, fire, stack release) "The Model shall be capable of predicting time-dependent chemical concentrations and concentration-time integrals (i.e., dosage), particularly Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGLs), and their accumulation times. "The model shall be fully integrated into existing real-time meteorological network at six (6) chemical depots, which includes multiple instrument towers both on- and off-post, and National Weather Service observations and forecast model output. Automated Information System: "Thin Client "Browser-based Workplan, Protective Action Recommendation, and Protective Action Decision functionality, status boards, and logs "Integrated hazard assessment plume projection model "Integrated browser-based mapping "Embedded training materials "Operated on multiple platforms (Windows Server, and Linux). "Functional on Internet Explorer and Firefox Ability to maintain, modify and further develop the chemical hazard prediction information software system based upon identified deficiencies "Changes must be implemented without interruption of emergency management performance. "Ability to maintain the computational model to fix software defects, shortcomings, and other changes as required. Information Assurance "Comply with the Department of Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) requirements. "Comply with Army regulation 25-2, Information Assurance Emergency Management Domain Experience "Ability to apply emergency management principals to the software development practice. "Experience with near-real time evacuation models, chemical dispersion models, and meteorological models "Knowledge and experience with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), Army regulation 50-6 and Department of the Army Pamphlet 50-6 3.The Director, U.S. Army Chemical Stockpile Emergency Management requests that industry sources interested in participating in the follow-on software support contract for Chemical Hazard Prediction Information Software System respond to this Government request with the following information: a.Name and location of the facility for the development and maintenance of the software system. b.Product designation and technical description. c.Product marketing literature. d.Certifications required in the KPP. e.Prior customers within the last 5 years, or the proposed product, including customer points-of-contact (names and telephone numbers). f.The Director, Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness may request you to provide an oral presentation of your product, not to exceed thirty (30) minutes, followed by a thirty (30) minute question and answer session. The requested information should be submitted electronically in Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf). When printed onto single-sided letter-size sheets the submitted information should not exceed ten (10) sheets. The information should be forwarded electronically to: Mr. Gregory Jamison Contract Specialist gregory.jamison@us.army.mil 410-436-4448 Fax 410-306-3714 And Mr. Darius Kwiedorowicz Automation Systems Manager, CSEPP darius.kwiedorowicz@us.army.mil 410-436-8829 Fax 410-436-3179
