- Description
- The US Army Geospatial Center (AGC) has a requirement for Geospatial Research, Integration, Development and Support (GRIDS II).The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to determine if there are sources capable of satisfying the government's requirements. No proposals are being requested or accepted under this RFI. Feedback addressing the clarity, feasibility, scope, and potential alternative means of meeting the government's requirement is sought. The anticipated North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) for these requirements is 541512. The business size standard is $25.0M. Your response should identify your business size (large or small) in relation to this NAICS Code. Contractor personnel will require DoD security clearances at least at the TOP SECRET/SCI level for key personnel. Handling of material up to a TOP SECRET/SCI is required. TOP SECRET Facility Clearance is required. Storage Clearances of at least the SECRET level are required. Capabilities Package: AGC is assessing the existence of sources and is requesting capability packages from industry on the requirements below. We are seeking a prime that must be capable of demonstrating at a minimum, items one (1) thru eleven (11) below. The prime may employ partners to complete at least 90% of the remaining items and may employ these partners to complete the top eleven (11) as well, as long as the ability to demonstrate the top eleven (11) items on their own has been fully demonstrated. Interested Sources shall possess an in-depth understanding of the requirements listed below. Responses must be limited to no more than 25 pages and must address the following specific areas: 1. Knowledge and experience in Geospatial Systems research, development, engineering, analysis and operations, including identifying and addressing gaps in geospatial science & technologies. 2. Knowledge and experience in Systems Engineering, Software Development and processes. 3. Integration, execution and transition of C4ISR concepts, processes and architectures. 4. Knowledge and experience in establishing Army/Joint Information Systems Architectures and Geospatial Enterprise Architecture (GEA) using strategic and tactical communications for multiple Services. 5. Experience in sustaining and maintaining, Enterprise Service facilities including those used for Geospatial integration and prototyping. 6. Knowledge and experience in the development, integration and operation of various ISR payload types (including, but not limited to, EO/IR, HSI, LIDAR, RADAR, SIGINT, communications, etc.) into various platforms (from ground based to airborne) to support situational awareness, ISR and tactical requirements. 7. Knowledge and experience in formulating and executing Joint Capabilities Technology Demonstrations (JCTDs), prototypes and Quick Reaction Capabilities (QRCs) relevant to GES and C4ISR requirements. 8. Experience in providing operational support of C4ISR capabilities including field operational support, both CONUS and OCONUS, during war. 9. Knowledge and experience in developing technologies related to Intelligence Exploitation Tools, Full Motion Video (FMV), Dissemination and technologies for cataloging and archiving video. 10. Knowledge and experience with various Biometric technologies, techniques and procedures. 11. Knowledge and experience in acquiring, fusing and disseminating geospatial information and other sources (i.e. GEOINT, CI/HUMINT, SIGINT, MASINT, IMINT, Human Cultural, etc.) at various echelons, from handheld devices to and through National sources. 12. Knowledge and experience in developing geospatial services and web enabled architectures. 13. Expertise in understanding future research requirements and transitioning technology from research to systems (i.e. to Program of Records and COCOMs) and to operations). 14. Experience in examining and evaluating technologies and tools from Government, Academia, and Industry including, but not limited to, C/JMTK and C4ISR tools. 15. Experience in modeling and simulation analysis and development including data modeling generation and use of geospatial databases to support the simulation-planning-operations continuum. 16. Knowledge and experience in increasing the decision-making value of data as it develops into information and knowledge. 17. Experience performing 'what if scenarios' with data models, information, applications, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP), and Concept of Operation s (CONOPS). 18. Experience in technologies, TTPs and CONOPS related to Stability Operations. 19. Ability and experience to identify the utility and implementation shortfalls of policy and procedures from various Military Commands. 20. Experience in providing interoperable solutions to Army, other Services and other military systems (both coalition and Joint). 21. Experience in database development, management, and integration. 22. Experience in integration and support of other DoD laboratory capabilities for C4ISR applications. Interested Sources are discouraged to submit product literature in response to this RFI. Any submission of such product literature or 'catalog cut sheets' will be treated separate from, and will have no bearing on, any subsequent evaluation of proposals submitted in response to any resulting future formal Request for Proposals (RFP). AGC will not pay for information or comments provided and will not recognize any costs associated with submission of comments. RESPONSES ARE DUE NO LATER THAN 30 NOVEMBER 2009, 10:00 AM.
