The purpose of this meeting is to provide interested companies with an overview of the ASPERE Program and an opportunity to gather more information prior to the RFP being issued. A general session will be held in the afternoon for interested parties to obtain information from the Government Program Manager. The Air Force Research Laboratory, Rome Research Site (AFRL Rome), AFRL Rome has a requirement to conduct software development and system support for the Air Space Precision Engagement Research Engineering (ASPERE). ASPERE supports Air Force efforts in providing Air Force, Department of Defense, Intelligence Community (IC), other Federal Agencies, and Coalition partners with a software toolkit that provides a general data visualization and analysis infrastructure for the analysis of temporal, spatial, entity, and association information, report generation, incident reporting, workflow, and query/search. Web-Enabled Temporal Analysis System (WebTAS), Combined Information Data Network Exchange (CIDNE), and International Distributed Uniform Reporting Environment (INDURE) make up the primary software applications in the ASPERE toolset. The flexible toolset architecture provides access to multiple data sources, data mining, information fusion, and collaboration tools that facilitate trend, link, pattern, and distributed analysis to support activity prediction and customer unique capabilities like Strategic Worldwide Integration Capability (SWIC), Common Analytical Work Station (CAWS) and Master Air Attach Plan (MAAP) Toolkit. This effort will perform engineering and technical tasks and operations and maintenance support for current and new users of the ASPERE software toolset. Technical enhancements are needed to correct any identified shortcomings in the toolset and to provide additional capabilities, features, processes, and documentation. The enhancements will extend ASPERE toolset functions and provide more effective and efficient capabilities to meet the needs of the users. Due to real world events, rapid software releases (currently ninety (90) days) are required to maximize our technological capabilities at current and future deployed sites, worldwide. Installation support will be needed to install the ASPERE toolset software and hardware, and train users at multiple sites throughout the world. For example, sites such as CENTCOM, which involve contingency operations and quick response to warfighter needs, will require this installation support. Operations and maintenance actions will be needed to provide continued system support to current customer sites and to the new sites after system installation. In the course of performance, the contractor will interface with various DoD and Government agencies through visits and electronic means, and technical visits that will take place at various sites, worldwide. The contractor will also provide technical support to the Air Force Research Lab/Information and Intelligence Exploitation Division to assist in the analysis, design, development, integration, testing, and evaluation. Anticipated deliverables include software, hardware, and technical documentation. Please limit attendance from each company to two individuals as the total attendance will be limited to fifty persons. Attendees must be US Citizens or Permanent Resident Aliens. Proof of status is required for registration. Please register via email to the Government Program Manager at the following address: Michael.Welch@rl.af.mil. Attendees are encouraged to submit written questions in advance. Note: This is NOT a "bidders conference" and this announcement is not a contract, request for proposal, a promise to contract, or a commitment of any kind. The Government will not assume liability for costs incurred by any offeror for presentations, marketing efforts or data offered for examination; therefore the cost of preparing information in response to this notice is not considered an allowable direct charge to the government. Date: Thursday Sept 29, 2011 Location: AFRL Rome Research Site, 525 Brooks Road Rome NY, Building 3 Urtz Conference Room Time: Check-in 1:00 to 1:30; General Session, 1:30 to 3:30
