Description

This solicitation is being posted to both the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at http://www.fbo.gov/ and the Navy Electronic Commerce on Line (NECO) site located at https://www.neco.navy.mil/ While it is understood that FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the internet, NECO is the alternative in case FBO is unavailable. Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by NSWC Crane. Request for Information: This Request for Information (RFI) is the initiation of market research under Part 10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and is not a Request for Proposals (RFP). The Government does not intend to pay for any information furnished pursuant to this RFI. NAVSURFWARCENDIV Crane requests MARKET SURVEY information relative to a Persistent Collections Roadmap. Persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (P-ISR) is a crucial capability for conducting military, domestic criminal, and disaster relief operations. Persistent Collections is that part of P-ISR that involves sensing and processing, retention, and transmission of real-time data. Other possible NAICS codes include: 334111, 334118, 334220, 334290, 334511, 336412, 541330, and 541712. Other possible FSC codes include: 1080, 1550, 1820, 5810, 5811, 5821, 5835, 5836, 5840, 5841, 5845, 5850, 5855, 5865, 5895, 5980, 6030, 6040, 6117, 6150, 6655, 6660, 6665, 6710, 7020, 7025, 7030, 7050, and 7614. Based on the input of this RFI and the expertise of select SMEs, technology timelines will be documented at a one-week workshop starting on Monday, May 21st at the Unclassified level. Respond to this RFI by submitting one or more white papers as described below and by indicating your willingness to participate in the workshop. The objective of the project is to produce a strategic roadmap with key technological elements that will document the technology options for persistent collections technologies between now and 2030. The roadmap will be a tool for planning highly effective, affordable persistent collections technologies for the U.S. Military, other government agencies, and their partners. The Roadmap will map the timelines of Persistent Collections Technology born on airborne, land-based, and littoral platforms in support of tactical and operational applications. The major categories for the technology are in the following areas: Persistent IMINT Collectors, Persistent SIGINT Collectors, Persistent MASINT Collectors, Persistent Novel Collectors, Persistent OSINT Collections, Persistent Sensor Webs, and Persistent Network. Items under consideration for documentation in the roadmapping process are: Competitive Position Pervasive Competencies Systemic Challenges Technology Timelines Allied (companion, enabling) Technology Timelines Dependencies Drivers Key Enablers/Impacts Technology Gaps Science & Technology Brickwalls Critical Success Factors Futures Insights Information will be technically reviewed by NAVSURFWARCENDIV, other Navy, DoD, and Government organizations, and some academic and industry participants for the purposes of market research and the development of the Persistent Collections Roadmap. Respondents to this announcement are asked to indicate their interest in participating in the Persistent Collections Roadmap workshop. Some respondents from academia and industry may be invited to participate as working group members for this workshop. The roadmapping workshop will cover a broad range of technologies and focus on the long-range future. Therefore, no marketing and/or sales pitches will be allowed for submission and/or display at the workshops. Participants should be chief engineers/scientists/fellows or other similar senior personnel with an orientation toward the persistent collections technologies expected to be achieved in the next 30 years. GUIDELINES Interested parties shall submit via email a short brief (commonly referred to as a �white paper �) following the format discussed below. The following suggested outline and suggested page count is intended to minimize the effort of the respondent and structure the responses for ease of analysis by the government. Offerors should submit all correspondence (white papers, bio, and comments) electronically to the NAVSURFWARCENDIV Crane Contracting Office point of contact below NLT 1159 PM EDT 7 Apr 2012. Please insert �N00164-12-S-NB04 - PC RM � on all correspondence. Submit a white paper of one page or less in length that briefly discusses one persistent collections technology that will be a significant difference maker in Persistent Collections at any point between the years 2012 and 2030. If you were to focus your efforts on a particular technology that could be in the field during that timeframe and provide a highly significant return on investment, what would that technology be and why? Also suggest potential applications that could incorporate this technology. Respondents are encouraged to submit papers both on conventional technologies as well as advanced and exotic ones. Respondents may submit separate papers on as many such technologies as they wish. Such technologies do not have to be within the current or planned product line of their employer. Note that the responses to this RFI may be viewed by academic/industry representatives within the working groups. Therefore, do not submit any proprietary or confidential business sensitive information. Respondents who wish to be considered for an invitation to participate in the workshop must submit the following information with their whitepaper via email. 1.A short bio 2.eMail address and phone number 3.Area of expertise in terms of the above technology areas (e.g., Persistent IMINT Collectors) 4.Current role within that technology expertise Invitees will be notified of workshop details. Attendance at the Persistent Collections Roadmap workshop is limited to U.S. citizens employed by the U.S. Government, U.S. academic institutions, and U.S. industry. There will be no substitutions permitted for a person invited to the workshop. This Request for Information (RFI) does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB), a Request for Quote (RFQ), or a Request for Proposal (RFP), and it should not be construed as a commitment of any kind by the government to issue a formal solicitation or ultimately award a contract. The U.S. Government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse any companies or entities that respond to this announcement. Any costs incurred by interested companies in response to this announcement will NOT be reimbursed. Any costs incurred by invited attendees or their employers relating to workshop participation will NOT be reimbursed. The following point of contact is provided for information regarding technical issues: Mr. Todd Frady, email todd.frady@navy.mil, phone 812-854-6915. NAVSURFWARCENDIV Crane Contracting Office point of contact is Michelle Huffmon, email michelle.huffmon@navy.mil, phone 812-854-3735.
