R -- STACS SOL F42610-97-R-BBBBG POC For copy, Kathy Stahler/Lmkr/(801)777-9350, For additional information contact Kathy Stahler/Lmkr/(801)777-9350 The following information is provided to do a market survey of industry to see if there are any potential contractors in addition to Logicon R&D Associates, who have the skills and knowledge required to complete this effort. The Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) System Program Office (SPO), Ogden Air Logistics Center intends to establish a contract for the Single Integrated Operational Plan (SIOP) and Targeting Application Computer System (STACS). The STACS will be a pair of computer platforms with the re-hosted silo-based ICBM software currently resident on the Triad Computer System (TRICOMS). The STACS will be used for ICBM employment and SIOP revision functions. The government is in the process of preparing a Justification and Approval (J&A) to proceed with a sole source acquisition to Logicon R&D Associates, Los Angeles, CA. This sustainment acquisition includes; 1) the incorporation of targeting revision and SIOP revision capabilities requiring knowledge in each; 2) rehost of the current targeting software which includes, but is not limited to Minuteman (MM) and Peacekeeper (PK) Mission Planning Program (MPP), MM and PK Execution Plan Program / Database Generator (EPP/DBG), and PK Strategic Targeting Support Software (STSS), which will require expertise in Peacekeeper and Rapid Execution and Combat Targeting (REACT) modified operational and simulation programs and expert knowledge of Fortran, COBOL, assembly language, JCL, and coding; 3) interface with the USSTRATCOM Strategic War Planning System (SWPS) Enterprise Database (EDB), REACT VAX, software under development on a Graphical User Interface (GUI) based PC, and the Wing Code Processing System (WCPS); 4) operational testing of hardware and software through the use of contractor developed and government approved test plans and procedures; 5) development or update of engineering and technical data including software data manuals, user manuals, utility manuals and written procedures for product production; 6) installation of the STACS hardware and software; 7) demonstration of the STACS hardware and software; 8) operational completion by April 1998 with nuclear certification by September 30, 1998. Since the EDB and GUI based PC developments are still in progress, the government does not possess the adequate documentation necessary to compete this effort. Logicon R&D Associates is currently the only known qualified source that possesses the ability and experience required to complete the STACS development by the government's need date. For this proposed contract action, the government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one, or a limited number of source(s) under the authority of FAR 6.302. Potential offerers may identify their interest and capability of responding to the requirement by submitting concise and program specific information to substantiate that they possess (1) knowledge of 20AF, 625 MOF/TAB SIOP and targeting products and two person control procedures, (2) knowledge of the IBM MVS/ESA operating system, (3) detailed knowledge of the SWPS EDB interface to STACS and STACS interface to the WCPS to include data structures, format, and content, (4) TOP SECRET security clearance, and (5) appropriate management, and engineering capability on ICBM nuclear certified software programs to meet program objectives without significant technical, schedule, or cost risk. Potential offerers are requested to submit two (2) copies of an unclassified response (limited to 30 pages) within 10 working days after publication of this notice to OO-ALC/LMKR, 6038 Aspen Ave SE, Hill AFB, UT 84056, Attn: John Stevens.
