COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF FEBRUARY 18,1998 PSA#2034Supply Department Indian Head Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center,
101 Strauss Ave, Indian Head, MD 20640-5035 A -- BAA 98-003, GREEN ENERGETIC MATERIAL SOL BAA 98-003 POC Brenda
Price, (301) 743-6570, Code 1143B E-MAIL: BAA 98-003,
BrendaPrice@mail.ih.navy.mil. The Indian Head Division, Naval Surface
Warfare Center in collaboration with the Naval Sea Systems Command, has
interest in proposals for lowering the environmental impact and
affordability of large caliber gun system energetic
materials/components (propellant charge, rocket motors, and warheads)
throughout the life cycle without loss of systems performance.
Technologies should be mature, and commercially available to allow for
transition into weapon system acquisition within a three to five year
period, Particular emphasis should be placed on the ability to reduce
life cycle costs of the material/component by addressing environmental
issues, ability to maintain or exceed current performance levels, and
the elimination of destructive disposal techniques. Specific areas of
interest are: modeling, simulation, and design; ingedredients
(energetic and inert); processing techniques; and recover/recycle/reuse
technology. Offerors are requested to submit an abstract of their
proposed effort prior to submitting a completed proposal to preclude
unwarranted effort on the part of the offer. Any offeror whose abstract
is found to be consistent with the intent of the BAA will be invited to
submit a full technical and cost proposal. Such an invitation does not
assure subsequent contract award. Abstracts should conform to the
following format: (a) title page -- clearly labeled "Proposal Abstract"
including the BAA points of contact along with telephone and facsimile
number and signed by the authorized officer; (b) a amximum three page
summary that includes an overview of the proposed technologies and/or
concept and how they support the objectives of the program, deliveries
associated with the effort, including estimated cost and schedule
broken down by fiscal year (fiscal year begins 1 October). Proposals
submitted within twelve months after publication of this BAA will be
considered for award if funding is available. Proposed work should be
structured to have a base period of performance of twelve months, but
may include multiple year phased options that could extend beyond the
initial twelve month period. No award can be made without a proposal to
perform a specific effort within an estimated cost and be made without
a proposal to perform a specific effort within an estimated cost and
schedule. The Indian Head Division Naval Surface Warfare Center
anticipates that initial selections will be made during the MAY/JUNE
1998 time frame. This announcement will remain open for 365 days from
the date of publication. Offerors may submit separate proposal
abstracts on any or all of the specific areas of interest. Proposals
may be reviewed and acted on as they arrive. The government reserves
the right to select for award all, some, or none of the proposals
received in response to this announcement. It is the policy of Indian
Head Division Naval Surface Warfare Center, to treat all proposals as
competitive information and to disclose the contents only for the
purpose of evaluation. Proposals shall conform to the stated format and
include the following information: (a) title page -- clearly labeled
"Proposal" including the BAA points of contact along with telephone and
facsimile numbers and signed by the authorized officer; (b) a one page
summary of the technology and deliverables; (c) a one page summary of
the schedule and milestones; (d) a one page summary of any proprietary
claims to results, or systems developed in or supporting this proposal;
(e) a statement of work clearly detailing the scope and objectives of
the effort, and, is any, specific contractor requirements -- if any
portion of the effort is predicated upon the use of government owned
resources of any type, the contractor shall clearly identify the
resource(s) required, the date the resource is required, the duration
of the requirement, the sources from which the resource may be
acquired, if known; (f) a technical approach with description of the
results, products, and transferable technology espected from the
project; (g) a brief overview of previous qualifications,
accomplishments and work closely related to this effort; and (h) one
page cost and fee summary, and detailed cost breakdowns by option year
(fiscal year), by tasks or sub tasks of labor hours by labor ctegory
and tasks/sub tasks, material, travel, computer or other direct or
indirect costs. Offeror's should submit proposal(s) (original, and two
hard copies) to Indian Head Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center,
Attn. Code 1143B (Brenda Price), 101 Strauss Avenue, Indian Head MD
20640-5035. To be considered in the initial contract award period,
proposals should be submitted by offerors within 30 days of
notification that their abstract was found to be consistent with the
BAA. Evaluations of proposals will be based on the following criteria
(1) overall technical merit of the proposed effort to reduce energetic
material/component life cycle costs, and to lower/eliminate adverse
environmental impacts for these materials/components: (2) potential
contributions/applications of the effort to energetic
materials/components related to large caliber gun propelland charges,
rocket motors, and warheads; (3) offeror's capabilities, related
experience, facilities, techniques, or unique qualification; (4)
innovation in the identification of problems and approaches to
solutions; (5) realism of schedule to meet program objectives and
transition points, and; (6) realism os the proposed costs and
availability of funds. All proposed submitted to Indian Head Division
Naval Surface Warfare Center shall be considered government property.
This announcement solicits the participation of all offerors capable of
satisfying the government's needs. The government will not cover any
costs associated with proposal perparation, nor pay, as a direct
expense preparation cost on award contracts. (0044) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0007 19980218\A-0007.SOL)
