I. ANNOUNCEMENT: As previously stated in the March 20, 2015 FedBizOpps request for information (RFI), the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/U.S. Army Forces Strategic Command Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site (USASMDC/ARSTRAT RTS), the U.S. Army Garrison Kwajalein Atoll (USAG-KA), Installation Management Command (IMCOM), and the U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology (NETCOM) have a need for test/mission operations, installation management operations, and command, control, communications, computers information management (C4IM) services in support of the Department of Defense (DoD), Military Services, and Joint Forces, as well as commercial tests, as an activity of the DoD Major Range and Test Facilities Base (MRTFB); requirements functions include operations, maintenance, and improvement and modernization (O&M and I&M). As further elaborated below, the various DoD stakeholder commands have collectively determined that each will pursue its own acquisition strategy and resulting contract(s) in support of each's unique requirements, which will result in three separate acquisitions for test/mission, installation management, and C4IM operations, respectively. The responsible contracting activity point of contact (POC) for each functional area (and separate acquisition) are listed below: Test/Mission Operations: Army Contracting Command-Redstone (ACC-RSA), Willie Travis, Director,
[email protected]. Installation Management Operations: Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC), Gary George, Contracting Officer,
[email protected]. C4IM Services: Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), Huachuca Division, Timothy Baker, Contracting Officer,
[email protected]. The functional areas (as shown in the published March 20, 2015 RFI) are described in greater detail below. Look to FedBizOpps for future announcements regarding each respective functional area. II. FUNCTIONAL AREAS: A. Test/Mission Operations: The USASMDC/ARSTRAT RTS MRTFB technical support services consist of research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) efforts for on-site and off-site engineering, technical support services, and materials required to operate, maintain, analyze, and modify the RTS instrumentation and related support systems. The USASMDC/ARSTRAT RTS instrumentation includes (but is not limited to) highly sophisticated one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art radar systems designed for collection of precise metric, imaging, and signature data; additional radar metric and impact location assets; telemetry data acquisition systems; and optics capabilities for highly accurate metrics, spectral characteristics, documentary video and photography, and scoring data. Further, these technical support services include: • Operation, maintenance, and modification of communications systems that provide secure and non-secure data, voice, timing, and control circuits for conducting test programs and space surveillance missions at USASMDC/ARSTRAT RTS, as well as routine administrative communication needs (note that this includes above baseline C4IM to include information assurance (IA) of these systems and networks); • Electro-magnetic frequency control, surveillance, and analysis; • Timing reference, synchronization, and control; • Photographic and video services; • Ordnance receipt, inventory, handling, and storage; • Communications Security (COMSEC) equipment receipt, inventory, and control; • Calibration, repair, and maintenance of Test, Measurement, and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE); • Mission planning and preparation to include evaluation of mission requirements, development of mission support plans and operational planning documents, preparation of operations schedules, and the adaptation of procedures as required to successfully support user requirements; • Design, implementation, testing, and documentation of hardware and software modifications to the instrumentation and technical support systems in order to maintain the state-of-the-art capability required by the complex RDT&E missions supported by USASMDC/ARSTRAT RTS; and • Operations, maintenance, and engineering services in support of USASMDC/ARSTRAT RTS. B. Installation Management Operations: Public Works: Provide sustainment, maintenance, repair, improvement, and minor construction of real property, roads, airfields, piers, and utilities located on the eleven-leased islands based on the annual Common Levels of Service (CLS) set by IMCOM in support of USAG-KA and its tenants. Tenants are responsible to identify and reimburse IMCOM for services above CLS. To accomplish the proceeding, performance shall include master planning, project design, space utilization (to include industrial and residential assignments, furnishings, and welcome packets), custodial services, vector and pest control, grounds maintenance, and shop equipment repair. The contractor will require full engineering support to include, financial planning, programming, budget execution, estimating, scheduling, and quality control to accurately capture costs and schedule performance for analysis, process improvement review, and billing to customers. Aviation Services: Aviation services fall into three categories: 1) airport operations; 2) fixed-wing operations; and 3) rotary-wing operations. Airport operations include the normal functions found at small-sized airport terminals. The functions include cargo and passenger processing, aircraft ground guides, refuel operations, fixed wing preventative maintenance and minor repairs. Fixed-wing operations include flights between Kwajalein Island and Roi-Namur (on average 4 round trip flights daily for cargo and passengers), Kwajalein Island and Wake Island (based on mission customer needs currently once a year), Kwajalein Island and Majuro, RMI (on average twice a year). This effort is primarily in accordance with DoD 4500.53 and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) operations and maintenance. Rotary-wing operations include flights between various islands within Kwajalein Atoll (on average 10 flights per day). This effort is primarily in accordance with Army Regulation (AR) 95-1, AR 95-2 and AR 95-20. Transportation Equipment: Staff, manage, operate, maintain and control transportation equipment providing surface transportation of people and cargo similar to the needs of a small rural city. Equipment needs range from small (electric cart maintenance, express work bus shuttle, and airport cargo and people shuttle) to large (150-ton cranes for radar maintenance, cargo ship container loading and off-loading). Marine Services: Staff, manage, operate, and control a marine harbor operations found at small-sized ports. The typical operations are surface transportation of people and cargo, maintenance of marine equipment and watercrafts, stevedoring, harbor control, and commercial diving.
