The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), Research and Development, Chemical and Biological Technologies, J9CB, is seeking information from respondents who possess the capability to address various nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) missile intercept and debris propagation scenarios and requirements by enhancing existing models and/or through establishing new approaches. The requirements will include: 1) Increased fidelity of the missile intercept modeling capabilities to develop and demonstrate an integrated missile intercept and debris fly-down modeling architecture for intercepted and nominal functioning chemical, biological, and nuclear payloads that represent actual missile systems for real world analysis up to the SECRET classification; 2) Increased fidelity of the missile intercept modeling capabilities to develop and demonstrate an integrated missile intercept and debris fly-down modeling architecture for intercepted and nominal functioning chemical, biological, and nuclear UNCLASSIFIED threat target payloads that give all HPAC/Missile Intercept users enhanced capability to estimate real world scenarios without any additional need-to-know issues; 3) A capability to assess hazards associated with rocket failure and premature flight termination; 4) Increased fidelity of the missile intercept modeling capabilities to include: aerobreakup capabilities that include post-intercept structural failure of aeroshell structures, couple transient debris components with transport and dispersion code and aerothermal demise calculations that eliminate debris that will not reach the ground in functional or ‘sizable' form and providing an incident module with algorithms to simulate real-world ballistic missile interceptor systems; 5) Verify and validate the collective missile intercept models to establish a quantified confidence. Respondents also shall include a description of their ability to maintain labor categories possessing minimum SECRET-level security clearances available to support a program of this nature. Response Instructions: All submitted information shall be UNCLASSIFIED; do not submit any CLASSIFIED information in response to this notice. Respondents shall address the information described above (and any additional information the respondent should deem appropriate) via a Capabilities Statement (three-page limit) in Microsoft Word format and a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (five-slide limit). A rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost estimate for the services outlined above over a three-year period also shall be provided. In addition, respondents shall include their name, address, CAGE code, and DUNS; provide the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code that is most appropriate for these services and state why it is most appropriate; submit company size standard under the suggested NAICS code. The information shall be submitted via e-mail to
