Overview: The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) seeks information and potential sources interested and capable of modifying the Aegis Weapon System (AWS) Baseline 9 (B/L 9) Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Baseline 5.1 computer program. The modified baseline, to be designated Aegis BMD 6, must be compatible for operations in the United States Navy's (USN) DDG 51 Class Flight III ships, and with the USN's Advanced Capability Build 20 (ACB20)/Technology Insertion 16 (TI16), as well as the USN's Air and Missile Defense Radar, now designated AN/SPY-6(V) or SPY-6. III. Background: Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training (LM MST) of Moorestown, New Jersey, and its predecessor companies, has been the prime contractor for AWS since Aegis program inception in 1969, and for the Aegis BMD Weapon System since 2003. LM MST is currently performing a competed contract as the USN's Aegis Combat System Engineering Agent (CSEA) and LM MST is the CSEA for Aegis BMD Baseline 5.1 under MDA contract HQ0276-10-C-0001. Successful achievement of Aegis BMD 6 will require modification of the LM MST developed (and soon-to-be-fielded) Aegis BMD Baseline 5.1 utilizing engineering, development, integration, and testing for compatibility with the USN's ACB20/TI16 development. Integration will be made in conjunction with LM MST. The technical data to key elements of the Aegis BMD Weapon System computer program are unavailable in a technical data package. IV. Requirements: a. Development of Aegis BMD 6 must take place to meet specific program milestones (i.e. System Functional Review, Preliminary Design Review, Critical Design Review) within the allotted contract period, and those development milestones must coincide with and align to the scope and development milestones of the USN programs with which Aegis BMD 6 will be integrated (i.e. DDG 51 Class Flight III ships, SPY-6 and ACB 20). The developer must present an ability to meet an aggressive development and integration schedule, including multiple element integration, while remaining within justified cost constraints. This capability must be demonstrable with/by documentation/product demonstration within the previous four (4) years. b. The contemplated, phased requirements for Aegis BMD 6 include the following: 1) Modification of existing and in-development Aegis B/L 9 capabilities, focusing on integration of Aegis BMD 6 into ACB 20, to include compatibility with the SPY-6 radar (currently under development by Raytheon) 2) Achieve tracking and discrimination improvements to counter evolving threats 3) Achieve raid defense in support of homeland/regional defense 4) Supplement deployed assets with Integrated Air and Missile Defense multi-mission capabilities c. Potential sources must have in depth knowledge of Aegis system requirements; specifically ACB12/TI12 software including the USN's AWS Common Source Library (CSL) and AWS equipment design, Aegis BMD Baseline 5.1, and be able to provide proof of an ability to integrate multiple software and hardware components. V. Other Information: a. North America Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code: 541712 Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology). Size standard for the NAICS code 541712 is 1250 employees. b. Contractor will be expected to provide qualified personnel capable of performing highly technical efforts to include but not limited to engineering, design, development, coding, integration, and test. Demonstrated performance in program and project management, to include risk management, and efficient business operations processes and practices is expected. Application of effective system and program security measures will be required. c. Contract type: Cost Plus Incentive Fee; Initial contract action is contemplated by June 2017 with an estimated period of performance of approximately two (2) years post contract award. A follow-on contract action through FY 2025 to complete the development and fully integrate Aegis BMD 6 Weapon System into/with the Aegis Combat System, ACB 20, the SPY-6 radar, and USN DDG 51 Class Flight III ships in preparation for ship Interim Operational Capability (IOC) - currently planned for CY 2023 - is also contemplated.
