Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is hereby soliciting information relating to capabilities of industry sources to support Synergistic Decision Making Environments (SDME). The purpose of this requirement is to support the integration in a synergistic configuration for MDA post-LDO (Limited Defensive Operations) and quick turn-around continuing MDA legacy mission support to the Department of Defense. The need to develop and prepare conceptual models and surveys on how to improve MDA physical and information decision-making environments is the basis behind this announcement. The MDA has identified one company that it believes is uniquely qualified to perform this effort. Requirements include the conduct of basic and applied research, technology development, systems analyses, and systems integration in the quick turn-around physical prototyping and scale modeling for MDA’s informational and physical architectures. Potential sources must be capable of conducting research and development in the following areas: I) Concept Exploration: Includes analyses based on current/forecasted mission requirements (data gathering) impacting MDA decision-making environments through site surveys, market research, and interviews. This includes an analytical perception of how the MDA can better operate now and in the future based on conceptually scaled data sets, computer simulations, and in-house media production. This methodical insight and technological interface may lead to rapid integration, rapid reconfiguration, and rapid scaling of metadata to support developing MDA-enterprise requirements. Concept exploration may lead to a specific requirements definition package encompassing customer needs and architectural conception. II) Infrastructure Planning: Includes the ability to collect and validate information needed to identify decision-making environmental requirements and provide options through modeling, simulation, and prototyping to satisfy those requirements. Planning activities must encompass system engineering integration and stipulate requirements, milestones (schedule), location, and costs based on customer needs and conceptual exploration. The purpose of this planning is to identify and determine features of all decision-making environmental requirements, including command and control facilities, through life cycle development, acquisition, operation, and disposition. This information will be used for planning, budget estimating, and designing. Planning support may lead to a definitive vision, uniting notionally integrated systems and processes in an optimal spatial configuration. III) Design Presentation: Includes the use of concept exploration and planning strategies to produce virtual plans or designs associated with decision-making environmental concepts and/or modifications. These designs shall articulate the innovative advancement of current infrastructures to meet emerging mission requirements. The ability to make an informed build-out decision based on design presentation and functionality shall be a bi-product of this task. This effort requires recent experience in Command and Control design/build activities, proof of concept studies, 3D physical modeling, rapid prototyping, virtual operation, complex multi-media production, and graphical representation. IV) Technical Infrastructure Support: Includes direct technical support and consulting services to the MDA, JNIC and Operating Locations to include, but not limited to, infrastructure support to improve program integration, systems engineering, integrated analysis, information security engineering, information management, and facilities engineering. Support the modeling and future integration of operational and technical capabilities. Ability and experience in designing synergistic and complex multi-media secure collaboration environments for command and control decision making is crucial. Provide technical and operational guidance to Government project managers in their development of capabilities and recommend technical tasking for inclusion within the projects. Includes providing technical infrastructure support through rapid prototyping, 3-D physical modeling and other efficiencies for design, engineering, testing, and proof of concept processes. Work will require immediate access to Secret, Top Secret, and Special Access Program areas and information. The NAICS Code for this procurement is 541710, and the size standard under this code is 1,500 Employees (Not to Exceed). Firms having the required specialized capabilities of the above requirements should submit a Statement of Capabilities (SOC), 7 pages or less, for evaluation by the government documenting their ability and proven past experience in performing similar efforts. It is requested that the following be included: name and address of firm; size of business (number of employees); average annual revenue for past 3 years; whether large, small, small disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone, veteran and/or woman-owned; number of years in business; affiliate information: parent company, joint venture partners, potential teaming partners, prime contractor (if potential sub) or subcontractors (if potential prime); GSA Contract # and pertaining SIN #s if applicable; an indication and explanation of whether or not your firm would pursue a GSA Schedule Contract Award if it is determined to procure the FCSR requirement through Multiple-Award BPAs issued against GSA Schedule Contracts; list of relevant work performed in the past five years, including contract numbers, technical description, contract type, dollar value of each procurement, and point of contact address and phone number. All statements must be in font size 12, limited to 7 pages and are due by September 10, 2004. Technical questions should be directed to Scott Pillet at 719-567-9284 or email:
