After review of the responses to this sources sought announcement a synopsis and/or solicitation announcement may be published. (2) PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This requirement is for validation of Navy Threat Representations which are used to evaluate military system performance. The following are some of the types of threat representation systems: Radars, Electro-Optics (EO), Infrared (IR), Ultraviolet (UV), Acoustic, Jammers, Digital Models, Simulations, Targets, and actual Threat Weapons Systems in all facets of Electronic Warfare, including Electronic Attack (EA) and Electronic Protection (EP) modes of operation. The products consist of technical studies, technical reports, engineering analysis, and documentation which support development of threat/simulation validation data and documentation of the results to aid in the production of final Navy Validation Reports. (3) REQUIRED CAPABILITIES: In order to be considered a capable source, the vendor must have current, highly experienced, and credentialed specialists in the discipline of threat system validation for U.S. Navy threat representation systems. This requires a great degree of technical expertise in the fields of Military test and evaluation (T&E)/training objectives and requirements and U.S. and foreign threat systems such as Radars; Electro-Optics (EO); Infrared (IR); Ultraviolet (UV); Command, Control, and Communications (C-3) systems; Jammers; Digital Models; and Electronic Counter-CounterMeasures (ECCM) features and characteristics. Knowledge of defense and air defense related threat weapons is essential. Background and familiarity with the documentation of both parametric and performance differences for U. S. and foreign forces receiver designs, digital signal processing, power outputs and limitations are required. Ability to perform comparison, documentation, analysis and plotting of projectiles, digital missile fly-outs, and associated models is required. Additional requirements are: Knowledge, experience, and capability necessary to break down the integrated aspects and "critical parameters" associated with Electronic CounterMeasures (ECM) or ECCM interaction between the threat weapons system and the threat weapons asset it is being compared to or validated against to a high degree of technical detail. Knowledge and familiarity with existing Department of Defense (DOD), Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV), Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV), Commander Operational Test Evaluation Force (COMOPTEVFOR), Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), and the Navy Threat Simulator Validation Office instructions, directives, procedures, and guidelines. Working knowledge of threat system data collection; simulation data collection; development of threat simulator/target critical validation parameters; intelligence data research; responding to technical inquiries; participation in technical reviews; participation in progress reviews; and the development and documentation of final Navy Validation Reports. (4) CONTRACT TYPE: The Government is considering a 5-year cost plus fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (FFP-IDIQ) contract on a full and open basis.
