This Defense Intelligence Agency contracting notice for the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (solicitation HHM402-08-R-0211) was posted in August 2008. It is a combined synopsis and solicitation for a total small business set aside. The statement of objectives asks for studies of breakthrough aerospace technologies that could shape the foreign threat through 2050, covering lift, propulsion, materials, signature reduction and human effects. Contractor staff need TS/SCI clearance, and the base year plus four option years runs to 2013.
ADVANCED AEROSPACE WEAPON SYSTEM APPLICATIONS PROGRAM -HH ... Page 2 of? STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES FOR THE ADVANCED AEROSPACE WEAPON SYSTEM APPLICATIONS PROGRAM 18 July 2008 1. BACKGROUND: The l(b)(3):10 use 424 lof the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has the responsibility to provide guidance and oversight to the Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition process along with leveraging the DoD Intelligence Community to coordinate, produce and maintain projections of the future threat environment in which U.S. air, naval, ground, space, missile defense and information systems operate. 1n order to accurately assess the foreign threat to U.S. weapon systems, a complete as possible understanding of potentlal breakthrough technology applications employed in future aerospace weapon systems must be obtained. 2. OBJECTIVE: One aspect of the future threat environment involves advanced aerospace weapon system applications. The objective of this program is to understand the physics and engineering of these applications as they apply to the foreign threat out to the far term, i.e., from now through the year 2050. Primary focus is on breakthrough technologies and applications that create discontinuities in currently evolving technology trends. The focus is om on extrapolations of current aerospace technology. The proposal shall describe a technical approach which discusses how the breakthrough technologies and applications listed below would be studied and include proposed key personnel that have experience in those areas. 3. REQUIREMENTS: a) The contractor shall complete advanced aerospace weapon system technical studies in the following areas: 1. lift; 2 p!q)lism;3.ccnrd;4.p:mer-g::lleab1; 5.~1rcl1sla6:r1;6.rnallfals;7. cmlgJ-- Sin.due: 8. siglalure - (qfua, .-.-. raci:,ireq,.fhalccherertpn::xi.ds. At least one member of each analytica:I team must have a PhD, although that member can be on several teams. A technical plan for conducting the advanced aerospace weapon system studies described above must be included in the offeror's proposal. (c) Offeror must be able to produce integrated finished assessments in each of the above advanced aerospace weapon system technical areas. Finished reports and presentations, while highly analytical and technical, must be in a format suitable for dissemination at the highest levels of the federal government. In addition to the main technical section of each assessment, an executive summary utilizing clearly understandable (non-technical) language must also be contained in each report.(d) To assess relevant experience, offerors shall submit at least three (3) references, including a POC name and phone number, with a brief description of the business relationship with the Government or other corporations. rlactfbl, offerors should provide examples, conducted within the past 7 years, of having performed, as a prime contractor, the analysis, design, construction, and flight testing of high performance aircraft and/or satellites. Success in this program is dependent upon this capability and experience.4. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: The work under this contract shall be performed at the Contractor's facility. 5. SECURITY REQUIREMENT: Contractor company and personnel proposed shall be clearable and able to obtain a security and facility clearance upon award of the contract. All requirements specified in this S00 may be based on materials classified at or below Top Secret with access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/ SCI). The contractor shalt comply with the terms and conditions of the DD-254 BEFORE initiating any classified effort. The contractor shall notify the COR and Contracting Officer immediately upon the determination that higher classification requirements exist in order to accomplish the specified requirements. The contractor shall ensure ~(b~)~(~3)~,~,o~~ that each individual assigned 10 this contract shall be identified, cleared, and approved through PRIOR USC 424 to granting that individual access to, or authority to generate classified information in association with this effort. https://www.fbo.gov/index ?print_preview= 1&s=opportunicy&mode=form&id=2e30b8 I 92a... 9/8/2008
