This notice is being published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 5.101 requiring the dissemination of information for proposed contract actions. This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract and is not a request for competitive proposals. The statutory authority for this sole source procurement is prescribed by FAR 6.302-1. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency intends to issue a sole source, cost-plus fixed fee type contract for one year (with a one year option) to RMGS, Inc., 4560 South Boulevard, Suite 298, Virginia Beach, VA 23452, to provide System Engineering, and Test Operational support for DTRA's WMD defeat efforts. This action will provide recommendations and functional analysis of technology specifications to define test objectives and parameters across the target hardness spectrum for the development of Statements of Test Objectives (SOTO). Provide recommendations for the development of Security Classification Guides (SCG) in support of test events. Exploit weapon systems and develop systems engineering measures to test against soft targets within the full spectrum of WMD and C-WMD. Perform systems engineering assessments supporting improvised explosive devices, pre and post detonation. Perform functions in the full spectrum WMD/C-WMD and CBRNE space to define limited access of technology gaps for weapons and weapon systems. Perform systems engineering for nuclear and non-nuclear weapons and weapon systems including small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAS) to support technology growth in defined capability gaps. Perform systems engineering analysis and assessments using counter radio electronic warfare systems demonstrating performance measures against testing of weapon systems, sUAS and improvised explosive devices. Perform targeting assistance with national technical means support to WMD/C-WMD testing. Perform systems engineering analysis to homemade explosives testing, defining capabilities and gaps supporting the WMD mission space. Exploit vetted systems engineering processes to assess, track and present capability gaps/shortfalls across the target hardness spectrum within the WMD defeat mission areas. Develop trade-off analyses to enhance performance while minimizing cost and programmatic risk to identify weapon system requirements for identified capability gaps/shortfalls for the purpose of developing technology maturation roadmaps. Perform systems engineering assessment of the technology gaps in WMD Defeat and Hard Target Defeat (HTD) weapon systems that currently limit the predictive capability of design limits/margins at the weapon system/subsystem/component levels. Support program integration across the WMD defeat mission across the target hardness spectrum and technology activity areas. Support matrixed test teams involved in CWMD testing to include IED and UAS threats. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement demonstrating the ability to provide the requested items or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received by Thursday, 22 March 2019 at 3:00 pm, mountain daylight time. Written responses to this synopsis shall contain sufficient documentation to establish a bonafide capability to fulfill the requirement. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. DTRA will not be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties in responding to this notice. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this synopsis. Please email Ms. Susan McDaniel at susan.j.mcdaniel.civ@mail.mil with responses or questions regarding this requirement. This notice will close on Thursday 22 March 2019 at 3:00 pm, mountain daylight time.
