A -- NAC4I and Munitions Test Improvement Contract II (CIMTIC II)

The contract involves the Air Armament Center’s 46th Test Wing Commander seeking specialized hardware, software, and prototype systems to enhance the facilities and infrastructure at the Eglin Range Complex in support of urgent test, training, and evaluation requirements for C4I and Munitions systems. The scope covers a broad range of tasks including design, development, testing, modification, installation, training, and transition support. It is structured as a delivery order contract utilizing Cost Plus Fixed Fee, Cost Reimbursable, and Firm Fixed Price types, with rapid proposal turnaround times to meet urgent needs. Key areas of work include test capability enhancements such as systems analysis, engineering, instrumentation integration; software development involving modeling and database design; on-site test and evaluation support; munitions-related evaluations encompassing guidance, compatibility, lethality, and system performance; and C4I tasks covering command and control, communications, intelligence, security, and system performance. The contract anticipates awarding at least two contracts, each lasting about five years, with flexibility to award more or fewer. Security requirements are stringent, with potential classification up to TOP SECRET/SCI, and all contractors and applicable subcontractors must obtain export control certification per DoD regulations before accessing sensitive technical data. Work produced will be government-use non-proprietary. An organizational conflict of interest clause excludes contractors who deliver prototypes from subsequent production competitions to avoid conflicts. The solicitation follows a partial small business set-aside process under NAICS code 334511, with a size standard of 750 employees. The draft RFP was released in April 2004, with the formal RFP scheduled in late June 2004 and contract awards planned for the first quarter of fiscal year 2005. Interested firms must retrieve the RFP from FedBizOpps, and a source list based on prior responses has been published for reference only.
