Air Test and Evaluation Squad NINE (VX-9) Support Services

SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS The Naval Supply Fleet Logistics Center San Diego (NAVSUP FLCSD) is issuing this sources sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support this requirement for engineering services which will directly support Commander, Naval Operational Test and Evaluation Force (COMOPTEVFOR). The main testing squadron supported by this acquisition will be Air Test and Evaluation Squadron NINE (VX-9). The scope of this acquisition includes engineering and technical support for all phases of Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E). OT&E may be divided up into early involvement, OT&E planning, OT&E execution, OT&E reporting, and in-service monitoring phases. The OT&E phases may be generally described as follows: Early Involvement: This is the earliest OT&E phase of a program, and typically begins more than one year prior to the first scheduled OT&E event. Tasks and deliverables during this phase focus on planning and resourcing future OT&E, and coordination with DT&E (Developmental Test and Evaluation). OT&E Planning: This includes preparation for an OT&E phase of a program that will typically occur within one year. Tasks and deliverables during this phase center on detailed test planning and scheduling. DT&E coordination continues. OT&E Execution: This includes executing the actual OT&E. Tasks during this phase focus on scheduling, coordination, briefing, participation in, and debriefing test events. Deliverables focus on data collection and anomaly reporting. OT&E Reporting. This phase of OT&E centers on drafting the OT&E report after completion of the testing. This phase is time limited. Tasks include data collection and analysis. The draft final report deliverable is the contractor's prime focus during this phase. In-Service Monitoring. This optional phase occurs after OT&E is completed, reported, and the tested system is fielded. The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement.
