ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS ANNOUCEMENT IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. PROGRAM BACKGROUND The Mission Engineering & Analysis Department (MEAD), a department within the Digital Analytics Infrastructure and Technology Advancement (DAiTA) Group under the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), serves as NAVAIR's competency and authoritative source for naval aviation warfare analysis, providing Modeling, Simulation and Analysis (MS&A) support to NAVAIR program offices, OPNAV, and the fleet for analytically defendable acquisition decisions and acquisition program execution. Within acquisition programs, warfare analysis is used to ensure engineering level performance and design are in fact meeting campaign, mission, and engagement level warfighting capability requirements. Using campaign, mission and engagement level models as a foundation, MEAD assesses weapon systems in the context of Major Combat Operations (MCOs) to support capabilities based acquisition. Additionally, the MEAD provides fleet technical support for the employment of weapons systems through the development of materials for the operator to safely and effectively employ the aircraft and its weapon systems, facilitating publication updates for new equipment authorized on aircraft as well as updating and maintaining published information for existing equipment and stores as well as the development of training products, courseware and curriculums and providing associated subject matter expertise. These activities are currently supported by NAWCAD Contract N0042117D0036. It is the intent of the Government to replace the existing contract with two separate contracts to be competed concurrently. The scope of work would be divided between Mission Engineering Analysis Support Services and Naval Aviation Weapons Systems Integration, Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS), Naval Aviation Technical Information Products (NATIPs) and Technical Support Services.
