Description as follows: The Space Logistics Group Weather Sustainment Division intends to award a Firm Fixed Price sole source contract for a base period of one year with two one-year options. If all options are exercised, the period of performance would be from 23 Sep 11 through 22 Sep 2014. The reason is due to proprietary software used in the analysis for the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). This action will provide continued contractor support of data base maintenance and weapon system changes to the SATool, which allows validation of system performance and data for maintenance and supportability issues for systems assigned to AFSPC SMC /SLW for sustainment support. Systems assigned: Mark IVB Meteorological Data Station (MKIVB) AN/UMQ-13, Radio Interference Measuring Set (RIMS) (An/FRR-95); Solar Radio Spectrograph (SRS) (A/F24U-10); Solar Observing Optical Network (SOON) (An/FMQ-7), Improved Solar Observing Optical Network (ISOON, A/F35U-1, to start in December 2012 ). The System Analysis Tool (SATool) application is a unique weapon system management tool which provides the following: - System Executive Management Reporting - Analysis of maintenance data to support maintenance concept - Analysis of data to identify parts with high failure rates - Analysis of data to support budget forecasting - Access to legacy system data The SATool application interfaces with many unique Air Force and DoD legacy data systems: D200A, DO35, weapon Systems Maintenance System/Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability Information System (CAMS/REMIS) SATool has four primary sources of data and approximately 75 unique data elements. Each of these systems and unique data elements requires a detailed knowledge of each element and the associated detailed set of business rules. The contractor must have a System Analysis tool in place at time of award. SATool Sustainment Support: The contractor shall perform all tasks associated with the sustaining assigned systems metrics data in the SATool. Tasks include but are not limited to gathering, analyzing, converting, loading sources of data, updating and automating legacy data transfers to SATool, continuing to develop data interfaces and data feeds to/from Air Force metrics systems.
