Emerging Cryogenic devices, electronics and Systems Program   3

1/7/2016 - Solicitation Amendment 0001 and Responses to all Questions submitted as of 5 January 2016. **************************************************************** 12/14/2015 - The Department of the Navy, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific (SSC Pacific) intends to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) No. N66001-16-R-0062 for the award of a Multiple Award Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ), Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) type contract to provide support for the Emerging Cryogenic devices, electronics and Systems Program. Capability requirements will include systems acquisition support, project management, systems engineering, integration, systems requirements analysis, planning, basic research, development, evaluation, and implementation directly related to emerging cryogenic technology for both current and future systems. These efforts include the following: (1) Research and development of Cryogenic Radio Frequency (RF) systems including signal detection, conditioning, conversion, processing and storage in the analog, mixed and digital domains; (2) Research and exploratory developmental efforts involving advanced cryogenic RF chain components (e.g., RF filters, RF amplifiers, etc.), advanced cryogenic signal processing components (e.g., DACs and ADCs), and advanced cryogenic core digital and quantum memory technologies for military RF receiver systems, including, but not limited to, Tactical Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) Systems; (3) Research and exploratory developmental efforts involving emerging cryogenic RF technologies exploiting Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) configured as RF arrays; (4) Research and development of the design and production of a small scale cryogenic packaging system operating at or below 77K on which cryogenic sensor package can be mounted for use in the direct detection of incident electromagnetic radiation; and (5) Research and Development for Tactical SIGINT Technology and other military system platforms. The prospective contract(s) will have a three-year base period with a single two-year option period. This is a 100% small business set-aside competition, anticipated to result in the award of a Multiple Award IDIQ contract. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this procurement is 541712 Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology), and the Small Business size standard is 500 employees. This is a new requirement; therefore an incumbent does not exist. A Bidders Mailing List will not be established and hard copies of documents will not be provided. The solicitation will only be available electronically on the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command E-Commerce Web Page at https://e- commerce.sscno.nmci.navy.mil under SSC Pacific - Open Solicitations. Any amendments, when issued, will also be available only on this web site. Matters posted on the web site are not terms of the solicitation unless the solicitation is written or amended to include such matters. FIRMS ARE ENCOURAGED TO REVIEW THE WEB SITE REGULARLY FOR UPDATED INFORMATION. Please contact Doris Richardson at 619-553-3309 or doris.richardson@navy.mil with any questions relating to the solicitation.
