The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Directorate for Science and Technology (ST), Office of Advanced Technologies Intelligence (ATI), Quick Reaction Development Division (ATI7) is seeking contractor support for their rapid prototyping mission at Jupiter Station (JS). The purpose of this acquisition is to provide the necessary labor, purchasing abilities, and access to ancillary services to meet the rapid research and development timelines required by ATI7. The work to be acquired includes rapid design and prototyping of new technical intelligence capabilities, integration of technologies into various platforms, and evaluation and testing of technologies and unmanned platforms. The timeframe of the acquisition is not specified in the document. The place of performance/delivery is Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) in Florida. Notable aspects include the diverse combination of labor sets required, the use of short-term subject matter experts, and the need for first aid certifications for certain positions.
The acquisition will provide necessary contractor support to advance the rapid prototyping mission of ATI7 at Jupiter Station. ATI7 serves as the quick reaction and development arm for DIA's Office of Advanced Technologies Intelligence, focusing on three specific mission areas: rapid design and prototyping, rapid integration of technologies into platforms, and evaluation and testing of technologies and unmanned platforms. The work will be performed in-house at seven ATI7 facilities located on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The contractor will provide all labor, materials, equipment, training, access to ancillary services, and supplies necessary for operations and maintenance (O&M) and research and development (R&D) activities. The labor categories are divided into two groups: science/technology and touch labor. Each category has different education and experience requirements based on qualification levels. Notable positions include program manager, administrative specialist, network engineer, business operations and acquisition specialists, material buyer/purchaser, industrial hygiene/safety specialist, and technical resource manager.
Task 1 focuses on ATI7 general operation, maintenance, and mission support. It is divided into four sub-tasks that define the requirements necessary to support the operational capability of all rapid prototyping functions at the seven ATI7 facilities. Sub-task 1A includes positions such as program manager, administrative specialist, network engineer, business operations and acquisition specialists, material buyer/purchaser, industrial hygiene/safety specialist, and technical resource manager. These positions will provide various support services including administrative support, IT support, business and acquisition activities support, material purchasing, and industrial hygiene/safety support.
Task 2 focuses on ATI7 general research and development (R&D) project support. It is also divided into four sub-tasks that define the requirements necessary to support the research and development project activity at ATI7. Sub-task 2A includes positions such as technician-electronic, technician-remote sensing, computer scientist, fabrication technician, software engineer, mechanical engineer, operational engineer, bioengineer/bio-scientist, materials scientist/engineer, systems engineer, and chemist. These positions will provide support in various areas including electronic technician work, remote sensing work, computer science work, fabrication work, software engineering work, mechanical engineering work, operational engineering work, bioengineering/bio-science work, materials science/engineering work, systems engineering work, and chemistry work.
Overall, this acquisition aims to provide the necessary contractor support for ATI7's rapid prototyping mission at Jupiter Station. The contractor will be responsible for providing labor and other resources to support operations and maintenance as well as research and development activities at the seven ATI7 facilities located on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
