contact Ursino.2bu/Pklxb/(916)643-6304 The Air Force intends to award a
contract in the 3rd qtr of FY98 for operation of a Government Owned,
Contractor Operated (GOCO) Logistics Support Facility (LSF) which is
located in Albuquerque NM, and supports the Commander-In-Chief (CINC)
Mobile Alternate Headquarters (CMAH) program. The CMAH Program Office is
responsible for management and support of the Mobile Consolidated Command
Center (MCCC) systems. These systems are configured as mobile survivable
back-up Command, Control, and Communications centers for fixed primary
facilities employed by Commanders- in-Chief(CINCs) of US Strategic Command
and US Space Command. The MCCC's mission is to provide an enduring mobile
command center from which to operate during the tran-and post-attack phases
of a nuclear attack agains the continental United States. The MCCC systems
consist of a series of EMP hardened shelters mounted on semi-trailers.
Depending on the site configuration, these shelters may be joined in pairs
to provide functional workspaces for the command element, war planning,
intelligence, and communications capabilities. An RF cable distribution
system provides the internal communications capability for voice (telephone
and radio), serial data, and Ehernet local area networks (LANs).
Communications systems include various land line connections, HF radio,
VHF/UHF radio, AFSATCOM, and MILSTAR terminals. Finally, a group of
trailers and vehicles support the system. These include supply trailers,
fuel and water tankers, HVAC systems, and Reverse Osmosis Water
Purification Units. This contract will establish a long term relationship
between the Government and the prime contractor. Under this contract, the
contractor will assume reponsibility for operating the LSF. The LSF
provides a broad range of support for CMAH program activities. The core
services include: System Engineering Software Engineering and Maintenance
Configuration Audits, Accounting and Reporting Engineering Data Service
Center Management R&M Modification Development/Integration Operational Test
Support Integrated Logistics Support Planning/Development Technical Order
Development and Maintenance Component Repair/Procurement Wholesale
Distribution and Storage Programmed Depot Maintenance of Systems and
Subsystems Security Management Facility Management During any annual
performance period there are unpredicted tasks which generate contract
support requirements. These tasks generally include system upgrades and
integration to add or improve MCCC mission effectiveness. These tasks are
generated and ordered under the contract separately from the core work on
an "as needed" basis. Additionally, during the term of this contract, there
are planned modifications and upgrades which could involve a major
restructuring to the MCCC platforms. These include replacement of the
existing digital communications backbone, communications antenna signature
reduction, power generation and distribution system replacement, and an EMP
vehicle replacement program. These tasks, if approved and funded, will
require the full range of system development, testing, and integration
services; including system security accreditation and full scale
operational test and evaluation. These tasks also would be ordered under
the contract seperately from the core tasks. This acquisition is being
processed in consonance with the Federal Acquisition Reform and Federal
Acquisition Streamlining Acts (FARA and FASA). The government intends to
grant the contractor maximum flexibility in program management while
maintaining clear insight into all aspects of cost, schedule, and technical
performance of tasks related to this effort. Management systems, in the
form of military standards and specifications are not imposed and data
requirements are minimized to those required by statute. The contractor
