It is proposed that the contractor be directly contracted for a research collaboration with NHRC on the project "Development and Testing of Epidermal Electronics" for the purposes of developing new technology for brain and physiology monitoring in a clinical and/or operational setting using novel low-profile electrodes.

The contractor will also conduct computational analysis on data collected from the EEG electrodes that they will design and produce as part of this contract.

The purpose of the project "Development and Testing of Epidermal Electronics" is to develop EEG technology that is paper thin, easy to apply to human skin, durable for over 24 hours, and provides quality EEG signals. While these electrodes will have many possible applications, the one relevant to this project is to devise a simple and comfortable sleep monitor. The technology will be tested for wearability and quality of signal in an ongoing study of PTSD during a residential treatment program. Finally, the signals acquired using the electrode technology developed will be analyzed by the contractor to develop a novel sleep staging algorithm.

The contractor will work on development of epidermal electronics as described in the following: "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING CONFIGURATION AND SPATIAL PLACEMENT OF FRONTAL ELECTRODE SENSORS TO DETECT EEG BRAIN SIGNALS OF INTEREST". These electrodes are the thickness of a sheet of paper and the size of a postage stamp. Development shall include the design, testing and recalibration of both wired and wireless devices. The wired devices should include a standard DIN connector for connection to a standard amplifier. Wireless devices should be self-contained on a single application and will transmit EEG signals to an amplifier located close to the subject.

Details to be optimized include electrode material, chemical interfaces, and electrode layout, among other details that may become relevant as development and testing progresses. The contractor will be in contact with Dr. Onton on a monthly basis to report progress on electrode development and any set-backs that may have arisen.

Three different designs will be pursued as part of this contract. The first is a wired electrode that can be placed in 3 locations on the head and plugged into a single isolated amplifier to collect the signals. This design is already well underway and requires only minor refinements to produce an optimal signal. The second design is also a wired device but is envisioned to be a simpler application to the subject. This design would be at least 3 sensors, but may be up to 9, that will be integrated on to a single adhesive patch that can be applied directly to the forehead. Electrode materials and interfaces should be quite similar to the first design, but will require optimization in terms of electrode spacing and orientation, as well as solutions for optimal management of exiting wires. The final design is a fully wireless system that may be applied to the forehead and/or forehead-mastoid, depending on results from the wired solutions above.

Production of epidermal electronics
60 Wired electrode sets (each set includes 3 electrodes); 30 Multi-channel wired electrode sets (each set is combined on a single strip and may vary from 3-9 electrodes):20 Wireless electrode sets (each set includes 3 electrodes that may be combined on a single strip):

Data Analysis
Design a novel sleep scoring algorithm, implementable on a Matlab platform that not only deciphers canonical sleep stages, but also detects and scores aberrations in sleep architecture such as abnormal frequency intrusions. This requirement will be delivered by 12/31/13

Final report detailing optimal electrode designs (along with solutions that did NOT work) to be produced by 12/31/13

Project areas are reforested areas, natural and managed stands of timber of all ages, size, and species, shrub fields, or grass areas. Fuels will consist of harvest activity slash, natural fuels, live fuels, and slashed shrubs and trees. Fuel loadings range from less than ½ ton per acre to as high as 200 tons or more per acre. Treatments such as brushing and piling have been shown to reduce the risk of wildfires and the severity of fires that do occur. Reducing competition between trees through the deliberate selection of leave trees will improve the overall health and condition of the stand based on the prescribed objectives. Tree selection and cutting of undesirable or excess trees will provide space for the leave trees to grow and develop, reduce the incidence of insect and diseases that affect growth, and undesirable tree qualities. It is the objective of this contract to treat vegetation and fuels present on units identified by the Forests to reduce fuel loading, optimize the treatment of those fuels to the most effective burning period, and decrease competition with residual trees.

The services of this contract are designed to provide for fuels reduction, tree thinning, and timber stand improvement on Region 4 National Forests. This includes furnishing labor, supervision, equipment, transportation, operating supplies (except those designated as Government furnished), and incidentals to perform all work necessary to conduct thinning, girdling, lop and scatter, pruning, fuel modification zone construction and piling.

The work will be performed only on U.S. Forest Service administered lands, again, Region 4 National Forests. Location maps where the work activities are to be performed will be provided at pre-award site visits and in the task orders.
This requirement is being solicited as a Firm-Fixed Price Request for Proposals. A Multiple Award IDIQ is contemplated. Performance Period will be one base year and four option years.

SCOPE: The USCG C4IT Service Center, Telecommunications Information Systems Command (TISCOM) has a requirement to provide connectivity to the Coast Guard Data Network (CGONE) to mobile assets (cutters, airplanes and portable networking kits). These assets when underway, airborne or deployed abroad leverage Inmarsat's Advances Services (Fleet Broadband, Swift Broadband, BGAN) portfolio of air time and support services to provide the path to the Coast Guard Multi-Protocol Labeled Switching GuardianNet network. The GuardianNet network then backhauls all Inmarsat Advances Services connections to the CGONE network. The entire path thus allows our forward deplayed units the ability to conduct their multi-mission tasking. This design and connectivity path is installed and has been in effect since 2009.

The Period of Performance (POP) includes a 60 month or 5 year ordering period from date of award.

InmarsatGov is currently providing the aforementioned Advanced Services air time and support services.

Description of Supplies/Services:

The Coast Guard uses Fleet Broadband (FB), Swift-64 and BGAN services to support underway cutters, aircraft and Portable SIPRNET Kits (PSK). These services are part of the Inmarsat family of services available commercially. The aviation Swift-64 service is a dial-on-demand service and is being upgraded to the Swift Broadband (SB) Inmarsat service. All Inmarsat services to the Coast Guard are supported 24x7 by the InmarsatGov Network Operations Security Center (NOSC). Each Coast Guard asset with an Inmarsat terminal has a unique Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) that allows tracking of air time. Inmarsat provides a database to the Coast Guard customer that allows tracking of SIM MB levels and performance and activity state of any Coast Guard terminal SIM.

The purpose of this contract is to obtain Inmarsat Advanced Service (Fleet Broadband, Swift Broadband, BGAN) data Single Corporate Access Plans (SCAPs). The vendor shall provide access to a portal for SCAP and Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) status and SIM reporting across all services. The vendor shall also provide the government with access to 24x7 support for all services. The contractor shall provide air time coverage for the following latitude and longitude (70°N to 70°S) satellite network to connect their installed terminal equipment to a shore Inmarsat Earth Station. The Inmarsat Earth Station uses a secure government network called the Inmarsat Government Network (IGN) to pass the Coast Guard asset connections to the co-located Coast Guard Multi-Protocol Labeled Switching (MPLS) routers at the Inmarsat Earth Station. The MPLS routers then route the Coast Guard calls via a network called GuardianNet. The GuardianNet network routes the Coast Guard data to the Coast Guard Data Network (CGONE). It is the Coast Guard's intension to purchase air time for up to 50 cutters and up to 40 aircraft. There will be airtime SCAPS for each service (FB, SB, BGAN) and the NOSC and database SIM/SCAP tracking will not be charged.

The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) number is 517410 and the business size is $30,000,000.00

The Marine Corps Systems Command intends to negotiate and award a contract on a sole source basis in accordance with FAR 6.302-1 to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC) for the acquisition of six (6) additional Low-Rate Initial Production units of the Ground/Air Task Oriented (G/ATOR) System.

The G/ATOR program is a single materiel solution for the Multi-Role Radar System (MRRS) and the Ground Weapons Locating Radar (GWLR) requirements. It is structured as an evolutionary acquisition program consisting of increments.  Each increment builds upon the capabilities of the preceding block(s). The purpose of the proposed contract action is to add options to an existing contract to procure six (6) additional LRIP units for a total of eight (8) LRIP units and onboard spares in Fiscal Years (FY) 2013-2017 in accordance with the Government Performance Specification, as updated by the results of the ongoing Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) test program and the product descriptions to be approved and validated at the Production Readiness Review (PRR). The LRIP Phase will include initial operating spares for LRIP, contractor engineering services and support, Developmental Test/Initial Operational Test and Evaluation Engineering (DT/IOT&E) logistics planning, and transition to production. Finally, the contractor will be required to conduct Production Verification Testing (PVT) on each LRIP unit and ensure all LRIP units represent the production configuration in accordance with the Physical Configuration Audit (PCA).

If the options are exercised, the estimated delivery requirements for all eight LRIPs are as follows: LRIP 1- 3rd Qtr 2015; LRIP 2 - 4th  Qtr 2015;  LRIP 3 - 2nd Qtr 2016; LRIP 4 - 3rd Qtr 2016; LRIP 5 & 6 - 1st Qtr 2017; and  LRIP 7 & 8 - 2nd Qtr 2017.
