The NAWCTSD Office of Small Business Programs concurred with the set-aside determination. The PACRM MAC Small Business Coordination Record (DD 2579) was approved on 19 May 2020, supporting a Small Business Set-aside competition under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541330 for the PACRM, awarded 18 May 2021.

Please see the attached BAA Document (Amendment 03) for complete details - what you see below is only a brief excerpt summary.

NAWCTSD has comprehensive simulation and training systems responsibilities ranging from research and technology base development through system acquisition and life cycle support.  The Research and Engineering Competency is NAWCTSD’s arm of the laboratory system.  Its mission is to plan and perform a full range of directed R&D in support of Naval training systems.  The work covers the broad spectrum of training simulation technology as applied across mission areas and all stages of training.  It is intended that programs under the BAA include Fundamental research related to this mission.  “Fundamental Research” means basic and applied research in science and engineering, the results of which ordinarily are published and shared broadly within the scientific community, as distinguished from proprietary research and from industrial development, design, production, and product utilization, the results of which ordinarily are restricted for proprietary or national security reasons. 

The requirement for R&D conducted under this BAA is to explore unique training techniques incorporating innovative behavioral and engineering technologies, which are needed for more effective and/or less expensive training systems.  Technology products may include empirical research, software and computer models, test beds and proof of concept demonstrations.  Projects should provide insight to NAWCTSD personnel to optimize the use of training systems.  Research areas that are described in the remainder of this chapter are important, but other R&D topics supporting training systems may also be considered.  The following research areas and topics are not intended to be mutually exclusive but rather are often interdependent and may be exercised in various combinations at any time.  In fact, proposals that involve interdisciplinary teams are especially encouraged.

SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR DIVER COOLING SYSTEM IN CONTAMINATED WATER

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) is seeking information on commercially available cooling systems to be worn by US NAVY Divers in contaminated waters. Contaminated water is defined as water that contains any chemical, biological, or radioactive substance that poses an acute or chronic health risk to exposed personnel.

The cooling system should be capable of integrating with existing contaminated water diving equipment worn by the diver including Viking™ HAZTECH and HD dry suits, full body wetsuit, KM 97 with and without neck dam connection, or Full-Face Mask (FFM). The cooling system would ideally function in surface supplied, “free swimming” or untethered, and topside standby diver configurations. The cooling system should be capable of reducing thermal burden to sustain the following work rates:

• Threshold: 3 hours in 102°F water at 20 feet of seawater (FSW)
• Objective: 6 hours in 102°F water at 20 FSW

The information identified above is intended to be descriptive, not restrictive and to indicate the quality of the supplies that will be satisfactory.
