- Description
- NA This amendment is to inform offeror's to view an attachment located on the IBOP website https://abop.monmouth.army.mil entitled V4 Performance Specifications V3.1. The Government requires a System Integrator and Service Provider for the management of the Appliqu? Computers, and related System Integration and Support Services, as a part of the Force Twenty-One, Battle Command, Brigade and Below (FBCB2) System. The government intends to acquire approximately 1,500 to 3,000 Appliqu? computers per year, and t he platform unique installation kits, installation services, training, site operations, field support and maintenance of these systems. The Appliqu? computer is a ruggedized computer system, which consists of a CPU Unit, a display unit, a removeable Hard D isk Drive and detachable Keyboard unit. The CPU should contain a current year technology processor, a minimum of 512 MB of RAM, minimum 10 GB removeable Hard Drive and a full complement of I/O ports and interfaces. The display unit is a minimum 256 colo r LCD with a minimum 800 x 600 pixel resolution. The display has an internal touchscreen capability, and is fully sunlight readable in bright sunshine, with brightness level that is gradually adjustable from full brightness to total blackout conditions fo r night time operations. The Keyboard unit uses a standard 84 key QWERTY layout, which is hot pluggable into the Display unit. It also incorporates backlight of keys, which provides the user a range of brightness adjustments and full blackout capabilities. The computer system must be capable of running the Solaris X.86 version 8.0 operating system and FBCB2 application software version. A detailed performance specification can be provided upon request to the Government POCs. The Government POCs are Major E ric Piatt, 732-427-4061 and Mr. Joseph Hill, 732-427-2862. This effort is anticipated to begin in November 2002 and is a five-year effort. This acquisition for the PM Force Twenty-One, Battle Command, Brigade and Below (FBCB2) is to continue the ongoing Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) effort, to continue to implement the Army's objective of digitizing the battlefield, and may transition to become the Full RateProduction (FRP) contract for the program. This procurement is subject to Full and Open com petition. TRW, Tactical Systems, Systems and Information Technology Group, Carson, CA is the incumbent on the initial LRIP effort which ends January 2003. TRW is the software developer under a separate Systems Engineering and Integration contract. The su bcontracted computer manufacturers are Northup-Grumman located in San Diego, California and Paravant located in Melbourne, Florida. The contract will be an IDIQ contract consisting of a five-year effort, spanning the 2003- 2008 years. The contract type is expected to be Fixed Price Incentive (FPI) for the hardware and selected services, FFP for data and appropriate services, with T&M for selected support services and tasks. This contract will be awarded to a System Integrator and Service provider, who wi ll take the most current version of GFE FBCB2 software, load it onto either subcontracted or GFE computer hardware, install on various platforms and perform the support services as required at various site locations. To mitigate the Government's risk in t he area of hardware production, the first two years of this effort will be performed using computer hardware that is to be produced by one of the successful initial subcontracted LRIP manufacturers. The System Integrator and Service provider will conduct a competition for a potential second source of computer hardware using a government coordinated performance specification during the first year of this effort, complete a first article qualification and reliability test prior to a source selection. The se cond year of the effort the computer buy may be 75% awarded to the successful LRIP manufacturer, with the winner of the source selection potentially subject u p to 25% of this years buy. During the remaining years of the procurement, the System Integrator and Service Provider may determine the computer hardware source. Award is anticipated in November 2002, with initial deliveries of computer hardware in June 2003, with support services, training and site operations beginning in January 2003. Installation schedules will be established yearly, with site operations anticipated at Ft Hood, Ft Lewis and other locations. Respondents should specifically address th eir capability to provide all the above mentioned services and activities at the various location required, how they would conduct a competition for a potential second source of computer hardware using a government coordinated performance specification dur ing the first year of this effort, and how the Service Provider would meet the government's need for a Total System Integrator. Respones should be mailed to U.S. Army, CECOM Acquisition Center, AMSEL-ACCB-RT-K(MAT), Fort Monmouth, NJ 07703-5008 or emailed to Alex.Matejka@mail1.monmouth.army.mil.
