- Description
- Notice of Contract Action. This is not a solicitation; this is a follow-on announcement to a previously issued request for information. On 3 Apr 2003, ESC/DIG issued a request for information to identify possible sources for a transportable/deployable Hub Satellite Communications (SATCOM) terminal that operates in multiple SHF bands over commercial, national, and military satellites and that would be available for an operational demonstration to and evaluation by Air Force personnel in the summer of 2003. The purpose of this announcement is to publish the details of the previously announced demonstration/evaluation. The demonstration/evaluation will take place between 14 Jul 2003 and 29 Aug 2003 at Langley AFB, VA. Each vendor will have one week (Monday through Friday) for its demonstration/evaluation. Only one terminal will be evaluated at a time. The tentative schedule for each demonstration/evaluation is as follows: Monday - setup and technical evaluation; Tuesday - user familiarization; Wednesday/Thursday - usability/suitability evaluation; and Friday - tear down and pack up. The Air Force will provide space, power, tents or other cover, and any required satellite access. The Air Force will not pay for any costs associated with participation in the demonstration/evaluation to include shipping, travel, per diem or other related expenses. Detailed technical requirements and the evaluation criteria are available on the Internet at the Hanscom Air Force Base Electronic Request for Proposals Bulletin Board (HERBB) website: http://herbb.hanscom.af.mil/rfp_list.asp by selecting the link Theater Deployable Communications Hub Satellite Terminal. Interested participants should respond no later than 15 business days after publication of this announcement. Responses must include applicable DSCS certifications (if available) and INTELSAT identification numbers. Responses should also identify any preference for demonstration week. Note that our intent is to complete the evaluations as quickly as possible - we have allocated time for seven (7) terminals; if there are fewer responses, we will compress the schedule accordingly. Specific date or order preferences will be accommodated on a first come, first served basis. Interested participants who did not respond to the previous RFI must also include product specifications and details on how the product meets the requirements stated in the Technical Requirements Document as well as information as to whether equipment is available through GSA or other government agency contracts, with appropriate pricing information. Provide one (1) copy of the response to ESC/DIGK, 5 Eglin St., Attn: John Sorgini, Hanscom AFB, MA 01731-2100 (use 3 Eglin St. for Fed Ex packages). This is not a solicitation. This is a market survey. This notice does not constitute a Request for Proposal, nor does it restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach, nor should it be construed as a commitment by the Government. The Government will not pay for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement or any follow-up information requested. In addition, the Government will not pay for any costs associated with participation in the demonstration. Contact Joan Wandrei (781) 377-7965 or joan.wandrei@hanscom.af.mil with questions regarding this notice.
