- Description
- This announcement serves as notice to all potential offerors that, on or about 18 December 2003, the Airborne, Maritime and Fixed Station (AMF) Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Program Office, Networks and Information Integration (NI) Directorate, Electronic Systems Center, Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts anticipates release of the Request for Proposal (RFP) FA8726-04-R-0001 for successful completion of the AMF JTRS Pre-System Development and Demonstration (SDD) Phase. The AMF JTRS Program has a two-phase development strategy: Pre-SDD and SDD. Pre-SDD is focused on the Radio Frequency (RF), network, and system architectures and initial designs for the AMF JTRS that will minimize platform integration costs. The purpose of this fifteen (15) month contract effort, which will be executed concurrently by two Contractors, is to define system requirements and interface requirements and to proceed with initial development through PDR. A key objective of this Pre-SDD contract is to define and document performance requirements and associated system architectures that enable common software and hardware implementations across form factors/configurations. The PDR will occur no later than eleven (11) months after contract award. The resulting modular and scaleable design shall result in a system meeting or exceeding all JTRS Operational Requirements Document (ORD) threshold requirements for the Airborne and Maritime/Fixed Station domains, accommodate all platform requirements, and support network-centric operations. The results from the Pre-SDD phase (networking attributes, platform interface requirements, and modular design) will feed directly into the Government's SDD planning. For SDD, the Government plans to conduct a full and open competition to select a single prime system contractor that will qualify the required number of JTR production sources, and to focus on post-PDR design, testing, certification. The SDD contract will include priced options for Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) of AMF JTRS. The Pre-SDD acquisition will follow the competitive procedures of FAR Part 15 and associated supplements and utilize full and open competition. The Government plans to award two (2) cost plus fixed fee (CPFF) and Time and Materials - Labor Hour (T&M - LH) contracts, executed concurrently and conducted independently by the contractors, to complete the Pre-SDD effort. There will be a requirement for data deliveries consisting primarily of technical reports, specifications, and interface control documents. The solicitation will be posted on the Internet at the Hanscom Electronic Request for Proposal Bulletin Board (HERBB) website: http://www.herbb.hanscom.af.mil. Under "Business Opportunities", set "Type" and "Location" to "ALL", click "Go", and then scroll down to "Airborne, Maritime, and Fixed Station Joint Tactical Radio System." In addition, the solicitation will be posted to Federal Business Opportunities website: http://www.fedbizopps.gov. Offerors will be provided forty-five (45) calendar days to respond to the solicitation. The Government will request that offeror's proposals remain effective for 120 days following receipt by the Government. Telephone requests for the solicitation will not be accepted. Foreign-owned firms, including Canadian sources, will not be eligible to compete. Interested contractors desiring business with the Air Force shall be registered in the DoD Central Contracting Reporting System. The Pre-SDD effort requires access to the following classified information: Unified Information Security (INFOSEC) Criteria (UIC). The Government will post on the HERBB a copy of a DD Form 254 to be downloaded for contractor completion of blocks 6a, 6b, and 6c. The completed DD Form 254 shall be submitted via facsimile to Mr. Richard Fox, ESC/NIK Contracting Officer, at 781-377-2657. Upon verification of the DD Form 254, the Government will contact the offeror to set up an appointment for offeror's review at Hanscom AFB, MA at a date no earlier than the release of the RFP. A hard copy of the completed DD Form 254 shall be provided with the submission of the proposal. The Pre-SDD effort requires access to certain waveform specifications and other documentation with Government Purpose Rights. The offeror will be required to sign non-disclosure agreements before any Government Purpose Rights data/information is released to an offeror, per DFARS 227.7013-7 and 252.227-7013(b)(2)(iii)(A). This NOCA does not constitute a Request for Proposal. It does not restrict the Government as to the ultimate acquisition approach nor should it be construed as a commitment by the Government.
