- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation pursuant to the Test Program for Certain Commercial Items addressed in FAR 13.5. Head Quarters Pacific Air Forces has a requirement for Upgrade to P25 Standards on an existing AMSS LMR system at Andersen Air Force Base (AFB), Guam. The infrastructure upgrade including training and maintenance will be firm fixed priced. Requirement is to upgrade and expand existing Motorola AMSS SmartNet, UHF 406 - 420 MHz, Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system at Andersen AFB, Guam to Project 25 (P25) standards compliance. The P25 wide area system will provide RF coverage for all vehicles and personnel equipped with mobile or portable radios, similar to the coverage of the existing AMSS wide area trunking system. Contractor will provide RF coverage maps after the system is procured. The contractor shall provide all personnel, tools, equipment and supervision necessary to install, integrate, optimize, and implement upgrade to UHF 380-420 MHz, National Telecommunications, and Information Administration (NTIA), 12.5 kHz-narrowband channeled, wide area, Project 25 standards compliant infrastructure. System will have the following features: digital (Project 25-defined Common Air Interface (CAI)), trunked (P25-defined control channel), Project 25 Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Digital Encryption Standard-Output Feedback mode (DES-OFB), and National Security Agency (NSA) Type 1 encryption. Infrastructure must support Project 25-compliant mobile and portable radios produced by multiple vendors. System must fully support all features/capabilities of Motorola P25 mobile/portable subscribers as Andersen AFB has significant inventory of these assets. Over-The-Air Rekeying (OTAR) and data capability shall be provided as separate optional CLINs in proposals. The primary site will be the Santa Rosa site with 15 RF channels and a second remote RF site will be located at the Nimitz Hill site with 5 RF channels to accommodate the initial 1300 ? 1400 users. The two sites will utilize the Anderson AFB microwave system for connectivity. System must be capable of flexible expansion for both channel capacity and additional sites around Guam to accommodate future growth by other agencies, currently estimated to grow to around 3000 subscribers with 5 or more RF sites. Commercial training related to the LMR system to be installed at Andersen AFB shall also be provided. Both resident and in-field classes will be required. Consoles---System proposal will include consoles to meet the communication dispatch requirements for the Fire Department (2 operator positions plus 1 position for Fire Alt location), Security Forces (2 operator positions plus 1 for alternate location), and the 36 AW Command Post (3 operator positions) at Anderson AFB. The consoles will be fully integrated with proposed LMR infrastructure and existing telephone systems for these locations. Maintenance Support-----The contractor shall provide maintenance for a twelve-month period of time based on a 24-hour restoral time for the infrastructure equipment to include microwave transport system. The contractor shall also provide a complete system check once during each 12 month time period. The contractor shall provide all qualified personnel, test equipment, tools, materials, and other items necessary for on-island presence to perform troubleshooting, repair, preventive maintenance and all other operational checks and adjustments required to keep the communications system working at an optimum level and at factory specifications. The contractor shall also provide 24x7 technical phone support. CLIN 0001 Infrastructure Upgrade to Project 25 (P25) Compliance FFP $_______ CLIN 0002 Training ?
