Description

The solicitation number for this effort is hereby changed from W15P7T-05-R-N009 TO W115P7T-06-R-N009. The Government intends to Award a sole source contract for the Production of the Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS) Receiver- ADDSI Receiver-Transmitter, NSN 5820-01-514-1408, P/N A3285962. The Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS) is a tactical data radio system that is currently in production and is managed by Project Manager, Tactical Radio Communications Systems, Fort Monmouth, NJ. EPLRS provides a mobile wireless data comm unications backbone for the Army's Tactical Internet, provides embedded situational awareness/position navigation, and is a common system for Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps warfighters. EPLRS is a key enabler for network centric warfare. EPLRS supp orts the Modular Army and is interoperable with US Air Force, US Marine Corps and US Navy EPLRS Radios. EPLRS mobile networks are used by Army Battle Command Systems (ABCS) and Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) host computers for situat io nal awareness and command & control. EPLRS consists of an EPLRS Network Manager (ENM) and radios that can be configured for manpack, vehicular and airborne use. FedBizOpps Numbered Note 22 applies. The Government conducted market research in May 2005 and d etermined that Raytheon is the only source that possesses the cabability and knowledge to meet the Government's requirements. The Raytheon Company is the developer and prime contractor for EPLRS radios and the EPLRS Net Manager. Raytheon Company maintains configuration management of internal modules and maintains the software source code. The Government does not have detailed documentation on hardware modules, software/firmware or source code. Consequently, the Government does not have the detailed document ation or source code to provide to a third party. A technical data package is not available. Scope of Effort: The Government's requirement for EPLRS calls for the Firm-Fixed-Price acquisition of up to approximately 3,000 EPLRS ADDSI Receiver-Transmitters ( RTs), with inherent production qualification testing and initial software programming requirements. Contract award is planned for the 1st or 2nd quarter of Fiscal Year 06. The resultant contact is expected to consist of a base year and one (1) option year. It is expected that initial deliveries shall commence within six (6) months after receipt of order. Production rates should average 200 radios per month with a surge capability of up to 400 radios per month. This will allow the Department of Defense to co ntinue to implement its objective to digitize and modularize the battlefield. Any radios produced under this proposed contract will be fully interoperable with the currently fielded system. The Communications-electronics Life Cycle Management Command (C-E LCMC)has established the Army Single Face to Industry Website to allow the electronic submittal of Requests for Proposals (RFPs), Request for Quotes (RFQs) and Invitation for bids (IFBs) from C-E LCMC to Industry.
