- Description
- NASA/KSC is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for Central Station Fire Monitoring System vendors. The following information is sought. Please Explain/describe: I. Compatibility a. Compatibility with the present KSC Central Station Fire Monitoring Systems (CFMS). The present KSC CFMS systems are Digitize, Siemens, and Simplex. These monitor approximately 400 fire alarm control panels. b. Proposed system?s ability to readily integrate and monitor various types of signals (i.e. RF& Hard Wire, Digital Alarm Communication (DAC) inputs). c. All available fire alarm system manufacturers that are compatible with the proposed central station. II. Consolidation a. Capability to consolidate the 3 present KSC Central Station Fire Monitoring Systems (Digitize, Siemens, and Simplex) into a single, consolidated color graphics display. III. Separate Signaling (Vectoring) a. Ability to separately send trouble, supervisory and alarm signals to separate locations; Ability to perform real time vectoring of signals from primary monitoring location to a test monitoring location via click and drag application. This will be used for testing in support of maintenance operations and facilities modifications; Methodology for vectoring alarms, troubles, and supervisory alarms to designated color graphic display (CGU) units; and capability to transfer reporting for a designated panel from one CGU to another CGU and back again. IV. Simultaneous Testing a. Ability to test at least 5 different facility fire alarm panels simultaneously. Also, describe in detail number of fire alarm systems that can be tested simultaneously via remote monitoring. Specify if those simultaneously tested fire alarm systems must be the vendor?s brand or if they can be other vendors? brands. V. Wireless Communication a. Capabilities to provide wireless communication for remote facilities and for the Mobile Launch Platforms VI. Miscellaneous a. Availability of open protocol/license for the central station fire monitoring system. b. The proposed system is a readily available COTS product that is UL listed for its intended use. c. System?s ability to generate canned and custom reports in a Microsoft Office WORD and EXCEL format. d. Provide a list of fire alarm reporting systems that have been installed, with a minimum of 2 years of service, which meet all the above requirements and are of a similar size and complexity to KSC?s fire alarm reporting system No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service.
