- Description
- NOTICE OF CONTRACT ACTION (NOCA). This announcement constitutes a Notice of Contract Action for the proposed purchase of a Terrain Following Deployable Intrusion Detection Sensor for test and evaluation by the United States Air Force. The acquisition is to include all tasks needed to procure production representative pieces of hardware, develop contractor test plans and procedures, perform an evaluation/test with results documented, prepare technical installation and operation input material, source control drawings to establish a configuration baseline and support a test at Eglin AFB (i.e., train initial test cadre and set-up sensor). The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, Senstar-Stellar Corporation (SSC), under authority of FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The requirement is for an above ground line sensor that can be installed in less than 20 minutes per 50 meters by two personnel without specialized equipment. The installation area can vary in terrain and the sensor should be suitable where there is uneven terrain or vegetation that prevents effective use of line of sight microwave sensors, short distance breakwire or breakbeams. The sensor will also meet the Integrated Base Defense Security System (IBDSS) and Tactical Automated Security System (TASS) requirements for probability of detection, low invalid (combination of nuisance and false) alarm rate, and can be rapidly deployed. Specifically, this requires at a minimum, a probability of detecting an intruder of 0.90 at the 90% lower confidence limit. This probability of detection is 0.95 for fixed site applications. The sensor will also operate with a rate of two or less invalid alarms per sensor per twenty-four hours. System shall operate in the range of temperatures between -40 to +70 degrees Celsius (-40 to +158 Fahrenheit). System shall operate satisfactorily in non-condensing relative humidity ranges up to 95% and condensing relative humidity up to 100%. This deployable sensor shall meet performance requirements in sustained winds of up to 55.6 Km per hour (34.5 mph), without the aid of anchoring devices. Equipment shall survive sustained winds up to 90 knots (103 mph) (mounting devices shall provide a means to be secured with sandbags, weights, stakes, etc., to withstand more severe environmental conditions, as practical). Sensor shall operate in sustained rainfall of up to two (2) inches per hour, shall not be damaged by exposure to blowing dust or sand, shall be protected against the effects of lightning, surges and stray electrical charges, and shall withstand exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation without performance degradation for a period of 10 years. The sensor is required to report alarms of an attempted tamper. Sensor shall operate with a nominal 12 VDC supply and be operable with a Relocatable Battery Module (RBM) from the TASS equipment suite. With an RBM, each sensor shall operate without AC power for at least 72 hours when operated at temperatures between 0 and 60 degrees Centigrade. The RBM shall power the sensor for at least 48 hours when operating temperatures are between -30 and 0 degrees Centigrade. A further goal is for deployment of the sensor to be permitted without the need for radio frequency (RF) spectrum assignment/approval. Additional goals for sensor set-up are for variable sensitivity, incorporation of a remotely activated self-test and alarms that provide indication of any equipment fault. The unit cost objective is that a sensor will not exceed $7,500 for a 100 meter sensor segment. This notice 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. This acquisition is to be accomplished under FAR Part 15 with an awarded value of less than $500,000. Any firms that believe they can meet the above requirements may identify their interest and capability to the Contract Specialist via email within 15 days of this notice. Responses shall be limited to ten pages. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Contact Ms. Cathy Mirra, Contract Specialist, at Cathy.Mirra@hanscom.af.mil or (781) 377-5998 with questions regarding this notice. See Notes 22 and 26. NOTE: THIS NOTICE MAY HAVE POSTED ON FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (21-MAR-2006). IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 19-JUL-2006, BUT REAPPEARED IN THE FTP FEED FOR THIS POSTING DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
