- Description
- The following replaces the previous announcement in its entirety. We apologize for any confusion caused by the initial submission. 1. The Cryptologic Systems Group (CPSG), Special Projects Directorate at Lackland AFB, TX is soliciting your comments in response to several questions below. This RFI is not a formal solicitation and is not a request for proposals. Any formal solicitation will be announced separately. This RFI is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. 2. CPSG is developing a new generation of TT&C cryptographic devices to meet the needs of national security space programs and the Cryptographic Modernization (CM) program. These new devices will be used to protect satellite and ground station command uplinks and telemetry downlinks from disruption or exploitation by non-authorized parties. The Cryptologic Systems Group's Special Projects Directorate (CPSG/ZJ) is the developing program office assigned with the task of acquiring these cryptographic devices to support the modernization of Space TT&C for both satellite and ground control stations. 3. CPSG intends to award a single contract to modify an existing Crypto-Modernized terrestrial re-programmable COMSEC product, with an option for production. This modified COMSEC product will be used to replace existing/legacy Ground Operating Equipment (GOE) as well as a near term solution for new satellite ground stations. The modified End Cryptographic Unit (ECU) will replace legacy GOE that implements the KG 28/46, KG-29/57, KI-23, CARDHOLDER, and BELSHAZZAR algorithms. In order to meet the requirement of new ground stations the ECU will need to provide higher data rates and modern cryptographic features. The final ECU will be NSA Type 1 certified. 4. Please provide answers to the following questions. Your responses will be used in market research for this acquisition. Please send responses via email no later than 20 December 2005 to: jeffrey.hardin@lackland.af.mil a. Are you interested in competing for this requirement? If so, will you be proposing as a Prime Contractor or Subcontractor? b. Are you a Small Business? If so, what is your small business status, e.g., 8(a), Small Disadvantaged Business, etc? c. Do you have similar experience in development and/or production of these type devices? Please describe your experience in one or two paragraphs. See Note 26.

IT ACTUALLY APPEARED OR REAPPEARED ON THE FEDBIZOPPS SYSTEM ON 08-SEP-2006, BUT REAPPEARED IN THE FTP FEED FOR THIS POSTING DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
