- Description
- The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego (SSC-SD) intends to procure on a full and open competition basis research and development services to design and prototype Small Antenna Systems (SAS) units for use with GPS receivers. Due to space constraints, current rotary-wing military platforms utilize GPS antenna systems with no inherent jamming resistance. The program objective is to increase the GPS jamming immunity available to these platforms by developing one or more anti-jam antenna system solutions to accommodate the differing installation requirements of the various end- users. The SAS must be backward-compatible with the existing user equipment for the intended platform(s). SSC-SD anticipates issuing multiple completion type contracts in support of this effort. The expected funding is several million dollars for a multi-year program that is intended to develop production representative units. A survey of the industry response to an SAS RFI in Aug 2006 suggests that the most favorable end-to-end solutions may not reside with a single vendor. Therefore, company teaming is encouraged to exploit the promising antenna or signal processing technologies of separate firms in common system-level solutions. Access to portions of the solicitation resulting from this announcement shall require a facility clearance of secret. Interested parties lacking a secret facility clearance will not have access to all specifications under this project. Therefore, SSC-SD requests that potential offerors submit the following information to the SSC-SD contracts negotiator: Company Name; Address of business unit proposed; company cage code. This information will be used to verify that interested parties are permitted access to all specifications prior to solicitation issuance. The Contracting Officer has determined the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) number for this procurement to be 541710. An Industry Day is scheduled for 08-09 May 2007.
