- Description
- The 96th Contracting Squadron, Eglin AFB, Florida is seeking a sources sought notice from potential vendors for a possible purchase of a Video RF System in support of the 46 Test Wing at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. The sources sought announcement number is F1T0DE7074A999. The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 334310, with a small business size standard of 750. Please identify/confirm your business size in your response based upon this standard. The 46th Range Support Squadron, Threats & Mobile Targets Flight has a need for a color video compression/recording system. The system shall consist of a color video capture device, some type of digital compression/decompression, an RF link for video, fiber/Ethernet connectivity at the receiver, a video switching capability and capable of display on a computer monitor. This sources sought request is for non-developmental items that are available for delivery within a time period of 6-12 months. This solution shall be used to assist in controlling mobile surface targets, land and sea. The system is to be used when targets need to be controlled from a distance of ? to 30 miles. The current system must be replaced due to the large bandwidth required for the uncompressed video signals. Due to the relocation of the frequency bands, the bandwidth of allowable frequency is being reduced from 1715-1850 MHz to 176501850 MHz. The capabilities of the new system must be able to support at least eight unique locations with 12 being the most preferable objective within the 1765-1850 MHz bandwidth. A JF12 certification is required as the new system will operate on multiple Department of Defense (DoD) ranges. The camera requires a minimum 30 fps frame rate, to allow for real-time visual cues of the terrain, but higher frame rates for scoring purposes are desirable. The ability to configure each camera to adjust for environmental changes at the camera?s location is required, but it is preferred to have the capability to remotely configure each camera. The cameras are normally installed external to the target; therefore, environmental protection of IP64 or better is needed. A latency of less then 200ms is also required between the camera and the receiver 1/4 - 30 miles away. Up to four cameras are used on each target, so a solution having the capability of sending a minimum of two videos, and a maximum of four, over one link using multiple streams or picture-in-picture technology is required. It is highly desired that this system be capable of supporting low-light level cameras and feeds from night vision capable devices, including forward looking infrared systems. Due to the destructive nature of the tests the system supports, an economical solution for the equipment to be installed on the surface target is preferred. That portion of the system that is on the target, and subject to loss, should not exceed a total cost of $5,000 per copy (in 2007 dollars) for all applications. A video-switching capability at the vehicle control area with fiber connectivity is also required to allow for the target video to be moved to different consoles as needed. The receiver system shall be portable and have fiber connectivity, as it will be installed on as-needed basis at facilities on the test site. The video shall be displayed on computer monitors, as the controller needs to be able to see the video as he controls the vehicle from outside the footprint. Based on the information provided in response to this Sources Sought request, video instrumentation may be selected to undergo a government test program to assess quality. The responses to this Sources Sought request should include information on the above referenced statements, and comments about providing a single system solution within six months with approximately 7-10 units to follow in the FY08-FY10 time period. The response to this Sources Sought request should also include all costs to the Government for equipment and software that is required to support the Government's test that will be supplied by the contractor. The Government does not anticipate the need for on-site support by the contractor during testing. This Sources Sought request does not represent a contract, a promise to contract or a commitment of any kind on the part of the Air Force. All responses to this Sources Sought request must be received No Later Than (NLT) 4:00 P.M., Central Standard Time (CST) on 23 April 2007. Send all source information to Mike DeNamur (Phone 850-882-0339), 205 West D Avenue, Suite 542, Eglin AFB FL, 32542-6864, or by facsimile to 850-882-1680, or by email at michael.denamur@eglin.af.mil.
