Description

CONTACT: David Bogert, Electronic Engineer, 732-427-2387. The U.S. Army, Office of the Project Manager, Tactical Radio Communications Systems (PM TRCS), is seeking sources for equipments for existing tactical communications switching systems which have been certified interoperable for joint-services operation. The current contract for such equipment is with General Dynamics C4 Systems (GDC4S) located in Taunton, Massachusetts. It is contract number DAAB07-02-D-F603. To PM TRCSs knowledge, the only tactical communications switching equipment that currently meets the governments requirements is that equipment which is manufactured by GDC4S. Specifically, this Market Survey addresses the following tactical communicati ons equipment and associated items: Compact Digital Switch 98(CDS98), GDC4S part number (P/N) 02-2758810-1; five variations of the Switch Multiplexer Unit 96(SMU96), GDC4S P/Ns 03-2755652-1, 03-2758529-1, 03-2758533-1, 03-2758537-1, and 03-2759270-1; the A rmy family of Line Termination Units (LTUs), CV-4180A(V)1/T through 4180A(V)3/T, GDC4S P/Ns SM-D-823020-4, SM-D-8230205, SM-E-823115921 and SM-E-819294-2; the Transmission Interface Module (TIM), MD-1270(P)/T, GDC4S P/Ns 01-1402476-11 through 17 and  19 through 21; and the Tactical Interface Adapter (TIA), GDC4S P/Ns 02-2776329-1 through 3; Digital Voice Orderwire Interface Unit (DIU), GDC4S P/Ns 02-2785083-1 and -2; FLEXMUX, GDC4S P/Ns 02-2789503-1 through -4 and 02-2790129-1 through -4 and Baseband Node (BBN) Transit Cases, GDC4S P/Ns 02-2788972-1, 02-2788973-1, 02-2788974-1, 02-2788978-1, 02-2788979-1, 02-2788980-1, 02-2788981-1, 02-2788982-1, 02-2788977-1, 02-2788977-2, 02-2787726-1, 02-2790366-1, A3179311-3, 10-2790637-1, A3179643-2, 10-2790311-1 , 10-2790249-1 and ON649534-1. This also includes any and all associated GDC4S peripherals, cables, variable circuit card sets and upgrade kits, which are associated with the above designated equipment. The switching equipment must be able to load and run the Common Baseline Circuit Switch (CBCS) Circuit Switch On-Line Operational Program (CSOLOP) software, which is under the configuration management control of the CECOM Software Engineering Center (SEC). Additionally, any proposed alternative to the above equipment must be form, fit and function exactly the same as the aforementioned equipment. The equipment designated above provides existing, forward-looking, tactical switching systems, which have alre ady been certified for Joint Services interoperability by the Executive Agent (EA) for Theatre Joint Tactical Networks (TJTN). Any replacement systems must also be certified for Joint Services interoperability. All potential qualified vendors must possess sufficient knowledge of the Government systems listed below to ensure that form, fit, function equivalent components will successfully integrate into these Government systems: the Joint Network Node (JNN), the E xpeditionary Signal Battalion (ESB), the Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE), AN/TTC-39 families of circuit switch and message switching assemblages, AN/TTC-56(V)1 and (V)3 Single Shelter Switch (SSS), AN/TTC-58 Baseband Node (BBN) and AN/TTC-59 Joint Networ k Node (JNN) . This announcement is an expression of interest only and does not commit the government to pay for proposal preparation costs. Interested parties should be alert for subsequent announcements that may be published in the Commerce Business Daily. Responses to this announcement should contain a Title Page, Synopsis, System(s) Description, and Supporting Data.
