- Description
- The Joint Interoperability Testing Command is the Department of Defense Interoperability Certification authority. Interoperability is the operational status of being completely operational with another organization/ manufacturer's equipment, policy, and process. The JITC requires the Clearwave to support core optical network testing which will allow JITC to conduct simultaneous vendor testing in the Advanced Technologies Testbed with increased efficiency. The switch is a non-blocking all optical switch with up to 320 inputs and 320 outputs to allow a large umber of ports to support multiple vendors. The switch supports data rates in excess of OC-768 and is based on MEMS technology which makes the switch speed agnostic. Since JITC tests high speed optical interfaces it requires a switch with high speed interfaces to support this type of testing. JITC requires: One (1) ClearWave FiberConnect (320 Redundant Configuration) Eight (8) (8x8) Patch Cards Thirty-two (32) Blank Soft Patch Cards One (1) ClearWave Field Replaceable Units One (1) IntelView Basic System Software (includes one client license and one device (system) license One (1) Training Course for six students for three days at Indian Head, MD This requirement is being procured from Cornet Technology, Inc. as they are the sole manufacturer of the Clearwave Optical Switch. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by JITC. NOTE 22. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within five days date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract 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.
