The Project Manager, Robotics Systems Joint Project Office (RS JPO) located at the United States Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (LCMC) in Warren, Michigan is seeking to identify sources capable of providing for continuous Satellite Support Services for the Robotic Systems Joint Project Office remote repair facilities (JRRF) located in both Iraq and Afghanistan. This effort will include all efforts necessary to provide internet and voice communications including on-site, in country on-call maintenance support 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for all provided on-site communication equipment and the provided up and down links. 2. Market Survey Request. This market survey seeks to determine industry capability to provide burstable bandwidth internet service for multiple locations in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The JRRF facilities have effectively utilized commercially provided satellite communication for several years at four locations. Because of the changing strategy in both Iraq and Afghanistan, the ability to turn on or turn off capability at different locations in each country is necessary. Currently, the requirement is for multiple sites in Iraq and in Afghanistan; however, this will change as the dynamics and strategies of the operations change. Therefore, a one year base effort with four one-year options each is required for the four known sites, and five one-year options each are required for additional sites, not yet finalized in Afghanistan. A. Services required at the Four Known Locations " Location 1 oBurstable Satellite Bandwidth of 2048 Kbps x 2048 Kbps oCommitted Information rate 50 Kbps Duplex oPCI IP Voice Office oRemote Monitoring and On-Call Maintenance " Location 2 oBurstable Satellite Bandwidth of 256 Kbps x 256 Kbps oCommitted Information rate 25 Kbps Duplex oPCI IP Voice Office oRemote Monitoring and On-Call Maintenance " Location 3 oBurstable Satellite Bandwidth of 256 Kbps x 256 Kbps oCommitted Information rate 25 Kbps Duplex oPCI IP Voice Office oRemote Monitoring and On-Call Maintenance " Location 4 oBurstable Satellite Bandwidth of 1024 Kbps x 1024 Kbps oCommitted Information rate 50 Kbps Duplex oPCI IP Voice Office oRemote Monitoring and On-Call Maintenance B.
