- Description
- Description: The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) Telemetry Systems Integration & Support (TSIS) Program, Edwards AFB CA, intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ), Commercial contract for the refurbishment, upgrade, and enhancement of existing antenna systems on Edwards AFB and China Lake to Telemetry & Communications Systems, Inc. This acquisition is restricted. The Telemetry Systems Integration & Support (TSIS) program is an Improvement & Modernization (I&M) program initiated as a mid-life upgrade for the existing ground-based telemetry system used by 412 RANS. TSIS will upgrade all 412 RANS owned ground-based telemetry systems, which includes upgrading ten ground-based fixed telemetry sites, four trailer-mounted ground-based antennas, four ground-based mobile telemetry vans, and several additional antenna upgrades. In addition to 412 RANS owned ground-based telemetry systems, the TSIS scope includes the addition of C-band serial streaming telemetry (SST) receiving systems, SST transmitters on board AFFTC aircraft, and the modification of ground-based antennas belonging to the Test Pilot School. In addition to providing a mid-life upgrade to the AFFTC telemetry system, TSIS will enhance frequency spectrum usage by developing an AFFTC capability to operate serial streaming telemetry in C-band (4400-4940 MHz) as well as equipping the telemetry system with an iNET enabling capability. The iNET enabling capability will be limited to providing a communication channel in the telemetry antenna feed system and rotary joint to allow iNET command and control signals to pass. Requirement: The maximum value of this ID/IQ contract is $6.6M. The period of performance is expected to be five years after contract award. The requirement of the TSIS effort can be summarized as: • Provide midlife upgrade to existing telemetry systems. • Augment existing Edwards telemetry ground and airborne systems capabilities to operate in C-band (4400-4940 MHz, 5091-5150 MHz), as well as the previous capability for L-Band (1435-1525 MHz, 1755-1850 MHz), S-Band (2200-2290 MHz), and Upper-S-Band (2360-2395 MHz). • Provide iNET enabled communication channels, including command and control uplink capability. Contractors interested in this requirement should submit a complete technical package, which provides clear and convincing evidence that they can meet the Government's requirement. Anticipated award date is early October 2010. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, the Government will consider all responses received. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition 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. Responses must be received no later than (NLT) 2:00 p.m., Pacific Standard Time, 15 days from NOCA issuance. Responses should be submitted via: e-mail vanessa.shannon@edwards.af.mil or by fax, fax #: 661-277-0470 (please call and verify that I have received the fax).
