- Description
- 1. THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE FOR THE PURPOSE OF MARKET RESEARCH. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE, REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL, OR INVITATION FOR BID. NO SOLICITATION IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. ALL RESPONSES WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE ACQUISITION STRATEGY FOR THE FUTURE ACQUISITION. 2. MacDill AFB is seeking sources interested in a possible contract to provide an upgrade of the existing Motorola 10-Channel UHF trunking, land mobile radio (LMR) system. The system shall be designed to operate in UHF, 12.5 kHz-narrowband equipment that complies with National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) directives. The LMR System shall support P25 trunking standard features, 9600-baud control channel, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption, and equipped to support Over-the-Air Rekeying (OTAR) and Over-the-Air Programming (OTAP). The system shall be software based and readily accept software enhancements for technology updates. The existing Motorola LMR system shall be used to the greatest extent possible. Services should include project management, systems engineering services, system design, system staging, equipment programming, equipment installation and optimization, acceptance testing, training, and maintenance support for the system. The system will support all the features associated with APCO P25 trunking protocol with use of the 9600-bps control channel and AES encryption. The P25 wide area trunked 12.5 KHz digital narrowband radio system will utilize P25 digital narrowband 10-Channel trunked repeater site and IP based dispatch consoles. The system shall be capable of future expansion to include additional P25 digital narrowband trunked repeater sites and additional IP based consoles as needed. The proposed system capacity shall meet the minimum requirements listed below: Number of Individual IDs 128,000 Number of Talk or Voice group IDs 16,000 The system shall provide RF coverage for base support users operating mobile and portable radio units. MacDill AFB understands reuse of the existing site will determine coverage and a coverage test will not be required. It is the intent of MacDill AFB to continue use of existing Motorola portable radios and accessories. The current equipment to be upgraded is as follows: Model Qty. KVL-3000 Plus 11 XTL-5000 34 XTS5000 - I 426 XTS5000 - II 218 XTS5000 - III 20 As required, the radios will also offer audio interface capabilities to the existing external consoles or public address systems that are currently in use with some of the radios that are being replaced. In order to interoperate with these existing subscribers, the system's IV&D solution must leverage the SNDCP protocol for any OTAR and OTAP applications. MacDill AFB is located in a lightening prone area. The existing RF site may not sufficiently meet R-56 (a Motorola standard) nor the DoD equivalent standards for lightning protection. The Contractor shall upgrade, as needed, the existing site to meet Motorola R56 Standard rev2005, "Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites" as it pertains to lightening protection. 3. All interested parties are invited to provide the following information about your company/institution, or any teaming or joint venture partners. Interested parties are requested to submit a statement of capability outlining past work relative to this requirement. The statement of capability shall include: a) Contractor Name • Address • Point of Contact (POC) • POC phone number(s) and email addresses • CAGE Code b) Description of Capability & Approach • Approach/Methods of upgrading existing Motorola LMR system • System Description c) Description of Relevant Contract Experience (Government and Commercial) • Contract number • Description of the requirement • Dollar Value • POC for the requiring activity • POC address, e-mail, phone number(s), fax number, and the company's web page, if applicable 4.
