- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT and is issued for INFORMATION AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. This is not a SOLICITATION. This is NOT a request for proposal and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to evaluate or purchase any goods or services. The Government will not reimburse for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information or materials furnished in response to this sources sought notice. Information received as a result of this notice will become part of our market research and used to determine interest and capability of potential sources. Proprietary information will be protected to the greatest extent provided by law. THIS NOTICE FOR PARTICIPATION FROM THIS NOTICE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. DESCRIPTION: The U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) is seeking potential sources with the capabilities to satisfy a requirement for host nation law enforcement entities operating in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico with a modern land mobile radio (LMR) communications system providing a variety of capabilities that will also permit the future integration of additional capabilities and external systems. Principle capabilities being sought are as follows: * secure digital communications * integration with the legacy Ciudad Juarez emergency call center * and interoperability among Mexican federal, state, and local law enforcement organizations using legacy LMR assets, to include law enforcement counterparts in El Paso, Texas. The Government is seeking information on contractors with the capabilities, capacity and interest in supporting the design, procurement, installation, and testing of the objective LMR system The contractor, independently and not as an agent of the Government, will be required to provide all goods and services at OCONUS locations and must plan accordingly, to include but not limited to insurance, security, licenses, warranties, shipping and logistics. The contractor, independently and not as an agent of the Government, shall provide all necessary materials, labor, equipment and facilities, except as specified to be furnished by the Government, and shall do all that is necessary or incident to perform the requirements of this Scope of Work. The specific items/parts that this SOW requires are included in the attachment. All requirements for new equipment are presented as Brand Name (see FAR 6.302-1). CONSTRAINTS Several constraints have been imposed on the objective LMR system that may bound the Contractor's solution space. The principle constraints are: 1) The Government of Mexico (GoM) legacy LMR systems extensively employ Motorola products. Therefore, the Contractor's solution must be based on the implementation of Motorola products. 2) The GoM has identified specific locations and frequencies where the LMR infrastructure (e.g., base stations, repeaters, etc.) are to be installed and operated. 3) Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) provided by the GoM shall be accepted on an 'as-is' basis. This GFE includes the aforementioned legacy infrastructure. 4) A specific Bill of Materials (BoM) has been generated and forms a part of this task order. See Appendix B to the draft SOW. The US Government (USG) recognizes that these constraints may prevent the Contractor from proposing an "optimal" system design. However, the Contractor shall leverage best industry practices, due diligence, and professional expertise to work within these constraints and propose a system design that satisfies the requirements specified. The Contractor may propose alternative solutions (e.g., alternative parts) outside these constraints. CAPABILITY: To maximize fair opportunity, all firms interested in performing this requirement may reply to this Sources Sought and shall provide the following: (1) Capability Statement (limited to 5 pages in length, singled-spaced, 12 point font minimum) to include: (a) company name, address, primary point of contact and phone number, company DUNS number and CAGE/NCAGE code; (b) positive assertion indicating registration in the Department of Defense, Central Contractor Registration CCR) database (http://www.ccr.gov); (c) demonstrate the ability to perform the requirement.
