- Description
- In follow up to the previously conducted Airborne, Maritime, Fixed Station (AMF) Program Office, Small Airborne Networking Radio (SANR) Industry Day events, prior AMF Program Requests for Information, and to address changes in the intended acquisition approach, the Government advises potential offerors of the following adjustments for the SANR acquisition: 1. No bid samples will be due with RFP responses. 2. An initial contract will be awarded to two vendors based on RFP responses. Each contract will be for approximately 20 radios and include an option CLIN under the initial phase for up to 96 additional radios for use as test and integration assets. 3. The Government will conduct qualification testing on both vendors radio and down select to a single vendor (Date TBD). 4. The Option CLIN will be exercised at the down select. 5. Each contract will also include option CLINs for production of LRIP and, potentially, FRP quantities of radios and associated support. Only the down selected contractor will be eligible for any LRIP and FRP radios. The AMF Program Office is continuing to develop appropriate responses to the various questions and comments received from industry during the previously held Industry Day events. Due to the changes in the intended acquisition approach, the Government is revising its currently drafted responses to industry, and intends to publish appropriate responses as soon as possible. No formal response is required at this time from industry participants, but any questions or comments may be submitted to the attention of the Contracting Officer via e-mail at donald.w.morgan3.civ@mail.mil. All proprietary and restricted information shall be clearly marked. Any documentation provided will not be returned. No Classified information shall be submitted in response to this notice. AMENDMENT 1 - 10 JULY 2013 The AMF Program Office provides its responses to the various questions and comments received from industry during the previously held Industry Day events. The attached documents to this notice include copies of information presented during the March 2013 Industry Days Event, updates of the draft Performance Requirements Document (PRD), responses to the industry comments and questions, as well as RFI Follow Up Questions for Industry #3. In addition to the documents included in this notice, the Government intends to post the following documents for vendors related to the Industry Days event to the JTRS Information Repository (IR): 1) MSIP LL0060-200 Qual Test Criteria for AH-64D Gunfire Vibration; 2) 9337_PAR_IDE014_Chinook_Link_Analysis_RevA; 3) SysRS_AirSIP_8145766; 4) 9437-PAR_IDE014_UH-60M_Black_Hawk_Link_Analysis_RevB; and 5) 9237_PAR_IDE014_AH-64D_Apache_Link_Analysis_RevB. These documents will only be provided via the established JTRS IR access procedures. The JTRS IR is located at: http://jtnc.mil/Pages/Home.aspx. Industry sources are requested to review and provide written responses to the RFI Follow Up Questions #3, and submit the MS Excel attachment applicable to these Follow Up Questions. In addition, industry sources are requested to review the Draft SANR PRD Revision 1.00, and provide written responses by completing and returning the MS Excel attachment entitled SANR_Requirements_v1_00-Compliance_Matrix.xlsx. Industry sources should submit their responses and any additional information to the Contracting Officer, Donald Morgan, via e-mail to donald.w.morgan3.civ@mail.mil by 2:00 PM Eastern, 25 July 2013. The Government also anticipates release of a draft RFP for the SANR acquisition in late July/early August 2013, and Industry sources may supplement their RFI responses as part of any response to the draft RFP. However, the Government strongly encourages Industry sources to not delay submittal of any substantive comments or concerns with this RFI notice until the release of a draft RFP, as earlier responses are beneficial to ongoing Government planning. This notice is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute an RFP or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the Government is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Respondents are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in responding to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested parties' expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if issued. If an RFP is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website. It is the responsibility of the potential responder to monitor these sites for additional information pertaining to this requirement. Responses should be in MS Office 2007 or Adobe PDF formats. If a zip file will be used to transmit the information, please contact the Contracting Officer in advance to coordinate the process, as files with a.zip extension will be blocked from delivery via e-mail. Only UNCLASSIFIED information shall be included in any response. Proprietary or business sensitive information provided in response to this announcement shall be marked appropriately.
