- Description
- This announcement is not a Request for Proposals (RFP) and constitutes only a sources sought for a potential solicitation. The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), on behalf of the Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) Program Office (MPO), has a requirement to continue production, SE&I and sustainment activities provided for the MIDS JTRS variant terminals, to include Concurrent Multi-Netting-4 (CMN-4) and Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT) and is exploring whether the present developers/producers of the MIDS JTRS terminals are the only viable sources for continuing production, SE&I and sustainment. CMN-4 consists of two capabilities, Concurrent Multi-Netting (CMN) and Concurrent Contention Receive (CCR). CMN is the ability of a Link 16 Terminal to receive multiple messages, each in different Link 16 nets, within the same Link 16 time slot. CCR is the ability of a Link 16 Terminal to receive multiple messages in the same Link 16 net within the same Link 16 time slots. TTNT is a networking waveform capable of IP and low latency non-IP data exchange and is required to be integrated within the current MIDS JTRS terminal and must meet the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and PEO(T) System- of-Systems requirements. Both CMN-4 and TTNT acquisition efforts are being conducted by the incumbents, Data Link Solutions, L.L.C and ViaSat Incorporated, under separate J&As. SE&I activities will provide retrofits, Block Cycle Upgrades and Engineering Releases for the MIDS JTRS terminal. These efforts may include Service/platform capabilities such as Link 16 Waveform sustainment, Enhanced Throughput, Frequency Remapping, Crypto Modernization, CMN-4, LEEP and TTNT. Additional upgrades may include requirements by external stakeholder for Intra-Flight Data Links (IFDL), Multifunctional Advanced Data Link (MADL), Common Data Link (CDL), Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) and High-bandwidth Networking Waveform (HNW) and other data links. Sustainment activities will include on-site field service engineering to assist in the resolution of host/terminal interface issues as part of platform integration support and specific engineering technical investigations, Tiger Teams to conduct investigations, data analysis and interpretation, Problem Report (PR) investigation and advanced waveform studies. At this point a J&A is planned to address the unique capabilities of the incumbents, Data Link Solutions, L.L.C. and ViaSat Incorporated, to justify a sole source award to each of the limited source incumbents to continue production, SE&I and sustainment activities provided for the MIDS JTRS variant terminals, to include Concurrent Multi-Netting-4 (CMN-4) and Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT). Questions or comments concerning this solicitation shall be submitted by e- mail to Bryan Glover (Bryan.Glover@navy.mil). Any response to this sources sought should be submitted no later than 9 December 2013, will become the property of the Government, and will not be returned or payed for. Requiring Activity: JPEO JTRS10. Technical POC: Brianne Justiniani. FS Code: 5821. NAICS Code: 334290. Type of Action: Sole Source. Contracting Officer Name: John Sullivan. Contract Specialist Name: Bryan Glover. Contract Specialist Phone Number: (619) 524 - 5602. Contract Specialist E-mail: Bryan.Glover@navy.mil.
