- Description
- This is a Notice of Proposed Contract Action under FAR Part 15 Contracting by Negotiation and Other Than Full and Open Competition (FAR 6.302-1). This notice is for information only; a solicitation will not be issued. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 511210 with a size standard of $35.5 million average annual receipts. AFRL requires the purchase of a software toolset to bridge their communications with current data-link software technology. The proposed contract type is Firm Fixed Price for a perpetual enterprise software license agreement allowing an unlimited number of copies/installations to AFRL. The software package needs to bridge incompatible operational waveforms LINK-16 and Situational Awareness Data Link [SADL] and provide interoperability between different data formats to include LINK-16 J-Messages, Cursor on Target [COT], Keyhole Markup Language [KML], Key Length Value [KLV] while providing user friendly operation to tactical users. Required Capabilities: • Host Platform J Link-16 radios • Host SADL radios • Enable J-Message text chat • Provide interoperability and forwarding between datalinks • Contain an easily transferrable SA Mode database • Utilize an intuitive user interface • Perform JREAPC client functions • Provide the ability to connect directly to SA Mode radios • Provide the ability to organize received data The Government intends to negotiate a sole source contract to for a perpetual enterprise license agreement for TRAX 1.0 software. The software producer is: Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) 18635 Jarkey Drive Hagerstown, ND 21742 The government has determined no other company's software offers an all-in-one communications bridging solution, operable by the tactical user. Alternatives do not offer the intuitiveness of TRAX, and are not easily configured in the field; alternatives require in-depth knowledge of actual waveforms for configuration, which may be beyond the training of the end user, who simply requires communications interoperability. This is a notice of proposed contract action and not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. All inquiries should be sent by email to Bryant.Soule@us.af.mil Responses to this notice must be submitted by the date/time listed on the notice. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government in future procurements. Responses received will be evaluated; however a determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government anticipates an award date on or before 1 April 2014. A Sole Source Justification will be attached to the subsequent Notice of Award.
