The solicitation number is HHS-NIH-NIDA-(SSSA)-15-178 and the solicitation is issued as a request for quote (RFQ). This acquisition is for a commercial item or service and is conducted under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13-Simplified Acquisition Procedures; FAR Subpart 13.5-Test Program for Certain Commercial Items; and FAR Part 12-Acquisition of Commercial Items, and is not expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. The solicitation documents and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-80 effective March 2, 2015.

STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES The purpose of this upgrade is to modify the current conference room equipment from an outdated analog A/V system to an up-to-date digital A/V system. Title: NSC/2172 Conference Room A/V System Upgrade The NSC/2172 conference room was last modified in January of 2011. The current state of the conference room uses analog audio and standard definition video technology. The current A/V system consists of an equipment control system (AMX ), room speakers, room microphones (wired: Revolabs, wireless: Revolabs ), room computer, projector (NEC MT1065), video conferencing codec (Tandberg 3000MXP), room cameras (Sony PSC-C300), room audio conferencing system (Polycom Vortex) and conference table cable cubbies (Extron Cable Cubby 600). With this digital upgrade, we will be upgrading video from standard definition (SD) to high definition (HD). The upgrade will also introduce new microphones to address audio reinforcement issues. A new DSP will be introduced to address audio reinforcement support as well as provide the correct parameters for the microphone and speaker audio levels. This upgrade will also introduce a new control system, a new video conferencing codec and other equipment to bring the system up to date. Scope of Work The proposed upgraded A/V system should be designed and installed to meet the below requirements.
