- Description
- The purpose�of this RFI is to identify industry partners who can offer IP- enabled, VULOS, software defined radios (SDR) dual-band communication capabilities that can meet the functional requirements supporting a modern National Security Agency (NSA) Type 1 COMSEC that is compliant with the VACM (VINSON (VHF [Very High Frequency] / UHF [Ultra High Frequency] Wideband Tactical Secure Voice System Cryptographic Equipment) - ANDVT (Advanced Narrowband Digital Voice Terminal) Cryptographic Modernization architecture (e.g., KY-100M, KY-58M).� The VULOS transceivers must be compatible with HAVEQUICK I/II and SATURN 3 waveforms. The delivery threshold (T) goal is to field IP-enabled VULOS transceivers capabilities within a 12 month period after receipt of order (ARO) with an objective (O) delivery goal of six (6) months or less from contract award.� Transceiver candidates are required to meet the U.S. and NATO modernization mandates for Foreign Partners by January 2024. RFI Submission: VULOS Communications Product Capabilities and Maturity 1.1 Provide nominated IP-enabled VULOS transceiver description and capabilities. 1.2 Provide examples of where and how long the nominated IP-enabled VULOS transceivers are currently being used in an operational environment. 1.3 Provide experiences and examples of implementing/fielding and supporting the nominated IP-enabled VULOS transceiver capabilities. 1.4 Provide risks and issues with implementing the nominated IP-enabled VULOS transceiver capabilities in a Voice Communications System (VCS) and network-enabled infrastructures. 1.5 Provide experiences and risks with implementing the nominated IP-enabled VULOS transceiver capabilities to satisfy National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Risk Management Framework (RMF) requirements. 1.6 Describe any specific dependencies associated with the nominated IP-enabled VULOS transceivers capabilities. 1.7 Complete Attachment 1 � IP-enabled VULOS LOS Transceiver General Information and Queries Feedback Form 1.8 Provide rough order of magnitude and/or estimated cost for delivering discrete voice and data communications systems in expedited timelines. 2. RFI Submission Instructions Interested parties are requested to respond to this RFI by providing requisite information/documentation regarding the nominated IP-enabled VULOS transceiver communications system utilizing the construct as presented in Table 1 (located in RFI document).�
