58 -- MILSTAR TSM MICRO-LOADER/CHARGER (TMLC) RAPID PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT POC Claire R. Litalien, Contracting Officer, 617-271-6285f. Electronic Systems Center (ESC) hereby submits this Market Survey for a rapid prototype development effort of a Milstar hand portable Force Element (FE) Time Standard Module (TSM) Micro-Loader/Charger (TMLC). The function of the TMLC is to insert time into a single TSM from GPS and properly offset it with Milstar leap seconds, maintain TSM battery charge, and manage, integrate, format, and download all FE related data elements. The TMLC must be able to read data in TSM format and load that information into a TSM. The TMLC should operate from a 50/60 Hz 110/220 power supply, have an electrical interface compatible with a 486 laptop/windows PC and a TSM, and maximize the use of Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment. The TMLC will be built to commercial specifications and is required to be delivered not later than 90 days after contract award. The Government intends to conduct a limited competition for this effort between Raytheon Company and Rockwell International. The basis for this limited competition is that both Raytheon and Rockwell possess current extensive knowledge and design experience of Milstar timing and data flow processes and TSM electrical interfaces. Upon completion of the prototype development effort, the Government may compete a contract for the follow-on production of approximately 200 TMLCs. Other interested firms who possess a SECRET security clearance and detailed knowledge and design experience of Milstar timing and data flow processes and TSM electrical interfaces may respond with a detailed qualification package not later than 15 calendar days from the publication of this notice. This synopsis does not constitute a request for proposal and is not intended to be construed as a commitment by ESC. Responses to this synopsis should be addressed to: ESC/MCK, 50 Griffiss Street, Hanscom AFB, MA 01730-1620, ATTN: Ms. Claire Litalien, (617)-271-6285. See Numbered Note(s): 25. (0068)
