58 -- COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT SOL 6769 POC Charles P. Taylor, Contracting Officer, 703-630-6703. Communication Equipment-RFP-6769- The FBI is negotiating with Motorola a one-year Indefinite Quantity Contract, with four option years, for the acquisition of radio equipment. The FBI has requirements in all field offices for non-coded (clear), coded (DVP), and secure (Type I classified and unclassified) transmit and receive modes of radio and data communications through tone-controlled transparent radio system infrastructures. Transparency describes a radio system that allows radio users to select and communicate in any available user-selectable mode of operation through the same radio system. Radio system must be transparent to any signal or synchronization method. All units must provide Type I Indictor encryption capability approved by the National Security Agency. The FBI is in the process of embedding the Indictor encryption module into its current radio equipment. Operational compatibility of equipment is a mandatory requirement for all additions or modifications to FBI radio systems. Compatibility means that any proposed equipment must be interchangeable with any existing equipment currently installed in any FBI field office radio system and operate without either internal or external modification. All equipment must be in full compliance with the existing functional requirements and technical specifications in non-coded, coded, and secure modes of operation whether in the simplex or repeater mode of operation. The FBI's minimum requirement is that all newly- acquired equipment be compatible and be able to operate with existing Motorola equipment. Existing equipment includes mobile radios, portable radios, base and repeater stations, wireline modems, voting comparators, console control equipment, and keyfill devices. All equipment must be transparent to any 12 kilobit/second radio data. The following is a list of items and/or equipment that the FBI will be purchasing: Motorola Saber portable radio, Motorola Spectra mobile radio. Motorola Console Interface Unit, MSF 5000 SECURENET digital base station/repeater, Motorola MICOR SECURENET S-TAC transparent VHF/UHF receiver, DIGITAC comparator, CENTRACOM Series II+dispatch console, CENTRACOM SERIES II+ CONSOLE, CENTRACOM SERIES II+ central electronics bank, CENTRACOM Series II+ COMPACT dispatch console, Motorola 12 kilobit/second options/equipments, Keyfill devices, and supporting ancillary devices and options which support the above equipment. The aforementioned items are incremental components for the FBI tone radio system. For the FBI radio systems to be transparent it is imperative that any interested vendor shall demonstrate to the FBI that they are capable of meeting the specifications of the above equipment.
