This is a correction to the synopsis that appeared in Issue Number PSA 1338 on Wednesday, 3 May 1995 of the Commerce Business Daily for solicitation number F08651-95-R-0252. Upgrade of the Litton Amecom ICSS 3080 system at Eglin AFB Control tower to match the Litton Amecom 3080 ICSS system currently fielded at seven FAA sites. The primary change in this upgrade is the use of a Multiplexer Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) versus the Multiplexer box currently in use. The contractor shall upgrade backplane connectors to provide the use of three-level Input/Output pins to provide additional safety measures in order to be able to hot plug circuit cards. The contractor shall perform necessary changes to the backplanes and cabling of the Trunk Control and the Position Control Units so they will interface and work with the new Multiplexer CCA and multilevel Input/Output pins. The new Multiplexer shall be physically located in the Trunk Control Unit and shall supply output to the Trunk and Position Control Units for reconfiguration purposes. All current circuit cards used at Eglin shall be totally compatible with any changes, upgrades, modifications, or rewiring. The contractor shall provide Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROMs) and spare EPROMs programmed to work with modified configuration. To insure minimum downtime, work shall be accomplished around normal flying hours, and the system shall be operational for each flying day. All work shall be accomplished in accordance with all Air Force, AFOSH, FAA, and FCC standards. The contractor shall provide in-depth training and wiring diagrams to Air Force personnel concerning modification. All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered by the agency.
