58 -- MULTIBAND, MULTIMISSION RADIO (MBMMR) DUE 063095 POC DONNA MORAN, Contract Specialist, 813-840-5446, E. J. MORE, Contracting Officer (No telephone calls accepted for copy of package) United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is conducting a Market Investigation (MI) to determine the current state-of-the-art technology for multiband, multimission manpack radio systems as related to a Multiband, Multimission Radio (MBMMR) Operational Requirements Document. This MI does not signify a request for proposal (RFP) or intention to enter into a contract. Industry comments are solicited concerning the feasibility and availability of Non-developmental Items (NDI) to achieve the MBMMR capabilities in the desired time frame (initial deliveries required in 4th Qtr CY96). MBMMR will provide Special Operations Forces (SOF) a state-of-the-art, tactical, multiband and multimission long range manpack radio that will enable SOF teams to communicate on user selected frequencies and waveforms from 30 to 512 megahertz (MHz). The MBMMR will weigh less than 15 pounds, be smaller than 600 cubic inches, include embedded COMSEC (VINSON, KYV-5, KG84-C) and will replace/augment several manpack radios currently used by SOF, such as the AN/PRC-117, AN/PRC-119, AN/PRC-113, AN/PSC-7, AN/PSC-3, HST-4, and the LST-5B/C. The MBMMR will enhance communications interoperability between SOF and conventional units and will reduce the types and quantities of manpack radios currently required to be deployed to support SOF missions. No telephone calls will be accepted. Interested parties must submit written requests to Mr. E.J. More, USSOCOM Contracting Officer, c/o Booz-Allen & Hamilton, 4890 West Kennedy Blvd, Suite 475, Tampa, FL 33609 to obtain a MBMMR information package. The package will include a copy of the MBMMR Operational Requirements Document plus an Industry Survey Questionnaire that must be completed and returned with your response by 30 June 1995. (0143)
