Up to 18 LSAS systems will be procured. Two systems will be initially procured for testing and establishing system standards. The remaining systems will be procured and maintained on a brand name basis until such time that the government deems any particular brand name item no longer provides best-value service. If you are interested in participating in this acquisition, you must submit product information, including technical specs, warranty and pricing to BRTRC, 8260 Willow Oaks Corporate Drive, Suite 800, Fairfax, Virginia 22031 within 15 days of this announcement. This system shall be composed of two items as follows: (Item 1) Commercially available (over 10,000 units shipped) Intel Pentium based microcomputer (100 Mhz or faster) with 16MB RAM, PCI bus, IGB fixed hard drive, 3 1/2'' floppy drive, multimedia package with 4x speed CD-ROM drive, 16 bit wavetable sound card and speakers, 28.8mbs internal modem, SCSI type III port, 17'' multi- sync color monitor (.28 pitch) and display adapter with 2 MB RAM and 1280x1024 resolution, keyboard, and mouse. System software to be provided includes Windows 95 and Microsoft Office Professional for Windows 95. Microcomputer System provided with manufacturer's on-site or pre-paid overnight mail warranty service anywhere in the continental U.S. for a period of 24 months, and free telephone technical support. (Item 2) Commercially available (over 2,000 units shipped) desktop live videoconferencing and interactive document conferencing hardware kit, including camera, microphone, speaker, display adapters and software compatible with Windows 95, providing image sizes of 352 x 240 pixels and refresh rate of 15 frames per second over ISDN telephone lines.

Offerers can propose to provide either or both of the two items. Where offerers propose to provide both items, they should also propose the installation and testing of the videoconferencing kit (item 2) in the microcomputer (item 1) as an alternative to the government performing that installation. BRTRC will perform a best value selection of the offerer(s) who satisfy the technical specifications, demonstrate that their proposed system(s) are commercially available, ability to distribute product to one or more sites in the continental United States and provide the requisite warranty and technical support. Those who proposed integrated products will be given consideration for the time and expense saved by the Government in integration and shipping. (0205)
