58 -- SOUTHCOM COUNTER-DRUG SUPPORT POC Themoula T. Poirier, Contracting Officer, 617-377-9457. The SOUTHCOM Counter-Drug Support (SCDS) Program Office is seeking qualified contractors to provide radar engineering, communications engineering, operations center engineering and integration, site installation, and interim contractor support for SOUTHCOM counterdrug projects. The effort will commence with the refurbishment of up to five (5) Government-owned AN/TPS-70 radars which will be installed at new radar sites. The radar refurbishment will include repair and/or replacement of all equipment necessary to make the radar fully operational within specification guidelines. As a minimum, the following services will be provided: mechanical/electrical inspection, major overhaul of electro-mechanical components, replacement of ''fixed'' support equipment with mobile equipment, to include: pallet, air conditioners, heat exchanger, air compressor, radios, legs, and modems, test, and paint/repack. The Government does not own reprocurement data for this radar, as the radar is a Northrop Grumman Corporation proprietary product. The communications engineering will be comprised of installing voice communications and Satcom at the sites and providing voice and data connectivity to Howard AFB. Operations center engineering and integration will consist of integrating voice and data into the automated display (AUTOTELL) and communications (Voice and Radio Control System) systems at the Joint Air Operations Center (JAOC) at Howard AFB, Panama. The Government does not own reprocurement data for these JAOC systems which are Northrop Grumman proprietary products. Site installations will be comprised of constructing a new site and installing/integrating the required radar, communications, and real property equipment to accomplish the mission. The projected sites will be at various locations throughout Latin America, with the first site being in Peru. The interim contractor support requirement is to maintain the site, all site equipment and associated communications leases at the designated operational availability level. Interested firms must submit a qualification package not to exceed 10 pages explaining your capabilities. Qualification packages shall include: 1) experience refurbishing radars, 2) experience installing radar/communications sites, 3) experience with operations center integration, and 4) a rough order of magnitude of radar refurbishment, site installation, communications engineering, operations center integration and interim contractor support costs. Submit the package to the above address not later than 15 days after publication of this notice. The Government anticipates award of the contract on or about 1 August 1996. This synopsis does not constitute a Request for Proposal, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. (0155)
