59 -- ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT COMPONENTS SOL N00024-97-R-5202 POC Kendra K. Sullivan, Contract Specialist, Code 02521W, (703) 602-7905 x525; E-mail: Sullivan_Kendra@hq.navsea.navy.mil. The Naval Sea Systems Command is seeking qualified parties to participate in a follow-on procurement to the AN/UYQ-70 Advanced Display System program. This will allow for the continued production and evolution of the AN/UYQ-70 to meet a wide spectrum of Navy, DoD, and non-DoD display processor applications, including but not limited to surface, sub-surface and air applications. The AN/UYQ-70 Advanced Display System is the Navy's family of evolving display and processor systems and equipment, including software. These display and processor systems and equipments are multi-configurable at the component/module and the enclosure level to provide solutions to system and multi-system level requirement. The AN/UYQ-70 shall continue to be built upon Open System Architecture (OSA) standards, incorporating a functionally modular design using COTS/NDI products and industry-defined software and communication interface standards. This OSA approach allows for reduced recurring costs and procurement schedules; reduced development time and non-recurring costs; and technology upgrades at the component, module, and system levels. The scope of this effort will include production and continued evolution of the AN/UYQ-70 and engineering development required to adapt the AN/UYQ-70 to new applications. The Government intends to solicit plans to further enhance the AN/UYQ-70 via the use of products, services, and information available on the TAC-4 and its successor contract(s). The follow-on procurement will consist of a one-year period for integration, test and acceptance of First Article Units with an option for a two-year ordering period for production equipment, spares, training and other items and additional options for two successive one-year ordering periods for production equipment, spares, training and other items. In addition, a one-year ordering period commencing upon contract award and options for four successive one-year ordering periods will be included for product improvement engineering and support engineering. Integration, test and acceptance of the First Article Units will be performed under Cost-Plus-Award-Fee line item(s). The hardware to be delivered under the contract will be provided via delivery orders under a fixed price Indefinite-Delivery type structure. Product improvement and engineering support will be procured on a time and material basis. The Navy plans to post a Program Plan and a procurement schedule on the NAVSEA 02 Internet Wed Site (http://sea02www.navsea.navy.mil) on Wednesday, 24 July 1996. It is anticipated that an information package consisting of portions of a draft RFP, draft SOW, draft PIDS, and any available drawings will be posted within ten (10) days of issuance of this synopsis. Industry comments on the information package are desired within thirty (30) days of posting of the information package. Comments shall be forwarded to Ms. Kendra Sullivan preferably via e-mail but written comments will be accepted. Interested parties are asked to send an e-mail to Ms. Sullivan containing company name, e-mail address, mailing address, point of contact and phone numbers. It is anticipated that a final RFP will be issued via the Internet in October 1996, with a contract awarded in January 1997. (0201)
