70 -- ISDSEC INTEGRATED INTERIOR COMMUNICATIONS (ICOM) SYSTEM SOL N00178-97-Q-2003 POC K. B. Hall, Code SD12, CLARENCE WISDOM, CODE N82, (540) 653-1593 WEB: N/A, http://proc_div.nswc.navy.mil/. E-MAIL: N/A, cwisdom@nswc.navy.mil. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), is seeking sources for design analysis, equipment, and assistance in tailoring and integrating ICOM equipment to support operations at the Integrated Ship Defense System Engineering Center (ISDSEC) at Wallops Island, Virginia. General Requirements: The ISDSEC requires a COTS-based system to augment and/or replace the current system and will support test operations, link to test ontrol, and complement facility communications systems such as public address and telephone. The ICOM elements design shall facilitate re-configuration and unit re-location to replicate evolving CICs to the extent necessary to support ISDSEC operations in the design, integration, test and Lifecycle Support Engineering (LSE) of Ship Self Defense Systems and other Navy programs. The ICOM is required to support two simultaneous operations. The ICOM will consist of both secure and open communication circuits. Where practical, ICOM shall make use of fiber optic cabling.The ICOM system will provide Electronic Voice Circuits and interface with sound-powered phone circuits, and station-to-station circuits. Electronic Voice Circuit (EVC) Subsystem Requirements: EVC circuits are required in all CICs, the TCC, and Project Operations and Administrative areas. EVC shall provide a means to record and time-tag voice data during project operations and test events. The design shall consider beneficial linkage to ISDSEC sound-powered phone, station-to-station, intercom, and public address circuits; such as, 1) the ability to selectively pass intercom and public address information over EVC circuits, 2) the ability to send fire or other alarms over the EVC circuits, and 3) the ability for select EVC stations to access the intercom and public address systems. The EVC subsystem will include equipment, devices, headsets, and circuit cabling. The EVC will consist of two primary sections which are defined as the Tactical and TCC sections. The EVC Tactical section design shall emulatefit, form, and function of typical Navy shipboard combat information/battle communications equipment as practical while meeting the ISDSEC mission. Within practical limitations, the EVC Tactical section equipment should fit within the same space, appear and feel similar to operators, and perform functions parallel to that of shipboard counterparts. The design should be capable of using or providing links with standard Navy communications panels (LS-653, LS-654). The EVC will provide EXCOMM circuit distribution to ISDSEC CICs following typical shipboard capabilities and as necessary for ISDSEC operations and safety. The ISDSEC will support multiple ship class CICs simultaneously. The EVC TCC section design shall meet the communications requirements of ISDSEC operations and test control. The EVC TCC design shall support all necessary communications between TCC, NASA, Project Operations, ISDSEC CICs, and participating air, sea, and shore units for two simultaneous operations. The EVC TCC section shall provide interface with and distribution of HF, VHF, UHF, Marine HF, EVC, SP, TOPS Channels 1 and 2, and the 8705 line. The EVC TCC section will include the ability to configure the entire EVC system to meet operations requirements and to view or modify configurations by graphical or tabular display. The TCC EVC section shall include the capability for TCC operators to temporarily superimpose an emergency announcement configuration that connects all users and restores the previous configuration upon TCC release. The EVC must provide the means to link CIC, EXCOMM, and TCC EVC circuits to accommodate projects requiring emulation of Force or Group operations. The Government will not pay for any information requested, any research onducted, or testing performed in responding to this Sources Sought. Company proprietary information will be respected, as users will be limited to the Department of Defense. This notice constitutes the entire notification and no other documents are available. Interested organizations are invited to demonstrate their capabilities by providing the following information by 28 February 1997: (1) identification of business size, (2) ability to provide the ICOM system, (3) corporate expertise in the above stated area, (4) demonstration of experience by providing the applicable contract numbers, quantity of units, contracting agency with current point of contact and phone number and a brief contract summary. Responses should be limited to no more than 10 pages. Corporate expertise may be demonstrated by Corporate brochures or other publications indicating available or cureently installed systems similar in scope and function. All interested sources are requested to submit information in sufficient detail to permit evaluation of their capabilities, including experience with design, installation, and implementation of similar ICOM systems or similar systems at Naval shore facilities. All interested sources are requested to respond by 28 February 1997 to Commanding Officer, NSWC Dahlgren Division, 17320 Dahlgren Road, Dahlgren, VA 22448-5100 (Attn: Clarence Wisdom, Contracting Specialist, Code N82) with firm name, address, telephone number, telefax number, point of contract, and business size status.
