STRAP is an integrated Primary Surveillance and Secondary Surveillance Radar Target Extractor and Tracker used by ACC to rapidly integrate different radar systems into selected command and control facilities. It is a commercial off-shelf Non-Developmental Item (NDI) consisting of a 20-slot 6U/VME monolithic backplane system and Sun SPARC 5 workstation. It emphasizes open architecture technologies -- VME bus, "C" software language, VRTX and UNIX operating systems and Motorola 68040 based single-board computers. The current source of these items is Sensis Corporation. Detailed hardware and software technical data is not available for these items. Test equipment is commercially available to support STRAP. The Government seeks potential sources for anticipated acquisition of maintenance and repair services for the STRAP in support of ACC Combat Operations.

Maintenance support may be required in high threat environments. Responses from potential sources must include documentation such as equipment test results, copies of purchase orders if the source was a vendor to the current source, or a statement from the current source demonstrating spares compatibility. Any commercially available pricing information is also requested.
