Based upon these requirements it is interested in available products: (a) At the system or component level which satisfy them; (b) At the system or component level which could contribute to satisfying them; (c) At the system or component level which could be readily modified to satisfy or contribute to satisfying them; (d) Performance specifications, costs, and lead times; Maintenance and other required support; Safety and health concerns, if any; and (e) Extent of competition in the market place. PSEMO requests that interested parties respond to this market survey by 15 September 1997 by transmitting hard copy information on their relevant and specific products, capabilities and qualifications to: Commander, Aviation Troop Command, Physical Security Equipment Management Office, ATTN: AMSAT-D-WCP (Jerry Edwards), 5900 Putman Road, Suite 1, Ft Belvoir, VA 22060-5420. Additionally, interested parties may transmit electronic version of the requested information to cseaco@hoffman-issaa2.army.mil. This effort is being managed by PSEMO under its mission to perform research, development, and acquisition (RDA), and commercial product evaluation of Physical Security Equipment (PSE) within the purview of the Army pursuant to DoDD 3224.3. Mission Needs. The Department of Defense needs a capability to alert personnel to impending terrorist attack or danger. This is envisioned as a means of immediately alerting personnel of a specific danger (e.g. fire, explosives, chemical/biological other personnel danger threats) and providing intelligible communications on essential actions to take. Although centrally activated and managed the solution should have the capability for remote activation. This personnel alert capability should provide complete coverage to personnel within buildings and the surrounding area(s) where there is a high concentration of personnel (50or more) such as work, living, recreational, shopping, and community areas, and have the capability to overcome normal noise levels associated with such areas. It should be capable of intrinsically safe application to any building or area that personnel occupy in all environmental conditions world-wide. No special tools, structural modifications, or interference with existing wiring or circuitry should be required. Solutions should be easily and quickly installed, uninstalled and relocated. A self-test or built-in test capability indicating faulty components is desired. (0233)
