JEANNE MORRISON, Contracting Officer 407/380-4052 This is a combined
synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with
the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional
information included in this notice. This competitive solicitation is
issued as a result of responses received to Synopsis No. 179757 and
constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and
a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number
N61339-98-Q-0397 is re-issued as a competitive request for quotation
(RFQ). All references to "offers" are understood to be "quotations".
The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are
those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-3. The system
requirements of this instructional delivery system are as follows: a..
Response Pad/Keypad Keypad: Receiver unit is dual conversion superset
for sensitivity, stability and selectivity. Transmitter is a single
transistor using FM modulation. Keypad membrane: Flexible faceplate has
twelve keys: a "CLEAR" key, a "user defined" key, and ten functional
keys numbered 1-10. Additional response options, "YES" and "NO," are on
keys 1 and 2, and letters A-E are on keys 1-5. Circuitry: Entirely
solid state using a CMOS micro-controller, silicon transistors, and
FETs. Communication between keypads and interface unit is crystal
referenced. Power Supply: Keypads are powered by a standard 9-volt
alkaline battery. Power supply is internally regulated to ensure
predictable operation. Battery should provide enough power for at least
10,000 questions or two years, whichever comes first. Enclosure:
Keypads are constructed of ABS plastic and measure 1-3/8" high x 3"
wide x 6-11/16" long. b.. Receiver Unit/Integrating the keypads into
the software Capacity: Each receiver supports up to 250 keypads. Eight
channels are available for a combined capacity of 2,000 keypads.
Classrooms on the same channel need to be about 200 feet apart to avoid
interference. Compatibility: Includes a microprocessor-controlled
RS-232C serial interface which makesthe system compatible with all PCs.
Performance: Keypads are interrogated in sequence. Up to 250 keypad
responses can be processed in 3 seconds. Range: System provides
reliable operation in an area large enough to reach an audience of 250.
c.. Software Submitting and receiving input from each participant: The
polling software is required to work under Microsoft operating system
Windows 95 and Windows NT. The software display is required to be able
to switch between from the primary monitor to the secondary monitor at
the instructor server. The software integrates the hardware into the
system and allows the following functions: Question entry into a
database and delivery of those questions to students with immediate
feedback via the student response pads. Also will need to incorporate
tracking of each individual student with a keypad. Question entry into
a Jeopardy-like game and delivery of those questions to students with
immediate feedback via the student response pads. Also will need to
incorporate tracking of each individual student with a keypad. Question
entry into a database where the delivery is integrated into a separate
program (PowerPoint, Word, etc.) and delivery of those questions to
students with immediate feedback via the student response pads. Also
will need to incorporate tracking of each individual student with a
keypad. Any questions in database need to be able to be integrated into
a stand-alone paper test/asynchronous computerized test. These tests
are created dynamically by the instructor using a wizard to select
questions resident in the database. The entire system facilitates
instructors getting immediate feedback from every student using the
software to integrate keypad usage. Delivery is to be made FOB
