D -- SEEKING SOURCES FOR VIDEO TELECONFERENCING AND TELETRAINING CAPABILITY SOL N00178-98-Q-2014 POC Mary Beth Carter, Code SD126, (540) 653-7942 WEB: NSWCDD Procurement Homepage, http://proc_div.navy.mil/supply. E-MAIL: questions concerning synopsis, sd12@nswc.navy.mil. The AEGIS Training & Readiness Center (ATRC), a tenant facility, at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD), Dahlgren, VA is a worldwide training and readiness command for the Navy. The ATRC is seeking sources to provide a Video Teletraining (VTT) and Teleconferencing (VTC) capability. VTT-VTC may involve the development, configuration, integration, and installation of VTT-VTC equipment worldwide. This VTT-VTC capability must provide secure, stable, and reliable connectivity and interoperability to/from the ATRC (Dahlgren, VA), to/from the seven ATRC Detachments, including i.e., Wallops Island VA, Mayport FL, Norfolk VA, Philadelphia PA, San Diego CA, Pearl Harbor HI, and Yokosuka JA, and to/from other military and commercial sites that can provide training, readiness, education, and quality of life. VTT-VTC signal transmissions must be able to originate from and/or to be received by any of these sites broadcasting to other sites. This VTT-VTC capability must also support distance-training applications to and from the detachments as listed above and interface with current electronic classroom resources. Anticipated VTT-VTC configurations are envisioned as the transmission of audio-video-data: -- ATRC to a single remote site and reverse -- ATRC to multiple remote sites -- Remote site to ATRC and/or other remote site/s -- ATRC to remote site with multiplexing to classroom/s and student stations and reverse -- ATRC to multiple remote sites with multiplexing to classroom/s and student stations. Interface and compatibility with current Electronic Classrooms and resources is required. Currently, information is distributed from the server/s to the instructor station. When desired, information is further broadcast, at the instructor's discretion to student stations. Other key discriminators are: cost, reliability, security, availability across countries, interoperability and connectivity across countries, and ease of use. It is requested that interested sources provide the ATRC with a ROM cost and LOE for the above described capability; to include unit and total prices, engineering services, connectivity services, technical support, instructor-staff training, and any other pertinent costs. Interested sources are encouraged to submit the following information to the Government NLT 30 days from the date this notice is published in the CBD: Company Name, Address, Point of Contact, Telephone Number, Email address, and URL (if applicable).
