AMENDMENT 0001 -- SEEKING SOURCES FOR VIDEO TELECONFERENCING & TELETRAINING CAPABILITY The previously published synopsis is hereby amended as follows: to offer interested parties the opportunity to participate in a roundtable question and answer session on 16 October 1998, to extend the final date for written submissions to 16 November 1998, and to change the Government Point Of Contact (POC) referenced in the previous announcement. Please review the following announcement, which is re-published in its entirety, with changes incorporated therein. This is a sources sought announcement only, and not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an announcement of a solicitation. A written response is required from interested parties, as detailed below. 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. Interested sources are invited to participate in a roundtable question and answer session on 16 October 1998, 0900 a.m., at the ATRC, 5395 1st Street, Dahlgren, VA 22448-5000, Conference Room A/B.
