(407)381-8781 WEB: NAWCTSD Home Page, Request For Quotes,
http://www.nstc.navy.mil/contract/procure.htm. E-MAIL: Michelle Lewis,
NAWCTSD, Code 25724, LewisMY@navair.navy.mil. This is a combined
synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with
the format in Subpart 12.6, supplemented with additional information
included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only
solicitation. A quote is being requested and a written solicitation
will not be issued. Solicitation N61339-99-Q-0063 is hereby issued as
a request for quotation and incorporates the provisions and clauses in
effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-07. This solicitation
shall be awarded on a sole source basis to Motorola, 12324 Research
Parkway, STE. 217, Orlando, FL 32826. The SIC Code is 7372 with annual
receipts of $18M. The following item is required: CLIN 0001, MODIOS
/Voice software licenses for Windows NT 4.0 pre-production prototype
system as part of the COSTD. See attached Statement of Work.
REQUIREMENTS FOR COSTD VOICE COMMUNICATOR SYSTEM. Motorola shall
deliver a voice communicator software Package specifically adapted to
meet the needs of the Commanding Officer's/OOD Simulated Tactical
Display (COSTD) training system application. The requirements include
the following: The Motorola voice communicator software shall reside
and function minimally on a Windows NT 4.0,Pentium II (450 MHZ) system.
The Motorola developed software application shall be Sound Blaster
sound card(16 bit minimum) compatible as well as co-exist with and not
impact other application processes running concurrently on the same
processor. The application software includes a NAWCTSD developed
periscope display, a NAWCTSD developed Tactical Communications
interface, a speaker independent command voice control for COSTD
simulated submarine maneuvers as well as the Motorola developed post
exercise After Action Review application package. The voice
communicator software shall be compatible for use with the IEEE
1278.1-1995 Distributed Interactive Simulation Protocols (DIS Version
5.0). It must show compatibility with the current Battle Force Tactical
Training (BFTT) Digital Voice (BDV) system by being able to receive
(BDV)communications clearly, without audible discrepancies, over a
10BaseT ethernet network interface between the Windows NT system and a
BDV system. Also, the voice communicator software must demonstrate the
ability to send voice data over the same network to the BDV such that
the BDV is able to reproduce the data clearly without any audible
discrepancies. Voice data communications shall also be demonstrated
between voice communicator software resident on the COSTD processor and
the same voice communicator software resident on an Intel, PC-based
system of Motorola's choosing running the same voice communicator
software. The voice communicator application for COSTD shall add the
Vector Quantization (VQ) encoding method to its current capabilities
and default to this voice data encoding technique to both send and
receive voice data over the network interface. The COSTD voice
communicator software shall also be able to interactively utilize the
correct incoming voice data encoding type coming in overthe network
should it differ from the VQ encoding method. The voice communicator
software shall function with a user selectable menu of sample rate
(typically 8000 HZ for VQ encoding) and sample size (typically 2
bits/sample for VQ) for the voice data being sent/received over the
BFTT network. Also, the voice communicator software shall function
properly with a total latency not to exceed 250 ms (press-to-talk to
transmit) on the BFTT network. The voice communicator software
developed for COSTD shall have the ability to handle time stamps
information on voice data packets being sent out or received by COSTD
over the BFTT network. NAWCTSD shall have the ability to obtain from
Motorola and modify the VQ algorithm related source code from Floreat
Inc. that will be used in the COSTD application portion of the Motorola
voice communicator software for unlimited government distribution. The
government shall also have the rights to use any Motorola voice
communicator software developed by Motorola that is unique to the COSTD
application. The voice communicator software shall provide COSTD with
30 voice channels configurable in frequency (HZ) via a default
configuration file resident on the COSTD system. From the 30 channels,
the user shall be allowed to specify up to a maximum of 5 active
channels from the 30 available in the configuration file for
transmission and/or reception at any given time. The user shall have
the ability to turn a channel on/off during runtime. The active
channels shall have the ability to be given user specified labels with
up to 6 alpha/numeric characters in length and clearly show the
channel label and frequency selected. The user shall have the ability
to define/re-define the frequency of an active channel at runtime via
a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the Windows NT system. The voice
communicator GUI shall occupy only a portion of the display screen when
called for viewing. Also, the voice data shall only be transmitted when
a press-to-talk condition is initiated by the user of the COSTDvoice
communicator software. During the handling of DIS voice related PDUs
(signal, transmitter and receiver) the voice communicator software
shall provide COSTD with a table driven interface to retrieve and/or
configure sub elements of the voice related PDUs that may affect the
performance of the radio (e.g. antenna height) as well as the radio's
unique identifier (site, host, entity). Typical frequencies of interest
include: Channel label A, Freq (Hz) 238037120. Channel label B,
Freq(Hz) 238137120. Channel label C, Freq (Hz) 238137120. Channel label
D, Freq (Hz) 238137120. Channel label C-SUB, Freq (Hz) 238137120. The
COSTD voice communicator software shall be tested using all of the
frequencies noted above. Delivery shall be made within 60 days of award
to Naval air Warfare Center, Training Systems Division, 12350 Research
Parkway, Orlando, FL 32826. The following FAR provisions and clauses
apply to this acquisition: 52.212-1, 52.212-4 and 52.212-5. The
following subparagraphs of FAR 52.212-5(b), and DFARS addenda thereto,
apply: (6), (7), (8), (9) and (16); 252.225-7001 and 252.225-7036. A
completed copy of FAR addenda must be included with quote :252.225-7000
and 252.225-7035. See note 22(forty-five days is changed to read 15
days). Quote is due at 4:00 p.m. EST on April 19, 1999 and may be by
FAX to (407)380-4069 Attn: Michelle Lewis. For information regarding
this solicitation, contact Michelle Lewis at (407) 381-8781. Posted
