70 -- MODIOS/VOICE SOFTWARE LICENCES FOR WINDOWS NT 4.0 SOL N61339-99-Q-0063 DUE 041999 POC Michelle Lewis, Contracting Officer (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.
