R -- ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL SERVICES AND SUPPLIES FOR WIRELESS TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS SOL N00421-99-R-1320 DUE 072399 POC Roddrick J. Dunlap (301) 862-8672 WEB: Synopsis is available on the NAVAIR hompage. Click, http//:www.navair.navy.mil. E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Contract Specialist via, dunlaprj@navair.navy.mil. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division is seeking sources for engineering and technical services and supplies for wireless transmission systems. The Special Communications Requirements Branch (SCRB) at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Patuxent River, St. Inigoes, Maryland is engaged in the design, development, integration, test and evaluation, and fielding of wireless, communication-electronic (C-E) systems, subsystems, and components. These systems are provided to users within the Navy, Army, Air Force, Joint Special Operations Forces (SOF), and other DoD or Governmental Agencies in order to fulfill urgent or emerging mission requirements. An integral part of SCRB's tasking relates to the implementation (from concept through deployment) of wireless components and systems to enable efficient broadband communications of voice/video/data for the desired user. The purpose of the proposed acquisition is to provide technical and engineering services and supplies to the SCRB tosupport legacy, current and next generation wireless C-E system requirements and the design, development, integration, test and evaluation, and fielding of those systems, subsystems and components. The contractor shall provide a full range of engineering and technical services for wireless systems. This shall include research, design, development, analysis, procurement, fabrication, integration, installation, test and evaluation, training, and logistic support of wireless C-E systems, subsystems, and components. The wireless systems have communication connection requirements varying from line-of-sight to global and from point-to-point to networked. The technologies applied to the wireless transmission systems designed, developed, and implemented must meet or enhance performance requirements, with cost effectiveness and maintainability. Although not all inclusive, communication areas of specialty which are of particular interest to SCRB and their sponsors include the following: Military Satellite Communications (to include UHF, SHF, EHF, GPS, GBS and Tri-Band Systems), Commercial Satellite Communications (to include INMARSAT, Ku, C, Ka, LEO, and VSAT Systems), HF Radio Communications/Technologies (to include ALE, NVIS and TCP/IP) and Short Haul Tactical Communications (to include UHF/VHF LOS, HAVEQUICK, SINCGARS, and Microwave), Commercial Wireless Communications (to include cellular, LMR, pagers, PCS and wireless LAN), and Leading Edge Wireless Technologies (to include S/W defined radios, 3rd Generation system, AJ/LPI/LPD mechanisms, broadband enabling techniques (compression, TDMA, CDMA, etc.), JTRS, DMR, Slice Radios, or Ultra Wide Band Pulse Technologies. The services and supplies required are in support of the above efforts. Solicitation N00421-99-R-1320 will reflect a cost plus fixed fee level-of-effort type contract with a base year plus four option years estimated at 214,000 hours for the entire contract. Interested parties are requested to submit a brief one page statement demonstrating their capability to perform the services listed above and their representation as a small or large business under Standard Industry Code (SIC) 8711.
