A -- ENGINEERING DESIGN AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES SOL N61331-00-Q-JM01 DUE 010700 POC Contract Specialist, John Miller, (850) 235-5399; Contracting Officer, Carol Dreger, (850) 234-4863 WEB: www.ncsc.navy.mil/contracts/synopsis/syntable.htm, www.ncsc.navy.mil. E-MAIL: Miller_John@ncsc.navy.mil, Miller_John@ncsc.navy.mil. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Coastal Systems Station, Panama City, Florida, is seeking potential sources of expertise to perform and provide Engineering Design, technical support services and materials for the development of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance, (C4ISR), Systems. The C4ISR Systems shall support Expeditionary Warfare Applications in support of Operational Maneuver from the Sea (OMFTS). All C4ISR radio frequency technologies must currently or plan to use NSA approved cryptographic technologies for all voice, data and video transmissions. These technologies shall support Confidential to SCI security levels of information transfer. The C4ISR technologies should be able to support all of the Armed Services, the Joint Services Coalition and Joint Coalition requirements. All joint systems should be interoperable. C4ISR Systems supporting any combination of platforms afloat, sub-suface platforms, ground elements, airborne systems and National/Common Data Link assets for OMFTS can be proposed under this announcement. Some examples of C4ISR technologies of interest include the following areas:  Secure Line of Sight (LOS) and Over-The-Horizon (OTH) full duplex analog and digital voice, data and video communications. The system can support one, a combination or all these technologies.  Secure LOS and OTH full duplex teleconferencing and collaboration.  Mobile communications capabilities.  Fusion of C4ISR system data into real/near real-time tactical, decision support and information systems.  Fusion of C4ISR system data into a common tactical/coherent picture for real/near real-time and non real-time applications.  Real-time common/coherent tactical display of friendly and enemy forces.  Applications of Common Data Link (CDL) technology.  Applications of single band and multi-band phased array and flat panel antenna technologies.  Secure wireless/laser network technology applications.  Integration of Commercial and Military systems for OMFTS.  Multi-purpose, multi-band radio systems.  Infrared imagery systems.  Laser based tactical systems.  Electro-Optical imagery systems.  Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle (UAV) systems w/multiple C4ISR system payloads.  Lightweight tactical communications systems for small tactical, reconnaissance and special warfare singular and joint operations. Source/Contractor Guidance: Sources replying to this announcement should provide no more than two examples of technical literature or brochures on the proposed systems for each C4ISR area of interest above. In addition, Sources can also recommend and provide two examples of Systems supporting any other C4ISR area not mentioned above. Systems under development can be submitted but must include estimated production availability dates. Any response not pertaining to Expeditionary Warfare Applications in support of OMFTS or an obsolete technology shall be discarded. Note: Please keep your responses brief and no more than 7 written pages. Numerous brochures can be provided for different C4ISR topics applicable to this announcement however. Other guidelines to the Sources/Contractor Sought Include: (1) The Sources/Contractors shall provide a brief synopsis of its involvement in the design, development and technical support for C4ISR systems with the submitted information package. (2) Sources/Contractors shall identify any current GSA or other Government Agency Contract in which they are currently supporting tasks within the scope of this C4ISR announcement. The company name, contract number, scope of contract, point of contact and phone number shall be provided with your information package for each contract identified. (3) All Source/Contractor information packages submitted shall be unclassified. If further information is needed, the Government will contact the Source/Contractor accordingly through the proper channels. (4) It is recommended that all Sources/Contractors submit the most current and future C4ISR technologies known to them that will support the scope of this announcement. (5) All of the Source's technologies and services for the C4ISR areas listed shall support OMFTS for the Armed Services. Proposals of technologies that do not support OMFTS and any technology submitted that is obsolete will be discarded. Interested firms shall respond within 30 days of this Announcement complying with the guidance above. The Source shall supply complete and detailed documentation showing the Company's ability to design, produce, manufacture and provide technical support services and materials for C4ISR Systems in support of Expeditionary Warfare applications.
