E-MAIL: Click here to contact the Contract Specialist via, fischera@monmouth.army.mil. The U.S. Army CECOM proposes to acquire on a sole source basis with Bolt,Beranek and Newman, Inc. additional work under Contract No. DAAB07-97-C-D606. This ten month effort will include the delivery of a tested Multimedia Support for Mobile Wireless Networks/Density- and Asymmetry-Adaptive Wireless Networking(MMWN/DAWN) testbed to CECOM and on-site support. The contractor will provide cross validation of mobile experiments at Ft. Benning, Ga., implement enhanced support for QoS sessions on the testbed, develop and implement a clustering mechanism in CPT in the MMWN/DAWN testbed and participate in the GloMo integrated experiments and demonstrations. This acquisition is being conducted without full and open competition since BBN is uniquely qualified to perform the required task to address the MMWN/DAWN integrated experiments and enhanced functionality in support of the GloMo integrated mobile field experiments. BBN is the developer of the MMWN/DAWN algorithms and protocols, which are to be modeled, validated, fine tuned, integrated and demonstrated with other GloMo capabilities. BBN has the existing expertise and experience to perform this parallel task under the existing contract. This task will ensure the interoperability of BBN MMWN/DAWN algorithms and protocols with other GloMo systems. This acquisition will be solicited by a letter RFP to BBN and the anticipated award date is in the second quarter of FY00. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. This letter RFP will be available on the Interagency Interactive Business Opportunities Page.
