contract specialist via, davenpe@spawar.navy.mil. The Space and Naval
Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), Joint Maritime Communications
Strategy (JMCOMS) Program Office, PMW 176, is seeking design concepts
and potential sources to develop and manufacture ship, submarine, and
shore-based Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) inboard satellite
communications terminal equipment. Interested sources are asked to
refer to the SPAWAR Business Opportunities (BOP) web page at
http://e-commerce.spawar.navy.mil for more details. Interested sources
should respond to SPAWAR with their responses to the questions found
at the SPAWAR BOP no later than 7 March 2000. SPAWAR plans to schedule
industry-government one-on-one sessions beginning the week of 20 March
2000. During the industry-government sessions, each firm should be
prepared to discuss its background, related experience, and staffing
abilities. The RFP for this program is expected to be released in the
later part of the first quarter of FY01. Contract award is anticipated
in the later part of the third quarter of FY01 and may consist of a
combined development and production contract. Potential sources will
need a SECRET clearance for pre-award access. Potential sources must
possess a SECRET facility clearance at time of award and must be U.S.
Companies Only (NOFORN). Technical descriptions within this bulletin
are representative of the technical complexity that must be considered
in great detail before responding. SPAWAR is looking at three possible
architectural approaches for the AEHF development: 1. Upgrade the
existing EHF Follow-On Terminal (FOT) through an additional drawer; 2.
Replacement of the existing EHF drawer with another fully capable
drawer; and 3. Replacement of the FOT with new inboard terminal
equipment The Navy plans for the AEHF inboard terminal equipment
development to commence in FY01 and expects to take receipt of up to
eight engineering models from the source in FY04, for production to
commence in FY05, and for deliveries to begin in FY06. The Navy plans
to procure up to 350 AEHF systemsover the course of 5 years for
shipboard, submarine, and shore platforms. Posted 02/11/00
