58 -- TWO-WAY, SATELLITE BASED, MOBILE DATA COMMUNICATION AND VEHICLE TRACKING/REPORTING SYSTEM SOL DAAB07-00-R-A025 POC Mr. Edward Kierman, (732)532-3135 or Mr. Christopher Nielsen, (732)532-3022 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the requiring activity, ekierman@c3smail.monmouth.army.mil or cnielsen@c3smail.monmouth.army.mil. The U.S. Army PM MILSATCOM is conducting a Market Survey to identify sources with Non-Developmental Items (NDIs) or Commercial Items that are capable of providing a two-way, satellite based, mobile data communication and vehicle tracking/reporting system. The system shall provide near real-time two-way data communication between military Command Centers and military vehicles and near real-time two-way data communication between military vehicles. The system shall also provide position location reporting and tracking of military vehicles both automatically or on demand and have a proven capability of interfacing with existing military communication networks and data systems. The system to be offered shall be a commercially available, mature, full production sysem that can be readily deployed on military vehicles. The system shall be available for delivery in production quantities and be available for global deployment and operation at CONUS and OCONUS locations. The system shall be capable of operation using commercially available satellites. The system shall have demonstrated Low Probability of Intercept (LPI)/Low Probability of Detection (LPD) and commercial encoding capabillities. The system shall have a satellite earth terminal and message processing hub facility capable of being operated by military/government or contractor personnel. The vehicle mounted equipment shall have a proven capability of operation on various types of military vehicles without interference with other military legacy systems and a proven capabaility of data interface with military legacy systems. The system shall also have command center equipment/software with a proven capability of interfacing with existing military communications networks and data systems. Interested sources shall be capable of fielding the system as complete turn-key systems or components of the system both CONUS and OCONUS. Sources shall be capable of providing installation, training and initial on-site support for ground station equipment, vehicle mountedequipment, and command center equipment/software. Any potential offeror's logistics support shall include a proven depot type repair service. Interested sources are required to provide the following information in response to this Market Survey: Technical description of systems offered and performance parameters; description of systems logistics support requirements to include training, maintenance, repair and spare parts arrangements for the system offered; description of the reliability history of the system offered to include mean time between failure and mean time, mean time to repair; description of commercial warranty provisions and return process; description of any limitations regarding modification of commercial product to be adapted to military wheeled or tracked vehicles. e.g., cables, mounting brackets, MILGPS integration, etc.; GSA schedules or existing work with other services; identification of similar systems now being used commercially, commercially in support of th DOD and any military system in operation; and, the identification and/or provide reports of any system testing and use by the U.S. Military, DOD, and/or U.S. Government Agencies. The anticipated period of performance would be for a minimum of three to five years with additional option years. All responses to this Market Survey are required not later than 30 days from the issue date of the survey. The Request for Proposal number above has been issued for tracking purposes only.
