Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation Number N00421-00-R-0599 is issued as a request for proposal (RFP). Simplified acquisition procedures will be used for purchase of these commercial supplies in accordance with FAR 13.5. The incorporated document and provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-19 and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement Change Notice 20000825. The Government intends to purchase on a firm fixed-price basis and to solicit and negotiate the proposed contract for processor boards on a brand name mandatory basis for Concurrent Computer Corporation (CCC) part number 3200-2000 for the part numbers listed below, under the authority of FAR Part 6.302-1. CCC is the manufacturer of this equipment. The processor boards must be capable of boosting the memory and increase the speed of the existing hardware for the Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility (FACSFAC) AN/FYK-23 Scheduling System (FACSKED). The FACSFACs are responsible for the coordination of Air and Surface traffic in many of the DOD operational areas (OPAREAS), used for military, civilian and commercial purposes. The FACSKED is a scheduling system designed to assist the NAVY in managing OPAREA usage, by providing OPAREA deconfliction and producing a weekly and daily schedule for the fleet. With the increasing demands on FACSFACs scheduling requirements, the FACSKED systems are overtaxed, hampering the FACSFACs ability to provide the necessary fleet support for maintaining mission readiness. The required processor boards will increase the speed of the system by a factor of three. The CCC processor boards are the only commercial-off-the-shelf item that can meet these identified Government minimum requirements. The contract line item numbers and description are** CLIN 0001 -- Concurrent Computer Corporation 3200-2000 Computer System to include: a PowerPC, 128MB of ECC memory, CDS/Console interface, one MUX bus interface and three EDMA bus interfaces (P/N: 3200-2000).
