- Description
- Sources Sought/Market Survey The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) requests information from industry regarding SPAWAR?s potential procurement of a Replacement for the KG-40A cryptographic device. This announcement invites interested contractors to submit White Papers to be received no later than 22 January 2003. Vendors should include prior experience with both serial and parallel KG-40A/Link 11 and experience with developing Type 1 cryptographic devices for NSA (or equivalent governmental agency to include device or module certification). Vendors must have at least a SECRET facility security clearance and should include a discussion of how vendors would handle classified material up to and including SECRET. Access by foreign contractors is subject to review and foreign disclosure approval. THIS IS A REPLACEMENT ONLY EFFORT. White papers should include the vendor?s strategy for meeting a short development cycle of 24 months and delivery of a minimum of 200 units (a mixture of parallel and serial depending on needs of the services) beginning in FY06. The KG-40A is a half-duplex digital device used to provide cryptographic security protection for the US Navy Link 11 system and any data communications meeting Tactical Data Information Link (TADIL) A data standards. The Replacement effort of the KG-40A will be required to match form, fit and function of both serial and parallel devices currently in use on US Navy ships, aircraft, shore test and repair facilities and the Army Patriot Missile Defense System. Also included in the KG-40A Replacement effort are the peripheral equipment including the MT-4417/S Parallel Mount, MT-4416/A Serial Mount, and KGX-40A Remote Control Unit (RCU). Additional comments/questions about any aspect of this proposed acquisition are welcome.
