- Description
- The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) intends to release Request for Proposal (RFP) N00039-02-R-0016 for a replacement system for the existing Clarinet MERLIN Receiving System (CMRS). This effort will include the production, integration, testing, installation, documentation and maintenance of the entire CMRS including the antenna, receiver, communications system to the Broadcast Control Authority (BCA), and the operator interface/display. Engineering Services will also be required. The present CMRS is a shore based receiving system that monitors transmissions from the Submarine Emergency Communication Transmitter (SECT) buoys (AN/BST-1) launched from SSBN submarines. The receiver sites are strategically located at six sites, three covering the Atlantic Ocean and three covering the Pacific Ocean. In addition, one or more MERLIN receivers (based on the proposed CMRS) may be ordered. SPAWAR anticipates awarding a single Indefinite-Delivery-Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract in fiscal year 2003, incorporating Fixed-Price Line Items. A Statement of Work (SOW) will be provided to prospective offerors. Offerors will be required to provide (i) a technical proposal, (ii) past performance information, and (iii) cost proposal. The performance requirements for the CMRS are to receive, recognize and decode AN/BST-1 buoy transmissions and deliver the messages to the BCA as soon as possible in certain operational areas and within 24 hours of buoy activation in all operational areas with a 95% minimum probability. Additional requirements include: the system shall operate automatically without operator intervention and with minimum operator attention; the system shall be designed for low maintenance, minimum adjustment, high reliability, and high end-to-end system availability; the system shall be capable of conducting periodic system checks and continuous Built-In-Tests (BIT) to ensure the receiver is operational; and the system shall be capable of controlling several diversely-located CMRS(s) simultaneously from the BCA. An offeror must have a SECRET facility clearance to review classified documents referenced in the SOW and contractor personnel must have at least a SECRET clearance to access the BCA. The RFP is expected to be issued approximately 18 February 2003, and will be available at https://e-commerce.spawar.navy.mil under solicitation number N00039-02-R-0016.
