- Description
- In accordance with FAR 15.201(e), this is a Request for Information (RFI). The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport, RI (NUWCDIVNPT) issues this Request for Information (RFI) to aid the United States Navy in determining if there is sufficient industrial expertise and interest to proceed with a competitive procurement for the production of Video Improvement Effort (VIE) Assemblies. The VIE provides a display for Photonics Mast Variant (PMV) viewing and processing. The VIE assembly should include all items provided to the Navy for SSGN submarine deployment, including but not limited to: the display and controls, the handgrip connection, video capture hardware and processors. The VIE supports all 3 PMV Cameras and is installed on the SSGN Class submarines with TI04. The purpose of the VIE will be to provide PMV training to SSGN Combat Control crews as part of the Submarine Multi-Mission Team Trainer (SMMTT) shore-based facilities in Bangor and King's Bay. SMMTT performs visual simulation for periscope that is currently provided to the Integrated Submarine Imaging System (ISIS) and Type-8 Periscope Mockups at these facilities. The VIE was recently added to the SSGN Combat Control Area due to latency issues with video streaming to ISIS. The VIE is an intelligent display which you can interact with and has several overlays and functions, all of which are assumed required for adequate training of Combat Control Personnel. SMMTT visual simulation for all 3 cameras would be provided to the VIE in the same form as provided to the VIE by the PMV cameras on the SSGN submarine (e.g. SDI w/ matching resolutions and refresh rates). This RFI is intended to gather information regarding possible technical solutions and their characteristics. NUWCDIVNPT's goal is to use the information collected to develop an acquisition strategy for a competitive best value acquisition. NUWCDIVNPT requests that submittals briefly and clearly describe the potential approach or concept, outline critical technical issues, and comment on the expected performance, robustness, affordability, weight, size and power requirements of the proposed approach. Responses should be limited to five pages for any given concept. Any proprietary concepts or information should be clearly identified as such. For all RFI responses, an additional, non-proprietary cover page is also requested identifying your company name, technical point of contact and contact information. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this RFI or to otherwise pay for the information solicited, nor is the Government obligated to issue a soli! citation based on responses received. Input on technical aspects of the responses may be solicited by NUWCDIVNPT from non-Government consultants/experts who are bound by appropriate non-disclosure requirements. Failure to respond to this RFI will not preclude participation in any future RFP, if issued. In order to comply with scheduling priorities, responders are asked to provide feedback by no later than close of business (COB) June 19, 2009. RFI Responses should be submitted in a commonly used electronic format and may be e-mailed or mailed on a CD-ROM to: Mr. Carlos Tavares, Code 252, NUWCDIVNPT, 1176 Howell Street, Newport, RI, 02841. e-mail Carlos.Tavares@navy.mil.
