- Description PROGRAM EXECUTIVE OFFICE (PEO)-ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SYSTEM (EIS)/PROGRAM MANAGER (PM) NETWORK SWITCHING CENTERS (NSC), PRODUCT DIRECTOR (PD) LAND MOBILE RADIO (LMR) REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI): This RFI is issued pursuant to FAR 15.201(e). Participation in this RFI is voluntary. Participation in this RFI is not required in order to respond to any subsequent procurement action ACC/NCRCC may take. (A) INTRODUCTION: PD LMR fields solutions that provide for and support National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA) narrowband, Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) Project 25 (P25) Phase I compliant and secure Trunked Land Mobile Radio systems. Current installation LMR systems have been in use for many years and do not meet current P25 and/or NTIA narrowband standards. Phase II of APCO P25 Standards is on the verge of being approved and released. In recognition of this advance in technology as well as the need to meet NTIA Narrowband requirements PD LMR is developing a requirement for NTIA narrowband, APCO P25 Phase I and Phase II compliant secured Trunked LMR systems that have or are participating in the P25 Compliance Assessment Program (CAP). (B) BACKGROUND: The PD LMR mission is to manage, acquire, and deliver non-tactical LMR systems used for public safety and base operations at Army post, camps and stations. Resultant contract vehicles will also be made available to Army customer LMR requirements and open on a limited basis to other Department of Defense (DoD) agencies. (C) PURPOSE OF RFI: The purpose of this RFI is to assist PD LMR as it conducts a market research of LMR systems. This RFI provides LMR system integrators and manufacturers an opportunity to educate PD LMR on their LMR products/services and other innovations that meet or exceed the minimum PD LMR requirements as outlined in Attachment 1, Sample Land Mobile Radio Systems Requirements Statement. Through this process, PD LMR intends to refine its acquisition requirements and issue a solicitation for full and open competition. PD LMR intends to award multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts under FAR Part 12. Specific services and products required include: engineering, furnishing, installing, and testing (EFI&T) of systems, including subscriber unit equipment (portable, mobile, and desktop units); site preparation; security implementation; mutual aid interoperability; training; life cycle support of the fielded systems; and technical assistance, to include engineering studies for system designs, system upgrades, trunking migration plans, narrowband migration plans, technical assistance to prepare frequency request documentation, microwave path studies, etc. For those interested parties familiar with the current Base Radio Support (BRS) contract, the resultant contract action described herein will not be structured to replicate the contract category approach of the BRS contracts. Each successful contractor shall be required to provide all of the above listed services and products. Attachment 1 provides a sample of a typical LMR system modernization requirement. (D) PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: Continental Unites States (CONUS), Outside Continental United States (OCONUS). (E) PRICING: Please provide pricing on the recommended systems that will meet or exceed the minimum requirements as outlined in Attachment 1. Interested parties need not bid out the entire requirement as a solution but rather provide a unit price of components of the system. The price shall include representative costs for basic system infrastructure, including but not limited to the following items: consoles; RF site infrastructure; interoperability solutions, logging recorders, subscriber units, subscriber programming and installation, system implementation and Information Assurance infrastructure. (F) ASSEMBLY OF INFORMATION REQUESTED: Interested sources are requested to provide a capability statement that addresses the following: relevant corporate knowledge/experience related to the LMR requirement; Relevant employee skills/experiences; Security clearancepersonal and facilityheld; Potential teaming arrangements, if applicable; Identify any known, or potential, organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) that may result from a successful offer, and briefly describe how the OCI will be mitigated; and pricing information. The capability statement must also provide the following information: company name and address; point of contact, phone/fax numbers and email address; NAICS Codes; business size and status, type of small business, if applicable (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, VOSB, SDVOSB, etc.).

Restrictions that would limit the Government's ability to use the information for these purposes are of limited value to the Government and are discouraged. Please email or send your capability statements to Mr. Chon S. Son, Contracting Officer, and Ms. Kimberly J. Davidson, LMR Project Leader by 2:00 P.M. (EDT), June 14, 2010. Please email inquires or questions to Mr. Chon S. Son. This RFI is for information and planning purpose only. There is no commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, to make an award or awards, or to be responsible for any monies expended by any interested parties in support of any effort in response to this RFI. Any information submitted in response to this RFI is strictly voluntary. It is the responsibility of interested sources to monitor this site for the release of any follow-on information.
