Description
The Combat Survivor Evader Locator (CSEL) Joint Program Office (JPO), Electronic Systems Center/Space & Nuclear Networks Division (ESC/HNS) located at Hanscom AFB, MA is requesting information from industry for experience and capability to produce Hand-Held Radios (HHRs). The CSEL system was designed under a development contract, let in 1996, to The Boeing Company, Inc. A separate production contract was awarded to The Boeing Company, Inc. in 2005 (planned end date of May 2012) to produce approximately 40,000 HHRs. Additionally, The Boeing Company, Inc. is currently completing a design modification to the HHR and its associated software to provide secure Terminal Area Communications/ Terminal Area Guidance capabilities. This development work is planned to be completed by November 2011. The CSEL JPO currently has requirements for production of approximately 5,000 to 15,000 Hand-Held Radios, and associated ancillary equipment to include 417 to 1,250 Radio Set Adapters (RSA), 500 to 1,500 Radio Set Adapter Spares, 10,000 to 30,000 rechargeable batteries, 2,500 to 7,500 rechargeable battery adapters, 5,000 to 15,000 non-rechargeable batteries, 1,250 to 3,750 ear phones, 2,500 to 7,500 ear phone tips, 1,250 to 3,750 antenna support groups and 250 to 750 Global Positioning System (GPS) couplers. The CSEL JPO expects to purchase 50 Test Hand Held Radios (THHRs) for required field testing and other sustainment activities. The CSEL JPO expects the funding to be spread across Fiscal Years (FY) 12-14. Funding/quantity amounts have not yet been determined, funding/quantity is not yet available, and years are subject to change. The previous production efforts have not been continuous production runs. Breaks in production based on funding availability may occur. Quan! tities per production run may vary based on funding availability per fiscal year. The period of performance for this production effort is projected to begin at the start of FY13 and run up to 5 years. In order to provide operationally usable end items, monthly deliveries will be based on complete User Segment Kits. Each User Segment Kit consists of 12 Hand Held Radios, 12 Non-rechargeable batteries, 24 rechargeable batteries, 15 earphones, 18 earphone tips, 3 Antenna Support Groups, and 1 RSA. Additionally, the contractor shall deliver 1 spare RSA and 6 GPS couplers per 10 User Segment Kits. The Contractor will be required to deliver a minimum of 84 User Segment Kits per month, with the exception of the initial delivery. The initial delivery shall consist of a minimum of 30 User Segment Kits no later than 12 months following contract award. If the 12 month timeline cannot be met, the Contractor will need to provide a schedule and details on the amount of effort it wil! l take to get the production line up and running.
