- Description
- This is a Request for Information (RFI). The Global Positioning Systems Joint Service System Management Office (GPS JSSMO) at Robins AFB, GA has a requirement for Defense Advanced GPS Receivers (DAGRs) or equivalent. At this time, the Government is anticipating a Sole Source Follow-on Contract with an estimated RFP release in Fourth quarter FY15. The probable ordering period will begin first quarter FY17 and extend through FY22. The purpose of this notice is to determine if there are companies with existing products or the capability to manufacture a product that meet the requirements of the DAGR specification, SS-M/V-600. Features related to the Selective Availability Anti Spoofing Module (SAASM) are the most important aspect of the product. Equal product shall provide the capabilities of the current DAGR, to include, but not limited to: worldwide positioning and navigation through continuous tracking of all satellites in view, direct Y-code acquisition; SAASM architecture unclassified-when-keyed operation and updated security features; upgradeable capabilities; and be interoperable with the PLGR/DAGR. Performance and interface requirements are also contained in the DAGR specification. The current DAGR is manufactured by Rockwell Collins Inc. Potential bidders may obtain access to the current specification and reference documents from Yvette Coddington, 478-926-1390 or email: yvette.coddington@us.af.mil. The planned contract format is a 5-year, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity type contract for the production of DAGRs (to include a warranty) as well as repairs, engineering services, computer based training, and logistics support. Interested parties should have a proven manufacturing capability (complexity, quality and volume) of same/similar product, ability to sustain an average rate of 200 receivers a month, and an approved SAASM vendor as prime or as subcontractor. No GFP equipment or materials will be provided to assist in manufacturing or repair. This acquisition will contain classified material. The production contract will contain a Contract Security Classification Specification (DD254). Work performed under this acquisition may be classified up to and including the SECRET level. Offerors must comply with security requirements found in the Navstar GPS Protection Guide. Offerors must have Facility Clearance of at least the Secret Level. At the time of award of the production contract, the contractor must have a GPS COMSEC account with the Government. Notice to Foreign-Owned Firms: US procurement contracts for GPS Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) equipment must be awarded to US companies. Foreign teaming, licensing, or subcontracting are allowed: however, the participating companies must clearly demonstrate that the hardware and software implementing the GPS cryptography are designed, built and integrated within US borders by US companies. This requirement must be separately auditable. If you have an existing product that you believe meets the above requirements or the capability to manufacture an equal product, please provide a description of the product and a Company Capability Statement to: Yvette Coddington via email: yvette.coddington@us.af.mil or by phone 478-926-1390.
