- Description
- This is an announcement by the U.S. Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) on behalf of the Airborne, Maritime, Fixed Station (AMF) Program Office to announce updated information for the Small Airborne Networking Radio (SANR) Program. This announcement serves as a notification to industry of procurement of Non-Developmental Items (NDIs) to meet the requirements of the Small Airborne Networking Radio (SANR) system for Army Aviation platforms. SANR is intended as a two-channel, software-defined, National Security Agency (NSA) Type 1 networking radio providing seamless real-time information operating in highly mobile and dynamic combat environments. SANR will provide Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS), Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW) and Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) capability, offering voice and data networking and increased data throughput to Army Aviation platforms. This announcement contains two (2) notifications for vendors interested in the SANR acquisition. 1. SANR Information Repository Content The Government hereby advises potential industry sources having an interest in the SANR acquisition program of the availability of SANR-related source code and applicable documents. The applicable source code and supporting documents may be provided to each authorized vendor and their subcontractors, if applicable. In order to receive a copy of the source code and applicable documents, vendors and their subcontractors must be authorized to have access to the Joint Tactical Networks (JTN) Information Repository (IR) AMF SANR folder. To obtain authorization, each vendor/subcontractor must complete the request for AMF SANR access and sign the AMF SANR Solicitation Use and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and the Terms of Use Agreement Addendum for the Raytheon BBN Technologies Corp. Components of Wideband Networking Waveform Computer Software. Required documents for access will be available on the JTN IR website, https://ir-registration.sd.spawar.navy.mil/index.asp. Vendors are encouraged to request authorization to the AMF SANR folder as soon as possible. Those vendors that do not have a properly certified Military Critical Technical Data Agreement (DD Form 2345) can start that process immediately by following the procedures documented at the IR website. Access to the JTN IR requires users to have a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate. For information on External Certification Authorities (ECA) vendors that are authorized to provide non-DoD personnel and contractors with PKI certificate services, please see the following website, http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca/. Authorized contractors and/or subcontractors interested in the SANR acquisition may be granted access to the AMF SANR unclassified repository on the JTN IR once all of the artifacts are loaded onto the site, but access will be allowed only after the contractor/subcontractor has completed and submitted the request for AMF SANR access and the AMF SANR Solicitation NDA, and only after the DD Form 2345 information is verified by the Government. No classified information will be made available to any contractors or subcontractors via the JTN IR. Contractors and/or subcontractors requesting access to the JTN IR classified artifacts for SANR will be provided the information on a Compact Disk (CD) upon Government confirmation of clearance and approval of a need to know. The CDs will be encrypted in order to protect the data, and will be sent to the contractor's approved address for receipt of classified information. The CD recipients will need to contact the Contracting Officer, Matthew Connolly at matthew.j.connolly1.civ@mail.mil in order to receive the CD's password to decrypt the content. All recipients of the classified artifact CD shall agree to return the CD as well as any/all copies of the Data contained on the CD in the vendor's possession as agreed the AMF SANR Solicitation Use and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Important Note: All recipients of SANR related JTN IR artifacts from the previous Solicitation No. W15P7T-13-R-5005 must destroy all downloaded data, including source code, and notify in writing to Matthew Connolly at matthew.j.connolly1.civ@mail.mil. Failure to do so shall constitute a material breach of the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Small Airborne Networking Radio (SANR) RFP Use and Non-Disclosure Agreement, paragraph (1)(a) and a rejection to access the SANR updated information under Solicitation No. W15P7T-15-R-0014. 2. Government Site Visits The Government hereby advises potential industry sources having an interest in the SANR acquisition program of Government's interest to visit vendors' facilities that intend to produce the SANR. The purpose of the site visit is for AMF's market survey update and to provide vendor's an opportunity to demonstrate small airborne technology, the status of SANR NDI activities, and manufacturing capabilities. Vendor's interested in hosting AMF Program Office representatives at their facilities will need to contact Matthew Connolly at matthew.j.connolly1.civ@mail.mil in order to schedule the visit. The Government will only be available from March to May of 2015 to conduct site visits. Proprietary Data Protection Agreement (PDPA) (Attachment 1) Vendors are advised that employees of the firms identified in Attachment 2 of this announcement may serve as non-government reviewers during Government SANR market research, to include but not limited to site visits and request for information activities. These individuals will be authorized access only to those portions of the Vendor provided data and Government discussions that are necessary to enable them to perform their respective duties. Such firms are expressly prohibited from competing on the subject acquisition. If a vendor requires these firms to sign a PDPA, vendors must notify in writing to the below firms point of contact within two (2) weeks of this announcement publication date. This notice is issued solely for information and planning purposes. It does not constitute an RFP or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This notice does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the Government is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Respondents are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in responding to this notice; all costs associated with responding to this notice will be solely at the interested parties' expense. Not responding to this notice does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if issued. If an RFP is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website. It is the responsibility of the potential responder to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this requirement. Contractors interested in the SANR procurement are advised to monitor the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website at http://www.fbo.gov for additional updated information about the SANR program. ---CHANGE 1--- The purpose of this modification/amendment to the announcement for the Airborne, Maritime, Fixed Station (AMF) Program Office, Small Airborne Networking Radio (SANR) Program is to include Attachment 2, which lists the firms of employees that may serve as non-government reviewers during Government SANR market research. Please refer to the original announcement for more information.
