- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT MARKET SURVEY. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. REQUESTS FOR A SOLICITATION WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. Any information submitted by respondents to this synopsis is strictly voluntary. This market survey does not constitute a Request for Proposals (RFP) or a request for sealed bids (IFB), nor does its issuance restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition approach. The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this notice, nor pay respondents for any information that they submit in response to this Sources Sought request. The United States Army CECOM Security Assistance Management Directorate (SAMD) is conducting this sources sought market survey to determine price and availability (P&A) from potential sources capable of fulfilling a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requirement as follows.

Radios listed below must be able to communicate using single channel voice and data, as well as Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) frequency hopping waveforms compatible with existing Saudi Arabia SINCGARS systems. Response should describe how you ensure the proposed systems are compatible with existing Saudi Arabian SINCGARS radios. Requirements call for tactically rugged vehicular systems with the ability to operate in plain or cipher text, with built-in GPS, and with multiple single channel and frequency hopping channel pre-sets. Requirements also call for the ability to install systems, provide in-country operator and intermediate level maintenance training, and provide in-country Field Support Representatives (FSR).

Format: Interested parties are requested to respond to this market survey with a white paper in Microsoft Word Office 2007 compatible format. Responses are limited to 15 pages, including cover and administrative pages. Response documents should be written using a 10 point font size or larger. The paper must include company name, company address, overnight delivery address (if different from mailing address), cage code, point of contact, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number; business size, unique qualifiers (e.g. large, foreign, small disadvantage, veteran owned, woman owned, etc.). The Government acknowledges its obligation under 18 U.S.C. 1905 to protect information qualifying as confidential under this statute. Pursuant to this statute, the Government is willing to accept any proprietary (e.g., trade secret) restrictions placed on qualifying data forwarded in response and to protect it from unauthorized disclosure subject to the following: 1. Clearly and conspicuously mark qualifying data with the restrictive legend (all caps) PROPRIETARY with any explanatory text, so that the Government is clearly notified of what data needs to be appropriately protected. 2. In marking such data, please take care to mark only those portions of the data or materials that are truly proprietary (over breadth in marking inappropriate data as proprietary may diminish or eliminate the usefulness of your response-see item 3 below). Use circling, underscoring, highlighting or any other appropriate means to indicate those portions of a single page which are to be protected. 3. The Government is not obligated to protect unmarked data. Additionally, marked data that is already in the public domain or in the possession of the Government or third parties, or is afterward placed into the public domain by the owner or another party through no fault of the Government will not be protected once in the public domain. Data already in the possession of the Government will be protected in accordance with the Government's rights in the data. 4. Proprietary data transmitted electronically, whether by physical media or not, whether by the respondent or by the government, shall contain the proprietary legend, with any explanatory text, on both the cover of the transmittal e-mail and the beginning of the file itself. Where appropriate for only portions of an electronic file, identify where the restrictive legends proprietary portion begins and where the proprietary portion ends. Questions regarding this announcement shall be submitted in writing by e-mail to the Point of Contact, steven.c.cooper8.ctr@mail.mil. Verbal questions will not be accepted. Questions will not contain proprietary or classified information. The Government does not guarantee that questions received after 15 September 2017 will be answered. Response Deadline and Submissions: Parties may begin submitting responses to this request for information immediately with all white paper submissions due no later than 15 September 2017.
