58 -- DIGITAL VOICE SYSTEM SOL RFO2-36456(WLS) DUE 102695 POC Contact Wanda L. Snyder, Telephone (415)604-4696, e-mail address to Wanda_Snyder@qmgate.arc.nasa.gov, Contracting Officer, Dolores M. Morrison, (415)604-1071 Furnish, assemble, and install a digital voice system. The new system will be used to provide interfaces to NASCOM provided circuits for ground-to-ground and air-to-ground voice communi cations used to coordinate space flight experiments with various NASA Centers. These experiments will fly aboard the Space Shuttle Orbiter, within the Spacelab and Middeck, and aboard the future international Space Station (ISS). The system will also be used in experiment test and integration operations at Ames Research Center, Building N240A and N244. The scope of the work will include delivery, assembly and setup of two linked matrix switches with twelve user interface panels and twenty-four headsets for each matrix. The system will include installation racks for the matrix switch and will be completely assembled. The matrix switches will include input/output interfaces to digital and analog GFE services in voice conference networks and dial telephone networks. System requirements are in two main cate gories, the matrix switch and the user interface panel. The switches are to be fully independent and capable of standalone operation. When linked, the switches shall be able to share up to 24 circuits in mixed modes, talk/listen, and monitor only. Each user interface panel is required to have two headsets of Plan tronic Supra type or equivalent. The system shall include operations and maintenance and user manuals for the matrix switch and user interface panels. The government shall provide cable plant circuits for matrix switch link between buildings N240A and N244. A summary of the system hardware is as follows: 2 Matrix Switches, 24 User interface Panels, 48 Headsets. Delivery of the system shall be 120 days after contract award and shall be fully oper ational 180 days after delivery. The standard industrial classi fication code is 3661.
