COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF DECEMBER 18,1997 PSA#1995J -- MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, AND REBUILDING OF EQUIPMENT Contracting
Office: ATTN: Patricia A. Larzelere, 668 LS/PKS, 306 Wakkannai St, Ste
1, San Antonio, TX 78243-139. FAX Number is (210) 977-2080
(unclassified). Telephone requests will NOT be honored. This is a
pre-solicitation notice to determine contractors who would be
interested in this competitive procurement. The contractor must possess
a secret clearance to secure solicitation documentation. Also there
will be some positions needing a Top Secret-SCI for the actual
performance of this contact. Due to the classification of the
information handled by the operators and maintainers, foreign entities
will not be considered. The Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of two
radar systems is being opened for competitive source selection. The
first system is an instrumentation platform, aboard United States Naval
ship capable of gathering extensive radar data on aerospace systems
such as earth satellite vehicles, ballistic missiles, and aircraft. The
instrumentation consists of radar sensors and supporting automatic data
processing equipment, communications, navigation, timing, and telemetry
subsystems. The main acquisition radar operates at S-Band frequencies
and uses a traveling-wave tube (TWT) transmitter with a phased-array
antenna mounted on a rotatable turret. The X-Band tracking radar uses
a TWT transmitter with a 30-foot parabolic dish antenna, steerable in
azimuth and elevation. The second system is a land and sea-capable
transportable S- and X- band dish radar. The system consists of six ISO
containers (X-Band transmitter, S-Band Transmitter, console Shelter,
Signal Processing Shelter, Generator, and Cooling shelter) and a
5-meter dish. In a sea- based configuration, only the transmitter
shelters (2), console shelter, and processor shelter will be placed
onboard a United States Navy ship, which will provide the power and
cooling requirements. The offeror will have responsibility for all
aspects of the O&M to include, but not be limited to: a) sustainment
engineering, b) configuration control, c) software maintenance and
modification, d) organizational level maintenance both onboard and at
onshore facilities, e) instrumentation availability for extended
periods, f) supply and specialized maintenance support to include full
integrated logistics support, and g) operations responsibility for
data reduction and analysis. These are one of a kind systems with
extremely critical performance characteristics and mission availability
requirements. The offeror must have sufficient experience with radar
equipment and personnel skilled in the O&M of these systems. Operators/
maintainers must have in-depth knowledge of DoD communications
procedures and must be able to hold a TS-SCI security clearance.
Offeror must have sufficient depth of personnel to provide worldwide
deployment of Depot Level Teams to effect repairs and/or modifications
that are beyond the capability of onboard maintenance personnel. For
this source selection, utilization of currently employed operators and
maintenance personnel for ship borne systems is considered by the Air
Force a major risk abatement technique. Willingness to employ this
technique must be presented as part of your response to the
solicitation that will later be issued. Please fax to the above
referenced contracting officer the following information: a) Point of
contact that has at least secret clearance with telephone number and
fax numbers, b) information as to the management of your security
clearances with the name and phone number of your security manager, c)
Defense Inventigative Service office that surveils you company with
point of contact and telephone number, and d) telephone number
connected to secured telephone unit. This information should be
received no later than 16 Jan 98. Contractors that are cleared for this
security clearance will receive a draft classified Statement of Work
approximately 31 Jan 98. Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0611 19971218\SP-0021.MSC)
