This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number N61339-98-Q-0397 is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). All references to "offers" are understood to be "quotations". The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-3. The Government intends to award on a sole source basis to Hypergraphics Corporation, Denton, TX. The system requirements of this instructional delivery system are as follows: a.. Response Pad/Keypad Keypad: Receiver unit is dual conversion superset for sensitivity, stability and selectivity. Transmitter is a single transistor using FM modulation. Keypad membrane: Flexible faceplate has twelve keys: a "CLEAR" key, a "userdefined" key, and ten functional keys numbered 1-10. Additional response options, "YES" and "NO," are on keys 1 and 2, and letters A-E are on keys 1-5. Circuitry: Entirely solid state using a CMOS micro-controller, silicon transistors, and FETs. Communication between keypads and interface unit is crystal referenced. Power Supply: Keypads are powered by a standard 9-volt alkaline battery. Power supply is internally regulated to ensure predictable operation. Battery should provide enough power for at least 10,000 questions or two years, whichever comes first. Enclosure: Keypads are constructed of ABS plastic and measure 1-3/8" high x 3" wide x 6-11/16" long. b.. Receiver Unit/Integrating the keypads into the software Capacity: Each receiver supports up to 250 keypads. Eight channels are available for a combined capacity of 2,000 keypads. Classrooms on the same channel need to be about 200 feet apart to avoid interference. Compatibility: Includes a microprocessor-controlled RS-232C serial interface which makes the system compatible with all PCs. Performance: Keypads are interrogated in sequence. Up to 250 keypad responses can be processed in 3 seconds. Range: System provides reliable operation in an area large enough to reach an audience of 250. c.. Software Submitting and receiving input from each participant: The software component to this system is a database driven Windows 95 system. The software integrates the hardware into the system and allows the following functions: Question entry into a database and delivery of those questions to students with immediate feedback via the student response pads. Also will need to incorporate tracking of each individual student with a keypad. Question entry into a Jeopardy-like game and delivery of those questions to students with immediate feedback via the student response pads. Also will need to incorporate tracking of each individual student with a keypad. Question entry into a database where the delivery is integrated into a separate program (PowerPoint, Word, etc.) and delivery of those questions to students with immediate feedback via the student response pads. Also will need to incorporate tracking of each individual student with a keypad. Any questions in database need to be able to be integrated into a stand-alone paper test/asynchronous computerized test. These tests are created dynamically by the instructor using a wizard to select questions resident in the database. The entire system facilitates instructors getting immediate feedback from every student using the software to integrate keypad usage. Delivery is to be made FOB Destination to: 48 response pads, 2 receivers and 2 copies of the hypervison software to Fleet ASW Training Center, San Diego, CA 92136; 308 response pads, 11 receivers and 11 copies of the hypervision software to NAWCTSD, Great Lakes, IL 60088; 100 response pads, 4 receivers and 4 copies of the hypervision software to Naval Technical Training Center, Meridian, MS 39309; 26 response pads, 1 receiver and 1 copy of the hypervision software to Naval Construction Training Center, Port Hueneme, CA 93043. 30 days after contract award.
