69 -- COMPUTER IMAGE GENERATOR SOL N61339-98-Q-0893 DUE 091898 POC Linda Hill 407-380-4107 or Ronald Dillon, Contracting Officer, 407-380-8385 WEB: NAWCTSD Home Page, Request for Quote, http://www.ntsc.navy.mil/contract/procure.htm. E-MAIL: Linda Hill, NAWCTSD, Code 25713, Linda_Hill@ntsc.navy.mil. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; a quote is being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number N61339-98-Q-0893 is hereby issued as a request for quotation (RFQ) and incorporates the provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-06. The standard industrial classification code for this solicitation is 3699 with a employee size standard of 750. The following items are required: CLIN 0001, Computer Image Generator. This state-of-the-art visual/sensor image generator for training simulation is needed. This acquisition is based upon a cost as an independent variable (CAIV) approach. The available funding for this acquisition is $200,000.00 and contractors offers must be within this dollar amount. The requirements are not absolute and tradeoffs between requirements and price will be considered within reasonable limits, but overall fidelity of simulation will be an important consideration. A robust, full featured image generator proven in large training systems is desired. The intent is to buy the best quality of visual simulation, with as many of the features below for a broad range of Navy training tasks as is affordable. This will be a best value procurement based on cost and value to the Government. Simulation fidelity in depicting the natural environments encountered in military training applications and ease of use are the primary concerns. The system should be capable of simulating the full range of military training environments. Applications will vary from complex pilot training scenarios which require flight over extended terrain areas with realistic visual and sensor imagery to simple surface systems with far less complex scenes. Large numbers of military platforms and special effects will be included in some scenes. The ability to rapidly reconfigure the simulation system and respond to new requirements with a minimum of effort is essential. Major system technical requirements are described below: 3 video channels (4 preferred); 60Hz update rate; 60Hz refresh rate; 1280 x 1024 screen resolution (programmable video formats preferred with higher resolution); Pixel output sufficient to depict typical military training scenes with an adequate coverage factor to account for a reasonable capability for transparency and scene depth; Polygon throughput sufficient to simulated realworld scenes with high geometric complexity; Advanced overload and scene management control for efficient use of system resources to ensure maintaining update rate, and that all changes in the scene characteristics are smooth enough to not be noticed by an observer; Antialiasing of texture and polygon edges using methods which ensure high simulation quality; Large texture memory and ability to page high resolution geospecific photography in real time; Compatibility with a variety of commercial software standards and systems; Easy adaptability to variety of government owned environment data bases which are applicable to Navy training requirements and full compatibility with data base standards and API's such as SEDRIS and Project 2851; Easy to implement support for special mission functions such as height above terrain, collision detection, line of sight determination, etc; Non-linear distortion correction for spherical screens, offset projector locations, non-linear optics, etc and capability for dynamic correction is desired; Weather and atmospheric simulation which accurately depict real work conditions when used with typical display equipment and ability to depict a wide range of conditions; Capability to simulate variety of imaging sensors such as FLIR and Radar along with visual. Best Value Factors will be: (1) Past Performance, (2) Technical Performance, (3) Compatibility with existing Navy training databases and availability of similar databases, (4) Compatibility with existing Navy training systems and requirements, (5) price and (6) Warranty and continuing support. Delivery shall be made within 90 days to Orlando, FL 32826. Delivery shall be made FOB Destination. The following FAR provisions and clauses apply to this acquisition: 52.212-1, 52.212-4 and 52.212-5. The following subparagraphs of FAR 52.212-5(b), and DFARS addenda thereto, apply: (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) and (16); 252.225-7001 and 252.225-7036. A completed copy of FAR 52.212-3, and the following DFARS addenda, must be included with quote: 252.225-7000 and 272.225-7035. Quote is due by 5:00 p.m. EST on 18 September 1998 and may be made by fax to 407-380-8318/4164, Attn: Linda Hill. For information regarding this solicitation, contact Linda Hill at 407-380-4107.
