70 -- SOFTWARE DEBUGGER AND PERFORMANCE MEASURING SYSTEM SOL N68936-99-R-0051 DUE 021299 POC Karen C. George, Contract Specialist,(805) 989-1913, H.G. Kelley, Contracting Officer (805) 989-1943 This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION, PROPOSALS ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. N68936-99-R-0051 is issued as a request for proposal. The solicitation and incorporated provisions and clauses are in effect through Federal Acquisitions Circular 97-10. The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Point Mugu, CA intends to procure the following items in accordance with FAR Part 12, Commercial Items, procedures: CLIN 0001: Software Debugger and Performance Measuring System (SDPM) as delineated: The SDPM shall provide real time software debugging and performance measuring capability for the F14-D Mission Computer (MC). The AN/AYK-14 MC was designed by Control Data Corporation and is used in all F14-D aircraft. The specific F14-D MC targeted for instrumentation with the SPDM system is known as the AN/AYK-14 (V), XN-8, VPM-25A/B. The XN-8 computer contains (2) VHSIC Processor Module (VPM) CPUs and (5) five MIL-STD-1553 Discrete Serial Modules (DSMs). In the XN-8 configuration, the SDPM system must interface with (2) VPMs and (2) DSMs. This SDPM will be used to monitor and debug Operational Flight Programs (OFP) developed for the F14-D Integrated Product Team (IPT). The SPDM must provide an off-the-shelf capability to non-intrusively monitor and debug the MC's two (2) VPMs in real time and allow simultaneous bus monitoring of two (2) 1553 buses. Non-intrusive is defined for the purpose of this specification as a device that provides the capability described above without the use of the target computers memory, registers, or CPU. Real-time for the purpose of the specification is defined as testing that provides immediate response to events and logs monitored data to a raw file in the sequential order of its execution in the AN/AYK-14 for post run analysis and retrieval. The flow of program execution at the procedure level is needed to ensure correct code and data areas are accessed. The SDPM shall not inject wait states, cycle stealing, or affect software timing or sequencing during the monitoring function and must provide the capability to monitor (2) two MC configurations simultaneously. All channels being monitored will use a common time stamp to allow correlation of data collected from multiple channels and/or multiple bus channels. The AN/AYK-14 VPM channels shall be able to monitor variables and procedures in the LOG, SNAPSHOT, CODE, and IMAGE modes. Triggering, state machine manipulation, external event triggering, macro events, search, filtering, PEP, STEP, and Log review options shall be supported. The VPM channel shall differentiate between operand read/write, sequential, branch, and call/return access types. New instructions included in the VPM-25B instruction set shall be recognized by the SDPM. The SDPM system must include the personality modules and leads that are necessary to perform testing of the AN/AYK-14, XN-8, VPM-25A/B computer and support microcode versions 10 & 11. In addition, it must be compatible with the automated symbol table translation software used by the F14-D IPT, and capable of tracing, performance profiling, selective data logging, and event detection. The SPDM must provide the capability to time tag events and provide statistics of back plane traffic usage. Test setup, control, and post-run analysis should be accomplished with a symbolic user interface to increase user productivity. Octal, decimal, and hex data representation shall be supported in event specification and in post analysis address and data displays. Graphical analysis software should be provided to plot variable data and profile bus traffic quickly and easily. Real time display of specified variables; continuous recorded trace of user specified events; delayed triggering for pre, center, and post trigger events; ability to record and display which code and data locations were accessed during the testing. The SDPM must be capable of a sustained recording rate of more than 40,000 events per second during the log mode. In the snapshot mode, there will be no buffer overrun nor will there be any occurrences of requested events being missed. The SDPM must be capable of recording up to 250 unique addresses and provide the capability to trigger on the nth occurrence of an event, the difference count between two events, the delta time between two events, or the elapsed time from one event. The device must have provisions to execute user-specified actions upon the occurrence of the conditions described in the preceding sentence. Each 1553 channel shall simultaneously monitor and record traffic on two dual redundant buses, record all traffic on the buses, and detect, identify, and record legitimate bus errors. The SDPM will recognize the following message types: BC to RT, RT to BC, RT to RT, and mode commands. The user shall have the option to record command and status words only, or the command,status, and data words contained in a bus message. Messages will be recorded in the sequential order that they appeared on the bus. The contractor shall provide a user's manual, which gives adequate instructions for installation, operation and routine maintenance. The contractor shall provide all software necessary to enable the system to perform in accordance with the above specifications and requirements and SDPM software enhancements to fully implement the new VPM-25B instruction set. The computer work station for the SDPM requires a minimum 233 MHZ Pentium grade work station, 64MB RAM, 3.5" 1.44 MB Floppy Diskette Drive, Motherboard with 6 free ISA slots and 6 free PCI slots, 17" color monitor (to be used as an interface between the user and the SDPM), 32X CD-ROM, mouse, keyboard, installed monitor/capture software, and Windows 95 operating system. The removable hard disk storage for the SDPM shall consist of 3 SCSI drives of at least 1.2 Gigabyte each, and a removable IDE drive of at least 4.3 Gigabyte. All information technology items must be year 2000 compliant. The contractor shall install and integrate the SDPM with the target processors at the customer site and show that all the features of the SDPM are functioning properly.The contractor shall provide standard commercial warranty for the above described device. Delivery shall be FOB Destination 60 days from date of award to NAWCWPNS, Pt. Mugu and packaged in accordance with standard commercial practices. The awardee is to make delivery arrangements with the government official who will be designated in the contract. At the time of delivery, the contractor shall install and test the SDPM system for acceptance. The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors, applies to this acquisition. Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provisions at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items, and DFARS 252.212-7000, Offeror Representations and Certifications -- Commercial Items. FAR clause 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions, and 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition as well as DFARS clauses 252.204-7004, Required Central Contractor Registration, 252.232-7009, Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer (CCR) and 252.212-7001, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders Applicable to Defense Acquisitions of Commercial Items. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. Proposals must be received by 12 February 1999 by 3:00 pm local time at the Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division, Code 210000E/K. George, 521 9th Street, Building 65, Point Mugu, CA 93035.
