58 -- AN/TTC-56(V)1, SINGLE SHELTER SWITCH (SSS) DUE 080399 POC Jon Vogel, 732-532-1486 WEB: Program Manager, jvogel@c3smail.monmouth.army.mil. This office is attempting to identify vendors capable of providing the various existing switching equipments delineated below, integrating them into a downsized shelter configuration (designated AN/TTC-56(V)1 Single Shelter Switch), and providing the associated technical services required to deliver, train and install the equipment at their final field destinations. The U.S. Army Office of the Project Manager, Warfighter Information Network-Terrestrial, is seeking sources capable of integrating, shelterizing, testing, and delivering existing, certified interoperable Tactical Switching Equipment. To PM WIN-T's knowledge, the only existing switches/equipment that meet these requirements are specifically, any of GTE Corporation's family of Compact Digital Switches (CDS), GTE PN: 02-1414102-1, and Switch Multiplexer Units (SMU), GTE PN: 02-275-4030-3, GTE's Single Row Nest (SRN), GTE PN: 03-2753097-1, the Army family of Line Termination Units (LTU) CV-4180A(V)1, CV-4180A(V)2, and CV-4180A(V)3, PNs: SM-E-8192940-2, SM-D-823020-4, and SM-D-823020-5, and all associated peripherals, cables, and variable card sets associated with these equipments. The switching equipment must be able to run the Routing TEP switch software developed by and partly owned by GTE. Additionally, any proposed alternative to the above listed equipment must be form, fit and function equivalent. The SSS must conform to the technical requirements of specification A3252533 (and Engineering Change Proposal E7GF759003R1, which adds high speed data processing capability to SSS). The aforementioned Tactical Switching Equipments provide existing, forward looking, tactical switching systems which have already been certified by the Executive Agent for Tactical Switches. As the Government does not own the full technical documentation and data rights to the aforementioned equipments, potential qualified vendors must obtain/possess the technical information and data rights to the GTE CDS and SMU family of switches, and the Digital Line Termination CCAs necessary to populate the switches and LTU to meet various terminal interface requirements of all potential military users. Potential qualified vendors must also possess and demonstrate an intimate knowledge of both MSE and AN/TTC-39 family of circuit and message switches. Vendors must possess and demonstrate the capability to provide technical engineering support services necessary to field, train and support this equipment. V Posted 07/01/99 (W-SN349235). (0182)
