A--JTRS Cluster 5 Radio Sets. For Information contact Ms. Debra Moretti, [phone hidden].

NA USACECOM and PM, WIN-T are anticipating issuing a Best Value Competitive Request for Proposal (RFP). The RFP Number for this acquisition is DAAB07-03-R-E808 and it provides for the acquisition of the System Development and Demonstration (SDD), Spiral 1 Li mited Production and Spiral 2 Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP), of the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) Cluster 5 Radio Sets. The proposed contract types are as follows: SDD Phase is Cost Reimbursement type, Time and Material contract line for Contra ctor Support Services for the JTRS Cluster 5, Firm-Fixed Price for the limited Production for Spiral 1, and Firm-Fixed Price with Successive Targets for the Low Rate Initial Production of Spiral 2. The PM is employing a performance approach for the acquisi tion of the JTRS Cluster 5 Radio Sets. Offerors shall propose a best value approach based on solicitation requirements as annotated under the Statement of Work and the Performance Requirement Specification and Appendices that will be posted with the solici tation package. Additionally, the PM will identify a minimum set of schedule parameters to which the contractor must adhere. The contractor will propose discrete milestones within those parameters. It is proposed that the evolutionary development and dem onstration of the JTRS Cluster 5 Radio Sets will involve the development of the Spiral 1 Single Channel Handheld (HH) and Two Channel Manpack (MP), and the Spiral 2 Two Channel Handheld (HH), Two Channel Manpack (MP), and the nine various form factors of t he Spiral 2 Small Form Fit (SFF). The first spiral satisfies a critical and urgent Joint Warfighter requirement by modifying Commercial Off The Shelf/Non Developmental Items (COTS/NDI) and porting available waveforms. A second spiral provides expanded cap ability, ports additional waveforms, and fully complies with requirements of the JTRS ORD, Version 3.2. Information on the waveforms associated with each of the form factors by spiral will be provided with the solicitation package. All JTRS Cluster 5 ass ets, including Spiral 1 and Spiral 2, will be SCA compliant. The estimated range quantities to be acquired are as follows: Spiral 1 Handheld (HH) approximate range quantities of 3,000 to 5,000, 5,001 to 7,000, 7,001 to 10,000; Spiral 1 Manpack (MP) approxi mate range quantities of 1,500 to 2,000, 2,001 to 2,500, 2,501 to 3,000; Spiral 2 Handheld (HH) to range quantities of 2,000 to 3,000, 3,001 to 4,000, 4,001 to 5,000; Spiral 2 Manpack (MP) range quantities of 7,000 to 7,750, 7,751 to 8,750, 8,751 to 9,750; Spiral 2 Small Form Fit (SFF) 3,000 to 3,750, 3,751 to 4,750, 4,751 to 5,750. This acquisition also includes currently undefined quantities of AKits, Accessories, and Ancillary Items (Batteries, Interface Cables, Power Cables, Antennas, and Mounting Brac kets for the Manpack). Delivery Points are to be determined.
