The mobile SCAMP terminal is a SATCOM communication terminal for the AN/FSC-125 Communication Set Satellite. The Fixed-Site SCAMP configuration adds an accessory package to the mobile SCAMP terminal that allows it to be controlled from a remote location up to 1,000 feet away. In the FSS application the terminal operates in a receive mode only as the transmit capabilities of the terminal are not used. The FSS provides Air Force users with secure, robust, and-jam resistant reception of Emergency Action Message (EAM) data. The FSS consists of a mobile SCAMP terminal that is housed in an environmentally controlled radome along with other auxiliary equipment. This request for information pertains to the support of the Fixed-Site SCAMP specific parts and servicing and not the mobile SCAMP terminal equipment. The primary function of this effort is to acquire parts support in the form of repairing, developing technical data and providing or producing or identifying replacement parts, for specific FSS parts. Examples of critical parts are: fiber-optic multiplexers and a pair of control logic cards. The first logic card is placed in an enclosure on the pallet that supports the radome. The second logic card resides in a rack that is placed indoors. The control logic cards are used for functions such as, but not limited to, electrical power regulation, relays for transfer of electrical power, and control status sensing. The contractor shall provide technical expertise in analyzing and custom parts engineering, and identifying form, fit and function replacements when necessary. The contractor shall be responsible to test and verify that replacement parts meet form, fit and function requirements. Contractor personnel shall be required to have Secret security clearances. Contractor shall be required to travel to FSS sites to troubleshoot, repair, replace, or install and test all equipment necessary to maintain operational sustainment of the FSS. Include the following as part of the Statement of Capability (SOC): describe relevant past experience and expertise with removing, installing, troubleshooting, operating, to include, if applicable, repairing and producing, and providing parts and service to Fixed Site SCAMP terminals. Also, state your company's capability to provide parts and servicing functions on a quick turn basis. The basic period of performance is anticipated to be 3 years, base year with two (2) one-year options. If the Government elects to do so, a projected Request for Proposal (RFP) release date for this effort is estimated to be in the late 2014 timeframe.
