Full Description

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) intends to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) N00039-03-R-0028 for the award of an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF)/Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract for the Department of the Navy's KG-40 A Replenishment (KG-40AR) Tactical Data Link Encryptor Program. The products and services to be rendered under this contract will involve a planned 24-month design and development effort to manufacture a form-fit-function replenishment device that is interoperable with the current KG-40A device and peripheral equipment. Contractors accomplishing services in this area must be able to provide a workforce capable of performing both technical and managerial tasks, while meeting the security and quality assurance requirements inherent in this effort. The replacement KG-40A will be required to match form, fit and function of both serial and parallel devices currently in use on Navy ships, aircraft, shore test and repair facilities and the Army Patriot Missile Defense System. Also included in the KG-40A Replacement effort are the peripheral equipment including the MT-4417/S Parallel Mount, MT-4416/A Serial Mount, and KGX-40A Remote Control Unit (RCU). This is a full and open competition. Issuance of the solicitation is estimated for July 2003. Contract award is estimated for October 2003. The projected proposal due date/time in this synopsis is an estimate only. The actual proposal due date/time will be established in the RFP. Industry Day: SPAWAR anticipates conducting an "Industry Day" July 1, 2003, for interested parties to meet with Government personnel so that: 1) the Government can provide interested parties with information about the KG-40AR and 2) the Government can answer questions about the contents of the Draft RFP (to be issued approximately June 12, 2003). The Government will not pay for any travel and/or administrative costs associated with an interested party's attendance at "Industry Day." The event will be held in Charleston, South Carolina. The decision to attend or not to attend will not have an impact on any potential, future evaluation of a proposal that may be submitted in response to a potential RFP. Moreover, the information provided by each interested party will not have an impact on any potential, future evaluation of a proposal that may be submitted in response to a potential RFP. A future synopsis will be released providing details about registration for the meeting, the agenda, forum, (i.e. "open" or "one-on-one") specific date, location, visit request requirements, etc.
