Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC) Norfolk Detachment Philadelphia intends to procure services required to provide engineering support to the United States Joint Forces Command (US JFCOM) , Suffolk, VA for the specialized development, administration, and maintenance of an existing Definity G3r R11 telephone switch with INTUITY Audix voice mail and an Emerald call accounting system. This requirement will be solicited as a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. The mission of JFCOM is to provide a training environment where Joint Task Force Commanders can learn to develop and implement joint force doctrine, tactics, and procedures in a realistic facility, using computer-simulated scenarios instead of actual troop deployment. JFCOM supports Mission Integration and Rehearsals for assigned forces, where tactics and procedures are developed and practiced in the event of a real-world crisis. These military exercises require expedient and ongoing reconfiguration and reprogramming of the Definity system to adapt to building populations that can vary from less than 1,000 to nearly 3,000 in a matter of days. During an exercise, telephone system reconfiguration takes place on a continuous, often minute-to-minute basis, as mandated by conditions of the exercise and orders from the Joint Task Force Commander. The system includes the secure transmission of voice, video, and data, and must interface with a variety of analog and digital commercial, strategic, and tactical telecommunications systems, video teleconferencing circuits, and foreign systems and circuits belonging to allied nations. Interfaces of the JFCOM Definity system with modeling and simulation systems must be reengineered as the model/simulation evolves. Similar engineering is required to interface the Definity system with telecommunications systems of allied countries such as the Partnership for Peace Simulation Network (PFPSN) to distribute voice communications to U. S. and European sites using Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP), Voice Over Frame Relay (VOFR), or Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). The JFCOM Definity system undergoes continuous reengineering to meet new mission requirements. This includes redesign of the JFCOM cable plant , dial plan, and system software in support of new lab spaces and existing test bays. The system is a unique state-of-the-art telecommunications architecture, unlike any currently existing in the Department of Defense. The requirement is for twelve months of services, commencing 1 October 2006, with three (3) twelve-month option periods. The award of a firm fixed price purchase order is anticipated. Quoters shall be required to submit price and past performance information. Regarding past performance, quoters shall describe its past performance on similar contracts or orders it has held within the last five (5) years which are of similar scope, magnitude and complexity to that which is detailed in the Request For Quote (RFQ), or affirmatively state that it possess no relevant directly related or similar past performance. The RFQ contains more instruction regarding instruction of past performance submission. A formal copy of the Request For Quote (RFQ) Number N00140-06-Q-3422 is available at the website www.neco.navy.mil. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard are 811213 and $6.5M, respectively. All responsible sources may submit a quote that shall be considered by FISC Norfolk Detachment Philadelphia.
