This is a market survey for upgraded Land Mobile Radio (LMR) communication capabilities to substantially reduce and/or eliminate the radio dead zones in order to safely support field operations for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel. The Government has created an initial design based on linear simulcast technology. Also included are stand-alone repeaters at certain locations to support Office of Field Operations (OFO). Simulcast is required based on the limited spectrum in the areas requiring improved coverage. This effort must validate the initial Government design, deliver, install, configure, integrate, and test the solution as well as provide training and documentation. The project will provide the specific hardware, software, accessories, and services required to deliver a fully-functional system. A DRAFT Statement of Work (SOW) is attached to this market survey. It is the FAA’s intent to develop, award, and administer a contractual agreement on behalf of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in order to support this effort. Responses to this market survey will be used for informational purposes only. This is not a Screening Information Request or Request for Proposal of any kind. The FAA is not seeking nor accepting unsolicited proposals at this time. Any information provided under this market survey is for informational purposes only and will not be released. Any proprietary information submitted will be protected if appropriately marked. The FAA will not pay for any information received or costs incurred in preparing the response to the market survey. Therefore, any cost associated with the market survey submission is solely at the interested vendors' expense. The FAA anticipates awarding an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a period of performance consisting of one (1) 24 month base period with one (1) 12 month option period. At this time the nature of the competition has not been determined. The FAA may decide to do a full and open competition or set aside all or part of the procurement for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses or eligible socially and economically disadvantaged businesses that are certified by the SBA for participation in the SBA's 8(a) Program. This market survey will be utilized to solicit statements of interest and capabilities from small businesses, in particular service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and 8(a) certified firms, capable of providing the required support. This market survey is also being conducted in order to obtain the information necessary to determine whether adequate competition exists to set-aside the competition among small businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, or 8(a) certified firms. The principle North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this effort is 334511, Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,250 employees.
