The CLRF program fulfills existing requirements for: Advanced Eye-safe Rangefinder Observation System (AEROS); Target Location, Designation, and Hand-off System (TLDHS); urgent LRF needs in support of the Global War on Terrorism; and future LRF requirements. This contract will consist of two sections: (1) a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity section for a LRF system and (2) a cost reimbursement section for required support services. The Common Laser Range Finder System shall include one (1) each of the following components: (a) Class 1 (Navy) Eye Safe Laser Range Finder; (b) A-magnetic Tripod; (c) Global Positioning System Data cable; (d) Two (2) sets of batteries; (e) Soft-sided carrying bag; (f) Hard transport case; (g) Operators Manual; (h) Training manual and Quick Reference Card; (i) Two (2) year warranty on optics and electronics; and (j) Shipping. The anticipated services include, but are not limited to: fielding support, logistics/sustainment support, engineering support, test and evaluation support, and program and administration support. Proposed support services may be accepted in whole or in part. Two to four (2-4) production representative test articles and a proposed training package must be available within ten (10) days of contract award. An additional fifty systems are to be delivered within five months of contract award. The contract will contain options to procure an additional 300-500 LRF systems per year in FY04, FY05, FY06, and FY07. The contract will also contain options for a Night Vision System (NVS) with mount (if necessary) in identical quantities to the LRF systems. The proposed LRF system must meet the following critical performance specifications: (a) Compatible with AN-PSN-11(v)1 EPLGR (RS-232 Interface) and PLGR+96 software targeting module; (b) Night Vision compatible; (c) Class 1 (Navy) Eye safe; and (d) Direct view optics with reticle. Very important performance specifications include: (a) Range Capability: 10 Km on a 2.3 m X 2.3 m NATO standard target; (b) Range Accuracy: ?10 m; (c) During daylight conditions, Target Location Error (TLE) no greater than 50 m CEP at a distance of 4 Km and no greater than 200 m CEP at a distance of 10 Km for a 2.3 m X 2.3 m NATO standard target.; (d) Target recognition @ 1000 M through Night Vision System; (e) powered by batteries common to the Marine Corps inventory; (f) Day Optics Identification of a 2.3 m X 2.3 m NATO standard target at 3000 M; (g) Level of optical protection; (h) battery life; (i) operational suitability (NBC, environmental, submersion and any other MIL-STD-810 tests); and (j) False OT distance prevention (first/last return logic/range gating/multi-target indicator). Additional specifications will include (a) Weight of Rangefinder, Battery, and Strap (< 6 lbs); (b) field of view and magnification similar to M22 Binoculars; (c) human factors; (d) set-up time; and (e) upgradeable. Testing requirements will include: (a) Naval Laser Safety Review Board (LSRB) certification as Class 1 laser; (b) CLRF and EPLGR interface evaluation; (c) Battery safety certification; and (d) Limited User Tests (LUT). Provide any supporting product performance, test data, or other empirical evidence for your proposed system. Safety data, or other information deemed pertinent to the performance and operation of the product should be provided. Cost proposals shall be structured using the Schedule of Supplies or Services contained in the solicitation with any supporting documentation you wish to be considered by the evaluation board. The Cost Proposal must clearly detail the life cycle costs associated with the sustainment/support plan provided under the Technical portion of the proposal. The address for delivery of the systems is Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany, Georgia. The systems shall be FOB destination. The resultant contract will have a DPAS rating of DO-A5. The significant evaluation factors are shown in descending order of importance: (i) Technical capability to meet the Government Requirement to include the following subfactors: (i.a.) Product Performance; (i.b.) Support Services; and (i.c.) Production Capacity/Schedule; (ii) Price; (iii) Past Performance; and (iv) Small disadvantaged business participation.
