- Description
- This announcement will be used as a market research tool. The government is in the position to research commercially available inertial navigation units (INU) for possible future acquisitions. A general description of the required item is as follows: the INU would function as an inertial reference system and land navigator for a variety of military systems in support of the Soldier. This inertial navigation platform would be required to interact with an array of previously established system components with no decrease in current operating capabilities. The potential systems range from basic personnel carriers to complex weapons and/or sensing platforms with a varying degree of sensitivity and accuracy requirements. A single INU design need not be able to perform with every system so multiple versions would be acceptable. Minor modifications for missionization would be also expected. No Government-owned interface control document (ICD) is currently available. Any information that is provided and/or potentially developed by any prospective supplier would remain proprietary unless/until rights are purchased by the Government. The system(s) will be required to meet space constraints, environmental, functional, operational, functional and interface requirements of the platform's) they support without degrading individual system performance both on a stand-alone basis and in concert with other systems with which that system supports while the other systems are using other contractors units. The purpose of this notice is to identify and establish initial interest and points of contact from private industry. This information may be used to design acquisition strategy to include socioeconomic program support. It may also help to identify and establish commercial practices available to the government. All responses to this notice should include the following: Company Name, Point of Contact, Address, Telephone and Fax Numbers, E-mail address, Brief Description of Company/Capabilities, Experience areas, History, DUNS Number, CAGE Code and/or Tax ID Number, as well as Size Category (Large/Small Disadvantage, etc).
