Description: NA Recent operational experience has demonstrated that Army watercraft do not possess the capabilities to seamlessly integrate its logistical requirements. This capability shortfall puts the burden on the vessel crew to manually log their inventory, requisit ion supplies, track completed maintenance actions, and record projected logistics requirements. This paperwork detracts from the available maintenance crew time and contributes to overall performance delays. Army watercraft must possess the capability to automatically monitor and manage all mission critical on-board systems. To that end the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command is seeking sources to identify a monitoring, management and audible alarm notification system for our developing Telel ogistics Program. This Program requires an open architecture system that can provide integrated watercraft systems management, support of logistical functions such as inventory management and supply requisitions, tracking and prioritization of maintenance , machinery history, vessel modifications, and fuel management. It will need to include interface capability with Interactive Electronic Manuals (IETMs) to support interactive equipment troubleshooting, monitoring of on-board systems with an audible notif ication to enable condition based maintenance, prognostic/diagnostic capabilities, and enhance vessel situational awareness. These technologies are to be integrated into a single on-board maintenance management system providing automation interface with t he Standard Army Management Information Systems (STAMIS), and The Army Maintenance Management Systems (TAMMS) as pertains to Army watercraft, as a minimum. Additionally, the system must show a balance of focus on both the current and future watercraft req uirements. It must consider complete vessel systems integration to include voyage management, administrative/personnel functions and on-board communications systems. All information systems (engineering, navigation, personnel, etc.) on-board Army watercr aft will need to be fully integrated utilizing a Ship Wide Area Network (SWAN). This is required to enable seamless oversight, information sharing, information warehousing, and allow watercraft crews to effectively and efficiently monitor, maintain, troub leshoot, and sustain the Army?s watercraft fleet of LSV's (7 ea.), LCU's (35 ea.) and Large Tugs (6 ea.) in all environments, including joint operations. The following information is also requested: (1) Has your company done work with the Government before? If so, provide a listing of those programs with an explanation of what you provided. If you have provided a similar product to the commercial industry an explanation of what was provided and to wh om it was provided is desired. Were you the prime contractor? The subcontractor? (2) Have you provided any telecommunications system to commercial or Government agencies for Watercraft? (3) Identify the Company name, point of contact, address, telephone, and e-mail address (if available). (4) Are you a small business, large business, and/or do you have set-aside status of any kind? (5) Are you registered in the CCR? The response to this request may be submitted in any form or format, including the company's standard literature. Price data is desirable. Proprietary information submitted will be protected when so designated. The sources sought announcement is not to be construed as a commitment by TACOM to issue a formal solicitation, nor award a contract, nor is it a Request for Proposal. TACOM is not responsible for reimbursement of any costs connected with providing any information requested herein. Potential/interested sources should send the requested information to the following: Commander, U.S. Army TACOM, ATTN: AMSTA-LC-CJEB, Mail Stop 231 (Toni Spalding, Contract Specialist), 6501 East 11 Mile Road, Warren, MI 48397-5000, or through e-mail to th e Contract Specialist, within 30-days of the date of publication of this notice.
