This effort includes hardware, software, and training to maintain and operate the system. (See attached Combined Synopsis/Solicitation) In order to maintain long haul high frequency (HF) communications aboard certain classes of cutters, the United States Coast Guard has a requirement to replace HF radio transceiver systems that are at end of life.� The age of the systems, lack of availability of spare parts and inability repair key subcomponents makes continuing support and maintaining operational availabilities infeasible. This replacement effort requires a commercially available HF radio system comprised of various numbers of HF transceivers, receivers, remote control units (RCU), high power amplifiers, medium power amplifiers, low power amplifiers, antenna tuning units, and power supplies, where exact quantities depend on the operational requirements of the unit class. Submission of Information: Interested parties are encouraged to submit any comments or questions in relation to the DRFP.

A �commented� version of the DRAFT combined synopsis/solicitation or any of its attachments may be submitted as part of your response, if applicable.� Pay close attention to �threshold� requirements.� Threshold requirements may be treated as �go/no-go� or �pass/fail� evaluation factor in the future solicitation.� Please identify all concerns with the specifications. In addition, pay close attention to the evaluation criteria and terms and conditions of the DRFP. Identify any concerns. The Government anticipates posting a response to all questions either on this posting or with the official RFP.
