1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Scope

The scope of this requirement is for contractor initial site inspection and assessment followed by future procurement, installation, testing and crew training of communication equipment under Foreign Military Sales Letter of Offer and Acceptance Case Number ZB-P-LEC in support of the country of El Salvador.

The primary function of the subject communication equipment is to facilitate land-to-sea tactical communications from the five (5) small operational bases identified in Appendix B, utilizing standard marine band radio frequencies.

The table below outlines the core operational requirements, transmission modes, and target vessel profiles for this equipment deployment:

Parameter Operational Specification Primary Mission Land-to-sea tactical voice communications (unclassified/non-secure) Operating Locations Five (5) designated operational bases (detailed in Appendix B) Transmission Mode Voice-only (No data transmission capabilities required) Primary Frequency Band Marine Band Target Vessel Profiles All local maritime transits and Partner Nation’s fleet of small boats (ranging from 25 to 36 feet)

Packaging, packing, preservations, and markings in preparation for Defense Transportation System pick up is required.

1.2 Background

The FMS program is part of security assistance authorized by the Arms Export Control Act (AECA). It is a fundamental United States (U.S.) foreign policy tool. Under § 3 of the AECA (classified to 22 U.S.C. § 2753), the U.S. may sell defense articles and services to foreign countries and international organizations when the president formally finds that to do so will strengthen the security of the U.S. and promote world peace. This program is conducted through formal agreements between the U.S. Government (USG) and an authorized foreign purchaser. These formal agreements are a mutually signed Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA).

Provision of these items will help the recipient county’s maritime safety and security services to maintain and expand capacity to protect territorial waters, enhance maritime domain awareness, and build interoperable regional maritime security between other regional partners and the U.S.

Appendix B Summary of Locations

There are five (5) locations along the coast of El Salvador. Each site was evaluated for office space, climate control, power supply, and available real estate for tower installation. Overall, each location had a designated office space with adequate climate control and power supply.

Two (2) of the sites have existing towers that are suitable for use. Two (2) sites have towers with missing upper sections, and one (1) site does not have sufficient real estate for a tower.

Individual site conditions are listed below.

Location #1: Capitania

Capitania has an existing tower approximately 20’ in height that is currently being used for mounting a VHF antenna. The tower is missing the upper portion of its structure. It is positioned approximately 30’ from the office, allowing for feasible cable route between the structures. The Contractor providing this equipment must confirm this height and distance is adequate for this location if the tower does not get replaced. The location of the VHF antenna provides adequate range. The current location of the existing VHF marine band radio is in a climate-controlled office space with available power supply. The Contractor must verify and propose the recommended height for the proposed HF antenna for this location. There is limited space available to construct a 60’-80’ tower.

Existing tower and foundation:

Location #2: Concordia

Concordia has an existing tower approximately 30’ in height that is currently being used for mounting a VHF antenna. The tower is missing the upper portion of its structure. It is positioned approximately 20’ from the office, allowing for feasible cable routes between the structures. The Contractor providing this equipment must confirm this height and distance is adequate for this location if the tower does not get replaced. There is a VHF antenna currently mounted and provides adequate range. The current location of the existing VHF marine band radio is in a climate-controlled office space with available power supply. The Contractor must verify and propose the recommended height for the proposed HF antenna for this location. There is limited space available to construct a 60’-80’ tower.

Existing tower:

Existing foundation:

Location #3: Triunfo

Triunfo has an existing tower approximately 50’ in height that appears in good condition. There is a second tower, approximately 80’ in height, that belongs to the Armada adjacent to the office which can be used to mount antennas. A tower is not required for this location. Both towers are positioned approximately 20’ from the climate-controlled office, allowing feasible cable routes to whichever tower is used by the Contractor.

Existing Towers:

Location #4: Acajutla

Acajutla has an existing tower approximately 80’ in height that belongs to the Armada adjacent to the office and currently has VHF and Harris 5800 antenna mounted. The tower is positioned approximately 70’ from the office, allowing feasible cable routes.

Existing Tower:

Location #5: La Liberta

La Liberta has no existing towers at this location, and minimal-to-no real estate is available to install a tower. The only appropriate location found was on the roof of the one-story building.

This facility is located directly on the coast with minimal structural interference towards the ocean. There are two (2) locations that can be used as a comms space. Both spaces will allow feasible cable routes to the roof.

Office Rooftop:
