February 5, 2009 This document – Mobile Surveillance Capabilities Matrix (MSCM) – identifies the range of capabilities required by this solicitation. This table includes columns defined as follows.

· “Subfactor” to describe the capability category (grouping of similar capabilities).

· “MSC System Capability” to describe a capability that the acceptable system will provide or possess.

· “Parameter” to describe the specific standards and conditions the capability will be evaluated against.

· “Threshold Acceptable Value” to describe the minimum level of the capability’s parameters acceptable for system deployment and operations. Any Offeror’s offered solution (proposal) failing to meet any single threshold acceptable value will not be considered, which means that proposal will be rejected.

· “Nominal Desired Value (Objective),” to describe the desired (at a minimum) level of the capability’s parameters for enhanced system deployment and operations.

· “Offeror Cross Reference” reserved for offerors to provide in submittals reference to where in proposal the information can be found.

The Capabilities Matrix includes terms defined as follows:

Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM)

Ease of use

Offeror may propose to provide a suitable work space enclosure within Offeror’s MSC product. If so, the Offeror’s solution must facilitate the integration of a GFE Motorola Astro® Spectra™ or Astro® XLT™ 5000 LMR and associated antenna operating at 25 to 110 Watts transmitter power and at 136-174 MHz, and must supply electrical power and physical mounting provisions for that LMR.

Alternately, offeror may propose to integrate a suitable work space within the cabin of a GFE truck that the Government will procure under GSA schedule. The GFE truck will be of the grade generally known as Ford F-450 or GMC C4500, or equivalent. Note: Offeror is advised that CBP cannot guarantee a particular brand/manufacturer of truck, only this particular grade. If the offeror chooses to integrate a suitable work space within the cabin of a GFE truck, the offeror may not rely on the GFE truck’s engine as a source of power for MSC operation. The Offeror’s solution must supply heat, cooling, and electrical power to the operator’s work space consistent with the needs of the MSC mission and environment. Additionally, the Offeror’s solution must supply electrical power to the LMR. When stowed, the Offeror’s solution may not prohibit the normal use and driving of the truck. The Offeror’s integrated solution may use the area behind the driver and passenger seats, and may use the passenger’s seat, including re-mounting the passenger seat facing rearward so as to face Offeror’s workstation equipment and displays. The integrated solution must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those for motor vehicles operated on US Highways.

Operator’s work space has good ergonomics including seating suitable for working an eight to twelve hour shift at the operator workstation.

Operator’s work space provides physical enclosure, cooling, heating, and lighting suitable for working an eight to twelve hour shift at operator workstation within the ambient outdoor conditions described in the document Mobile Surveillance Capabilities – Environmental Objectives (MSCEO).

Operator’s work space provides any/all window shading or tinting necessary to ensure visibility of computer displays when external sunlight is bright and intense as described in the document Mobile Surveillance Capabilities – Environmental Objectives (MSCEO).

Operator’s work space does not draw electrical power or heat or cooling from GFE assets

Operator’s work space provides ready access (access without operator leaving his/her seat) to a GFE Motorola Astro® Spectra™ or Astro® XLT™ 5000 Land Mobile Radio (LMR) operating at 25 to 110 Watts transmitter power and at 136-174 MHz.

Note: Offeror is advised that CBP cannot guarantee a particular brand/manufacturer of truck, only this particular grade of truck.

Offeror to propose solution and any metrics appropriate for their solution.

Offeror may propose to provide an MSC that is towable by this grade of GFE truck. If so, the integrated solution must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those for motor vehicles operated on US Highways. This includes provisions for braking assistance and tail lights and signal lights as required by the Offeror’s solution based on its size and weight. If Offeror’s solution is capable of being towed by a lighter grade of truck, please advise, but Offeror’s solution is required to be compatible with the stated grade of GFE truck.

Alternately, offeror may propose to integrate Offeror’s solution onto a GFE truck of the stated grade. If Offeror’s solution is capable of being carried by a lighter grade of truck, please advise, but Offeror’s solution is required to be compatible with the stated grade of GFE truck. If offeror chooses to propose to integrate Offeror’s solution with a GFE truck, offeror is to assume that the truck will be purchased without a bed, and the offeror is to provide and integrate a truck bed if appropriate to their solution, or otherwise to mount Offeror’s solution directly to the truck frame (without bed). The integrated solution must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those for motor vehicles operated on US Highways.

If offeror chooses to propose a solution mounted on an all-terrain-vehicle or other off-road-only vehicle, offeror nevertheless must supply their solution with provisions for towing behind or carrying upon the stated grade of GFE truck in a manner compliant with all applicable laws and regulations, including those for motor vehicles operated on US Highways.
