Operation and maintenance support services

The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk, Philadelphia Office intends to solicit on behalf of Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Atlantic (NCTAMS LANT).
The mission of the Naval Radio Transmitter Facility is to provide telecommunications support for the Atlantic Submarine Fleet via the Fixed Submarine Broadcast System (FSBS) at Naval Radio Transmitter Facility Aguada as well as providing support to the U.S. Air Force with the operation and maintenance of the High Frequency Global Communication Systems (HFGCS).
Services are needed to operate and maintain the Low Frequency (LF) Fixed Submarine Broadcast Systems (FSBS) at Naval Radio Transmitter Facility (NRTF) Aguada, Puerto Rico on a 24 hours per day, seven days per week, 365 days per year (including the additional day for leap year).
The AN/FRT-95 (series) transmitter and associated antennas, hardware, equipment, and facilities at NRTF Aguada, Puerto Rico constitutes an operational LF FSBS transmitter facility providing strategic and tactical Atlantic Ocean LF support. The site consists of one Top Hat Monopole 1200’ base insulated antenna, one transmitter building housing one LF transmitter, and one helix building housing all antenna tuning components.
Services will include transmitter activation/deactivation, transmission monitoring, operating utility and emergency power systems, maintain logs and records, maintaining site cables, cross-connects, and cable records, circuit configuration, circuit troubleshooting, equipment preventative and corrective maintenance, and reporting outages, maintenance and minor repair of buildings fences, and security systems, vegetation control, and minor plumbing repair.
LF antenna maintenance will include preventative maintenance and inspection of the LF antenna and antenna systems including the antenna tower and all associated antenna tower guy wires, coaxial cables, tower aircraft lighting system, elevator, access ladder, LF helix, and antenna dummy load.
The FSBS at the Naval Radio Transmitter Facility Aguada is a shore based transmitter that communicates messages to submarines operating in a stealth posture. The transmitter located at Aguada provides Emergency Action Messages (EAM) relay points connecting the communication paths. The uniqueness of the acquired telecommunications services involves operation and maintenance of communications equipment that are peculiar to the U.S.
Military.
The period of performance for this follow-on procurement will have a base period from 01 September 2018 to 31 August 2019, with four one-year option periods from 01 September 2019 to 31 August 2023.
