Measurement Equipment for signal Jamming: TESt Lane Analysis Mobile

Korte beschrijving

The contracting authority invites you to submit a tender for a measurement system named TESt Lane Analysis Mobile (in accordance with the open procedure under the Netherlands Public Procurement Act).
The purpose of this tender is delivery and installation of a measurement system (which has the ability to validate jammers) named TESt Lane Analysis Mobile (TESLA-M) into a vehicle (a van delivered as government furnished equipment), with a performance based contract. The desired life- and servicespan of TESLA-M is 9,5 years.
This tender was previously published but is republished due to, amongs other things, a changed delivery time. The previously published tender documents are outdated. You can download the new and applicable invitation to tender (ITT) and the annexes under ‘Vragenlijsten’ (‘questionnaires’). The changes made in the documents are highlighted yellow.

Scope
The scope of this project is the delivery and installation of a measurement system named TESLA-M with a performance based contract. The supplier must deliver and install measurement equipment including a workplace and other components described in the POR into a vehicle (a van delivered as government furnished equipment). The entire system must have the ability to validate RC-IED jammers now and in the future. The desired life- and service span of the vehicle is 9,5 years in which the supplier is responsible for an Operational availability of 85 %.
Purpose of the project TESLA-M
To protect its personnel the NL-MOD uses radio frequency jammers on its vehicles to prevent activation signals from reaching a Radio controlled improvised explosive device (RC-IED).
To make sure that we use the correct frequency range at a certain place and time, we need to gain insight into the propagation path of electromagnetic signals, with the aim of using this data to provide the best possible countermeasure against an RC-IED. Therefore an operational file (which amongst others contains frequencies and its settings) in a jammer system will be tested with the measurement equipment of the TESLA-M to determine if and how a jammer functions and if the RC-IED is prevented from being detonated.
By procuring the TESLA-M we will enable and support the activities for optimizing and verifying the effectiveness of an operational file for counter RC-IED purposes. In this process, activities must be recorded and secured automatically as much as possible. The measurement equipment needed to perform the tests are a real time spectrum analyzer, IQ-recorder, signal generator, etc.
The testing and validation of the jammer configurations is carried out under peace conditions, often on military sites in the Netherlands or abroad. In exceptional cases it can be used to support national (non-Defence) units in the event of an emergency.
It must also be able to remotely control the mobile measurement configuration in the TESLA-M and access the test results remotely. It must be able to create a lab environment by connecting the TESLA-M to a local network cable and a private laptop in a building. A LAN cable – which feeds information from the TESLA-M to the physical on-site building – should be installable inside the junction box on the outside of the vehicle.
Delivery
The supplier is asked to deliver a ready for use TESLA-M within the delivery time of 6 months in compliance with all the requirements. Beside the TESLA-M, the delivery entails: delivery of spare parts and components, delivery of required documentation and delivery of training materials and the training course.
The vehicle into which the TESLA-M equipment must be installed, will be delivered by the contracting authority to the supplier.
Operational availability
The supplier is asked to deliver the TESLA-M with an operational availability of 85 % including maintenance and obsolescence management of spares and system parts, etc. for the duration of 9,5 years after the delivery and acceptance of the ready for use TESLA-M. The supplier will also cooperate with a possible request performing modification maintenance on the TESLA-M.
Options
Possibility of the delivery and integration of options in the TESLA-M system, and also including these options in the operational availability.
