INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE JRE LAPTOPS

The Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center San Diego (NAVSUP FLCSD) intends to procure twelve Joint Range Extension (JRE) laptops to support Strike Group Air and Missile Defense Commanders. The JRE laptops will provide a combat-proven Tactical Data Link (TDL) router for real-time battlespace visualization. The laptops will come with one year of help desk support. The mission of the Air and Missile Defense Commander's (AMDC) and Primary Alternates is to conduct sustained combat operations independently and as the Integrated Air and Missile Defense Commander for Carrier Strike Group One. • The JRE laptops will be used to provide visual, text, and digital commands over multiple Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) networks with very low latency. • The JRE is highly platform-independent and can function as a software-only gateway solution or run on a selection of provided imaged hardware platforms that are cybersecurity tested and approved. • The purchase is mission essential and will improve the capability to complete tasking as AMDC for USS Carl Vinson and USS Theodore Roosevelt Strike Groups units. • SAIC is the original software designer and manufacturer of the system and has proprietary rights to the JRE software and technical/intellectual design.
