70 -- Trakker Model 9000 to 9001 Upgrade

The 1st Special Operations Contracting Squadron at Hurlburt Field FL intends to award a Sole Source purchase order to L-3 Communications, Titan Group to perform upgrade services to convert 12 L-3 model Trakker 9000 units to Trakker 9001 units. The purchase will also include 2 Trakker flashing cables for loading software, and 12 Trakker configuration cables. The 9001 Trakker upgrade will provide the ability to track and identify SOF and CSAR forces in real-time where national system data is unavailable. The Trakker pushes blue force tracking information to a world-wide distribution system (Iridium). The Trakkers require a software update enabling the devices to databurst this information in a way that adds protection to the signal and reduces the cost for AFSOC Iridium usage time. Additionally, accessories are required to make the Trakker usable on AFSOC aircraft.
