- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This is a solicitation for the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Aircraft Operations Center (AOC), MacDill AFB, Tampa, FL., which is being issued for the purpose of acquiring HIGH ALTITUDE RADAR ALTIMETERS. This combined synopsis notice constitutes the only Request For Proposal (RFP) and a written RFP will not be issued. This notice is hereby issued as RFP No. NAAN6000601311RFA. This is an unrestricted solicitation with full and open competition. This RFP and the incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-09. Signed and dated proposals must be submitted to the U. S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Central Region Acquisition Division, Attn: Ron Anielak, 601 East 12th Street, Rm.1756, Kansas City, Missouri 64106. Proposals must be received on or before 2:00 p.m. May 22, 2006. Proposals may be faxed to 816-274-6993 - Attn: Ron Anielak/ NAAN6000601311RFA. Offeror?s sending a proposal via fax must follow up with one (1) originally signed proposal and two (2) additional copies in the mail postmarked no later than May 22, 2006. A. Statement of Work / Specifications A.1. Introduction: The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Aircraft Operations Center (AOC), MacDill AFB, Florida, operates a fleet of four heavy aircraft, all of which require a high altitude radar altimeter system to complete mission requirements. A.2. Requirements: This acquisition is for a replacement radar altimeter system which meets the following minimum requirements: Honeywell International, Model HG9550 LPI Radar Altimeter, model No.HG9550AD01 or equal with the following salient characteristics: a)Unit must be an off the shelf, current production model, commercial item of modern low weight and low power design, high accuracy, qualified for use in US military aircraft. This requirement is driven by the extreme turbulence encountered by the NOAA/AOC WP-3 aircraft during a number of mission profiles, including Hurricane research. b)Light weight less than 10 pounds c)Unit must be completely compatible and interface to a current production radar height indicator capable of displaying altitude from 0 ft up to 50,000 ft. NOAA/AOC has an existing inventory of at least 7 high altitude radar height indicators, Moog model 85000000-02. d)Unit must be plug and play compatible with the existing NOAA/AOC APN-232 radar altimeter receiver transmitter. Due to the high cost of aircraft modification, only units which are compatible with the existing radar altimeter wiring and mounts will be considered. e)Unit must be a ?low power? radar altimeter, with a peak transmit power not to exceed 1 watt. This requirement is needed because the NOAA/AOC aircraft operate with a wide variety of sensitive research equipment onboard, the operation of which may be degraded by an unnecessarily strong signal transmitted by the radar altimeter. f)The unit shall operate in a frequency band allocated by the FCC for aeronautical radio navigation. Minimum transmit frequency shall be 4.2 GHz. NOAA/AOC aircraft operate with a wide variety of sensitive equipment on board, and the higher the radar altimeter transmit frequency, the less likely there will be conflicts with research instrumentation. g)The unit shall operate with a minimum band width, not to exceed 200MHZ. NOAA/AOC aircraft operate with a wide variety of sensitive equipment on board, and the narrower the radar altimeter bandwidth, the less likely there will be conflicts with research instrumentation. A.3. Required Delivery Date: Item 01 ? 10 months after receipt of order; Item 02 - option item shall be exercised within 180 calendar days from contract award and be required for delivery no later than 10 months after Government?s exercise of option. B. Evaluation: The evaluation of proposals shall be based on the Offeror?s responsiveness to the items and requirements listed in Section A and Offeror?s price proposal.
