- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. Simplified procedures as described in FAR 13.5 will be used for acquisition of these commercial items. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. The reference document number for this is 1300000860. The incorporated document, provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-24 and Defense Acquisition Circular 20080303. The applicable NAICS code is 334220. This equipment will be procured on a brand name or equal basis. The SATCOM AMP system must meet the following characteristics in a single unit: DAMA certified UHF SATCOM transmit power amplifier and receiver preamplifier; must be six inches high by eight inches wide by fourteen inches deep; must not exceed a weight of fifteen pounds; must meet Environmental Requirement MIL-STD-810E, Method 501.3, Procedure II, Method 502.3, Procedure II, Method 507.3, Procedure I, Method 512.3, Section I, Procedure I, Category 3 for vibration, and Method 516.4, Procedure IV; minimum transmit output power of 100 watts throughout the UHF SATCOM uplink frequency band; adjustable power output in at least three increments, from 20 to 25 watts at the low end, up to full power; output power control shall be provided externally, and not require use of tools; designed to minimize co-site interference; transmit filtering that reduces out of band RF signals by at least 70db; the amplifier packaging shall be appropriate to protect the electronics in a tactical environment; it must be rugged and weatherproof; packaged to permit installation and operation near a uni-directional or omni-directional SATCOM antenna in a variety of vehicular, shelter, transit case, and ground applications, where it may be partially covered in standing water; certified for use with AN/PSC-5 Motorola LST-5D and AN/PRC-117 transceivers; and interchangeable with the current SATCOM AMP to minimize refurbishment and logistical costs. These characteristics are required to meet form, fit, and function of the currently fielded systems. Any deviation from the current infrastructure could jeopardize current operations. The purchase of any other SATCOM amplifiers would result in a significant duplication of costs to the government to modify the current design, recreate baseline drawings, testing and validation costs, operator and maintenance training costs, in addition to the logistical costs of managing two different systems. The contract line item numbers and descriptions are: **CLIN 0001 - Bias T (Talla-Com P/N 15370, or equal) (12 ea); CLIN 0002 - SATCOM Amplifier (Talla-Com P/N 15300, Tactical Support Equipment P/N TSE-AM-SAT-100D, or equal) (12ea); CLIN 0003 - Shipping (if any).
