- Description
- NASA/GSFC plans to issue a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for the followingCommercial item: Quantity of 1 Integrated S-Band (2700-2900 Mhz) dual-polarized antennasystem. The antenna system shall consist of a parabolic reflector, dual-polarized feedhorn, pedestal, drive motors, and servo-amplifiers. The system shall be capable ofemitting and receiving both horizontal and vertical linearly polarized RF energy. Theantenna system will be used as an integrated component of a transportable meteorologicalresearch radar, and all of the components, except the pedestal, shall be constructed sothat they may be shipped in standard ISO seatainers with outside dimensions of either2.44m x 2.44m x 6.1m (8' x 8' x 20') or 2.44m x 2.44m x 12.2m (8' x 8' 40'). The primaryobjective of the radar system is to collect meteorological research quality reflectivity,Doppler and polarimetric data at various locations in the world. The antenna systemshall be capable of handling up to 1.0 megawatts peak pulsed power with pulse widths upto 2 microseconds and pulse recurrence frequencies up to 1200 pulses per second. Theantenna will be scanned in the azimuth and elevation planes; it will not be used forclosed loop tracking. The antenna-pedestal system will be designed to operate without aradome under wind, acceleration and environmental conditions as specified in theStatement of Work. A high performance antenna is required for accurate measurements ofdual-polarimetric quantities. The electrical specifications of th feed/OMT, reflectorsurface accuracy and secondary patterns are hence stringent as specified in the Statementof Work. The Government will require a preliminary design review (PDR), a final designreview (FDR), and range testing at which time the contractor will certify that allspecifications have been met. Full acceptance by the Government will occur aftercontractor installs the antenna on the pedestal with precision alignment and demonstratesthat the reflector surface accuracy satisfied &lt; 0.02" rms.The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 334511 and 750, respectively.The anticipated release date of RFQ NNG08258756Q is on or about 09/17/2008 with ananticipated due date of on or about 10/17/2008.All responsible sources may submit a Request for Quotation which shall be considered bythe agency.An ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B".James A. Balinskas, Director of Contract Management Division and may be contacted at202-358-0445 or email address:james.a.balinskas@nasa.gov.The solicitation and any documents related to this procurement will be not be availableover the Internet. These documents will be mailed to the Potential Quoters upon request. Prospective offerors shall notify this office of their request for a copy of the RFQ. Itis the offeror's responsibility to monitor the Internet site for the release amendmentsto this notice(if any).All contractual and technical questions must be submitted in writing (e-mail or FAX) toDiana W. Frimmel, Code 210.W, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, Wallops Flight Facility,Wallops Island, VA 23337 not later than 9/11/2008. Telephone questions will not beaccepted.
