- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared inaccordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additionalinformation included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the onlysolicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for ten (10) each "Ka-bandover Fiber" systems for antenna remoting of a Ka-band satellite communication systems.Traditionally coax or waveguide is used to carry Microwave (Ka-band) signals betweensubsystems in a communication system. This project has a 1000' requirement between theindoor equipment and the ground station antenna located outside. The 1000' requirementprohibits the use of coax or waveguide at Ka-band frequencies.Possible solutionsinclude up/down conversion to a much lower Intermediate Frequency (IF) such as 1.2-GHz,or the use of a Ka-band-Over-Fiber system. The primary application is carrying signals in the 22.55 to 23.55 GHz and 25.25 to 27.5GHz frequency bands. The signals used shall be limited in bandwidth to less than or equalto 650-MHz and may be located anywhere within the above two frequency bands. Secondaryuses include using this system at other frequencies. For example: L-band, S-band,Ku-band, or other higher Ka-band frequency bands.MINIMUM TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: RF Input Power specification to be as low as possible,and the Spurious Free Dynamic Range needs to be a larger value to allow for margin. Delivery: Shall be delivered within 12-weeks ARO.ELECTRICAL / OPTICAL OVERALL LINK PERFORMANCE:Frequency Range: 0.05 MHz to 40 GHz, RFInput Power: 0 dBm to +25 dBm, Input P1dB greater than or less than +28 dBm, 2ndHarmonic: less than -45 dBc, Spurious Free Dynamic Range: greater than 105 dB/Hz, RFReturn Loss: greater than 10 dB (less than 1.9:1 VSWR), Gain Flatness:plus or minus0.75 dB over any 650 MHz bandwidth between 22.55 GHz and 27.5 GHz, Gain Slope: less than0.2 dB / 10 MHz.CONNECTORS/CABLES: Optical Connector Type: FC/APC, Fiber Cable Compatibility - SingleMode Fiber, Fiber Length: less than 1 Km, RF Connector Type: 2.92-mm ("K") female, RFConnector Impedance: 50-Ohm.ENVIRONMENT: Operating Temperature: -40degreesC to +70degrees C, Storage Temperature: -40degreesC to +70degreesC.Power Consumption: less than 30W per receiver, less than 30W per transmitter.The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 2005-38.The NAICS Code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 334220 and750 employees respectively. The offeror shall state in their offer their size status forthis procurement.All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.Delivery to NASA GRC, Attn: Receiving BLDG 21 North, 21000 Brookpark RD, Cleveland OH 44135 is required within 84 days ARO. Delivery shall be FOB Destination.Offers for the items(s) described above are due by midnight on 01/10/2010 to NASA GRC,ATTN: Bernadette Kan, MS 500-305, 21000 Brookpark RD, Cleveland OH 44135 and mustinclude, solicitation number, FOB destination to this Center, proposed delivery schedule,discount/payment terms, warranty duration (if applicable), taxpayer identification number(TIN), identification of any special commercial terms, and be signed by an authorizedcompany representative.
