Description: This synopsis is being posted to both the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at http://www.fbo.gov and the Navy Electronic Commerce Online (NECO) site located at http://www.neco.navy.mil. While it is understood the FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the internet, NECO is the alternative in case FBO is unavailable. Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by the Navy Sea Systems Command. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division intends to procure a quantity of fifteen (15) GPS receivers suitable for use as an embedded navigator in an 81 millimeter (mm) mortar in a technology demonstration program. Table 1 includes the list of minimum requirements. The evaluation factors are listed in order importance: Technical, Past Performance, and Cost. Size The GPS receiver shall fit within a 46 mm diameter circle, with an objective height of 15 mm (larger heights will be considered). Shock This receiver is intended for use in an 81 mm mortar application. The mortar is explosively propelled from the launch tube and experiences a severe śsetback ť environment of up to 10,000 Gs for a brief duration (approx 10 milliseconds). After launch, the accelerations are small due to the modest control surfaces acting to guide the round to the target. Note: maximum altitude and velocity during the technology demonstration are expected to be below the COCOM (Combatant Command) export restrictions for commercial receivers of 18 km and 515 m/sec. Time to Usable Navigation (TTUN) The śtime to usable navigation ť is defined as the maximum expected time between application of valid power and output of navigation data within specified accuracy. Fast Initialization For the technology demonstration it is expected that the GPS receiver will be powered and navigating prior to launch. It is not a requirement to navigate through the launch event (acceleration is extreme and antennas will be briefly masked (for less than 1 second)). In the tactical use, the mortar (and receiver) will be provided with initialization data consisting of satellite broadcast data, cryptographic keys, time of day and a 10 pulse per second frequency reference for oscillator calibration. Initialization will be maintained in data hold for up to five minutes prior to launch. It is desirable to be in a low-power state during the data hold period. The receiver shall be capable of performing direct (Y) acquisition following launch. Past performance Past performance of the vendor and of the product will be considered. P(Y) data from previous flight tests shall be provided. If none is available for the specific product, P(Y) flight test data from other products in the same family shall be provided. Other considerations It is beneficial to the 81mm mortar effort if a path from technology demonstration to objective tactical use is defined. For that reason, secondary consideration will be given to receivers that currently have or are planned to have the following: L2 capability, P(Y) capability, M-Code capability, Direction Finding capability, Uplink capability, trajectory aiding capability, anti-jam protection, severe electromagnetic environment survivability, dedicated onboard processor for user apps (preferably compatible with commercially available support tools), output of pre-PVT (Position, Velocity, Time) data (e.g. pseudo range). Peripheral Support Additional consideration will be given to vendors who provide documentation of peripheral support in the following areas: Vendor can supply developed interface and diagnostic software Vendor can supply a user interface kit Vendor can supply user and technical manuals Vendor can supply technical assistance to aid in the integration of the vendor ™s receivers into specific test platforms. The vendor shall provide the cost per unit, the cost for a week of technical support (at Dahlgren if necessary), delivery time after receipt of order, and the part number. The vendor shall also include the cost of purchasing and/or loaning a quantity of two (2) interface/evaluation kits, if applicable. The response shall adhere to a five (5) page submission limit, plus any commercial marketing information, brochures, or web links. These items will be acquired utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The closing date is 10:00 AM ET on 20 AUGUST 2010. The anticipated award date is 27 AUGUST 2010. All items are to be priced FOB-Destination, Dahlgren, VA. THE GOVERNEMENT WILL NOT ISSUE A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS AS ALL ITEMS ARE IDENTIFIED ON THIS NOTICE. Electronic quote submission is encouraged at kelley.fitzsimmons@navy.mil but the quote may also be faxed to (540) 653-7088. Questions may be submitted to kelley.fitzsimmons@navy.mil or faxed to (540) 653-7088; Telephone#: (540) 653-7605. Please reference RFQ N00178-10-Q-1581 on any correspondence. NSWCDD Procurement Division has implemented Electronic Commerce (EC) in the acquisition area; therefore, this synopsis and any applicable amendments will be available on the World Wide Web at: http://www.nswc.navy.mil/supply. Hard copies WILL NOT be provided. Vendors should regularly access the NSWCDD Web Site to ensure that they have downloaded all amendments.
