- Description
- 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, which is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ); quotes are beingrequested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Government intends toacquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures setforth in FAR Part 13. This procurement is not set aside for small business. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for the item(s) shownbelow.Please see the Solicitation Instructions that follow the specification portion ofthis solicitation. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS (XMC Modules for the Data Link Sub-Component):The Data Link subsystem is responsible for performing high rate data communication tasks(max rates of 1.2 Gbit/sec sustained). The system is responsible for both framing,de-framing, encoding, decoding, and other minor tasks needed to lock to the datastream. It must accept data from an external source (our design is calling for 10 GbitEthernet over SFP+ or XFP) and process it as described via internal FPGA processing. Itwill then pass the data over the backplane via a VXS switch card to be processed by amodem unit which houses the components needed to covert between analogue and digitalsignals.SPECIFICATIONS:Desired Quantity: 4The supplied XMC boards SHALL abide by the following constraints:Be compatible with a previously competed and awarded 6U VXS FPGA BoardDetails on VXS Boards on hand:oNallatech VXS-610 - Dual FPGA and PowerPC VXS MultiprocessoroConfigured with two Virtex-5 LX155T FPGAsoPowerPC MPC8548E ProcessoroProduct Page:http://www.nallatech.com/VME-Multiprocessors/vxs-610-dual-virtex-5-fpga-and-powerpc-vxs-multiprocessor.html Provide Xilinx Virtex LXT family FPGA(s) for user defined applicationsFollow the VITA 42.0 specification for XMCXFP or SFP+ transceiver(s) capable of 10 Gbit/s Ethernet through front panelProvide a 10 Gbit/s communication path from the front panel Ethernet transceiverto the onboard XMC FPGA(s) to the XMC ports that connect to the existing FPGAs on theGovernment owned VXS board (VXS-610). Note that the existing VXS board uses GTP basedhigh speed serial lanes.Must be able to sustain both interfaces simultaneously (front panel and XMC I/O)Software/Driver support for LinuxVirtex LXT Requirements:oProvide a minimum of 35K slices of logic resourcesoProvide a minimum of 240K logic cellsoNOTE WELL Requirements are for user defined FPGA(s). FPGA resources usedprimarily by the manufacture for board control and operations are not applicable to thesecounts (user loadable cores are OK)SDRAM Memory RequirementsoProvide a minimum of 1GB of memory directly accessible to the FPGA(s)Obtain all power from the XMC interfaceDoes not draw power beyond the VITA specificationsMaintain a nominal operating temperature range when the board is air-cooledProvide any necessary IP cores to allow the FPGA(s) to interface with otherdevices on the boardProvide documentation that provide full detail on board components includingdevice interfaces, data flow, architecture, control, memory structure, electricalconnectors, jumpers, switches, LEDs, and pin outsOPTIONS:Additional 6 unitsMANUALS:The Contractor shall provide operational manuals that shall be written in English. Two(2) sets of operator manuals shall be included which shall document operation andmaintenance of the XMC Modules for the Data Link Sub-Component.

The FAR may be obtained via the Internet at URL: http://www.arnet.gov/far/ The NFS may be obtained via the Internet at URL: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/nfstoc.htm SELECTION:EvaluationCommercial Items (Jan 1999) (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to theresponsible offeror on a BEST VALUE basis. Selection and award will be made to thatofferor whose offer will be the most advantageous to the Government, with considerationgiven to the factors of technical capability of the item(s) offered to meet thespecifications, price, past performance and best value requirements shall also beconsidered:Best Value Factors (BVF) include: Delivery within 10 weeks, Virtex-6 LXT User FPGAs, anyadditional FPGA(s) or FPGA resources, and any additional SDRAM memory capacity for theFPGA(s) or on-board processor.Selection and award will be made on an aggregate basis. The awardee is required to have atechnically acceptable offer and have acceptable past performance. Technicalacceptability will be determined by a review of the information submitted by the offerorproviding a description in sufficient detail to show that the product offered meets theGovernment's requirement (see specifications above). It is critical that offerorsprovide adequate detail to allow evaluation of their offer. (SEE FAR 52.212-1(b)).Technical, past performance and best value, when combined, are approximately equallyimportant than price. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the totalprice for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government maydetermine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantlyunbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise theoption(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished tothe successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shallresult in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offersspecified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer),whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice ofwithdrawal is received before award. MISCELLANEOUS:Questions regarding this acquisition must be submitted in writing (e-mail is preferred)no later than August 25, 2010.Prospective quoters shall notify this office of theirintent to submit a quotation. An ombudsman has been appointed - See NASA Specific Note 'B'.It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the following Internet site for the releaseof solicitation amendments (if any):http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=D&pin=22.
