- Description
- This synopsis is posted to both the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at https://www.fbo.gov and the Navy Electronic Commerce On Line (NECO) site located at https://www.neco.navy.mil. While it is understood that 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 Naval Sea Systems Command. Description. This notice amends the original notice to re-open request for quotation period and extend the closing date to 25 August 2010. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to purchase, on a sole source basis in accord with FAR 6.302-1(b)(1), electronics effects testing services using Marx-Vircator power source/wave generation/antenna system apparatus. NSWCDD sought through extensive market research and a publicized Request For Information (N00178-09-Q-3005) alternative RF technologies that could potentially be utilized in a non-lethal weapons program that focuses on disabling small boat attacks. Several unique technologies have been identified for testing. The Marx-Vircator Apparatus technology is one of those unique technologies selected. Advanced Physical Electronics, L.C. is the company that proposed the technology. They possess the unique capability to provide the required testing services since they possess the apparatus, technology, and particular engineering knowledge to meet testing requirements. Advanced Physical Electronics, L.C. is located at 5208 Electronics Avenue, Spicewood, TX and the mailing address is P.O. Box 341149, Austin, TX, 78734. NSWCDD requires testing of a developmental compact high power 40 MW S-Band Vircator source. A sample waveform is also required to be submitted for test analysis. The objective of testing is to evaluate E-Field and waveform effects against target outboard engines across the comprehensive technology parameter space for frequency, peak power on target (source range), pulse pattern (PRF, Number of shots), Orientation of Incidence (azimuth and elevation), and Engine loaded conditions. The following technical requirements shall be met: A) Deliver a 20 stage MARX Generator that shall deliver 400 J with a 200 kV voltage to a matched load. B) A vacuum diode shall use a virtual cathode geometry (or Vircator) with a nominal impedance of 30 Ohms with 2-3% efficiency. C) A Vlasov antenna is to be utilized in combination with the Vircator with the desired result to be 40 MW peak radiated power. D) The apparatus shall produce an S-Band microwave. E) The apparatus shall be powered by a rep-rate capable MG20-1C-100NF Marx generator system. The antenna and waveforms shall generate RF effects directed toward outboard engines to test effects on engine operations. A source operator and test engineer are required to operate the test equipment and NSWCDD personnel will observe, capture, and analyze the resulting data. Contractor services shall include the following: 1) Provide source operator capable of setting up and running the effects source, generating the specific test waveforms and frequencies, and performing basic maintenance. 2) Provide a test engineer for initial field map and test facilitation. 3) Provide the High Power Microwave (HPM) system and the documentation on source configuration including: modular components, required connections (prime power, air lines, diagnostics, etc.), available test stands, or other test hardware as necessary. 4) Provide required power or connection cables of at least 30 meters in length. 5) Provide an eyelet or connection point on the source test stand for lifting connection in support of elevation and directional testing. Sources will be tilted forward and lifted by a crane or other portable lift. Testing shall commence on 14 September 2010 and shall be completed NLT 21 September 2010. All necessary equipment setup, test preparation, and field mapping shall be completed prior to 14 September 2010. The award shall be a firm fixed price purchase order and shall be executed under Federal Simplified Acquisition Procedures (FAR Part 13). In order to be eligible for award firms must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. Vendors may obtain information on registration in the CCR on the Internet at http://www.ccr.gov. This synopsis notice is a Request for Quotation. NSWCDD will accept quotations from the sole source named above. Quotations from other responsible parties who want to submit quotations and explanations of their capabilities will also be considered. Questions or responses to this notice must be submitted via email to phillip.makely@navy.mil, must be received NLT 25 August 2010, and must reference Quotation Number N00178-10-Q-3566. The award of this purchase is to be made under Simplified Acquisition (FAR Part 13). The Government will not issue a written solicitation as all items are specified in this notice. Closing time and date is 25 August 2010 at 11:59 p.m.
