Janilea Bays, Contracting Officer, Code 3240.JB 17. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation number, N00173-98-R-CR04, is issued as a request for proposal (RFP). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-03 and for Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) through Defense Acquisition Circular 91-12. The FAR and DFAR provisions and clauses cited herein are incorporated by reference into this solicitation. This acquisition is unrestricted. The small business size standard for this acquisition is 500 employees and the standard industry code (SIC) is 3825. Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 0001: Radar testing system, one (1) each, consisting of a digital radio frequency memory kernel, Doppler generator and associated controller (hereafter referred to as DRFM). The output of the DRFM must provide a coherent signal that simulates a target at a programmable range, range rate and Doppler frequency. The DRFM must be capable of providing at least four independent target returns. The target parameters (range, range rate and Doppler frequency) must be user programmable. The controller must provide a control interface to the DRFM kernel and Doppler generator via an industry standard VME or PC ISA data bus. The controller must permit programmable control of the DRFM kernel and Doppler generator by writing to controller registers from a computer via the standard bus. The controller, at a minimum, must permit control of the number of targets, target range and target Doppler frequency. The Doppler modulator must have the following performance characteristics: Doppler channels: at least one (1) independent source, Tuning speed: 250 ns/device, Tuning range: +/- 585.9 kHz, Tuning resolution: 0.56 Hz, Spurious: better than -- 48 dBc. The DRFM kernel must have the following electrical performance characteristics: Number of bits: eight (8), Sample rate: Up to 1000 MHz, Instantaneous BW: >450Mhz, Frequency flatness (across instantaneous bandwidth): +/- 2.5 dB, Spurious performance (based on all bits): Typical (20 MHz wide): -- 48dBc, Worse case deterministic: -40 dBc, Worse case non-deterministic: -50 dBc (input terminated), Input dynamic range: >45 dB, Modes of operation: stored and continuous, Minimum memory throughput (digital+filters=total): Continuous (pipeline): 120 ns, Stored: 170ns + 30ns = 200ns, Storage time (mem depth): 2.1 ms, Minimum delay step size: 4 ns, Delay accuracy: < 0.5 ns. The DRFM must be configured into an industry standard chassis appropriate for the data bus (e.g. VME or ISA). The DRFM must operate in laboratory, field, mobile trailer or an aircraft environment. The operating temperature range must be between 0 C to 40 C. Storage temperature range must be between -20 C to 60 C. The unit must operate in 0 to 100% (non-condensing) relative humidity. Standard commercial warranty and product documentation should be provided. The required delivery schedule is 365 days after contract award date. The contractor shall deliver the system (all shipping charges paid) and the government shall accept the system FOB destination, Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC 20375.
