59 -- PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER SOL N68335-00-Q-0239 DUE 090800 POC Ms. Kebra Henderson, (732) 323-7547 The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst intends to procure; (4) each Programmable Logic Controller System (PLC-5) (Allen Bradley assigned P/N NAWC-PLC-001), (1) each Programming Software for PLC (RSLogix5), including technical documentation and drawing package. The PLC -5 and RSLogix5 was procured from Allen-Bradley Company, LLC under contract N68335-99-M-3168. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate a firm fixed price contract with Allen-Bradley, LLC, 1 Allen Bradley Drive, Cleveland, OH 33124-6118. Allen-Bradley is considered the only supplier for this equipment because the Allen-Bradley PLC-5, is the only unit currently qualified by the Navy for shock, vibration, and EMI requirements in addition to meeting the input/output voltage capability. The PLC should either be ruggedized commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS), i.e., modified for military use, or militarized, i.e., designed and manufactured to military specifications. The PLC shall meet the requirements as defined in MIL-DTL-2212H. Exceptions to the requirements of the military specification may be allowed at the discretion of the government. These exceptions encompass, but are not limited to, the following: (1) The PROM memory may be programmable while installed in the PLC, (2) designs are not restricted to the allowable installation envelope and mounting footprint for the PLC defined in figure 2 and 3, (3) the PLC need not use MS3400 type electrical connectors for interfacing all input and output signals with ship's wiring, (4) the voltage rating for discrete inputs and outputs should include 24-30 volts AC. The minimal acceptance criteria is as follows: (1) shall be compatible with type I shipboard power as defined in MIL-STD-1399, Section 300A, (2) shall meet the shock requirements as defined in MIL-STD-901, (3) shall meet the type I vibration requirements as defined in MIL-STD-167, (4) shall meet EMI requirements as defined in MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-462. The programmable logic controllers will be used with the Navy developed Mark 7 Mod 4 Arresting Gear retractable sheave assembly. The units to be procured under this purchase request will be installed aboard the Navy Aircraft Carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (to be designated CVN-76). This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, the Government will consider all responses received within fifteen days after the date of the publication of this synopsis. A determination by the Government not to open this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received as a result of this notice of intent will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining to conduct a competitive procurement. Posted 08/22/00 (W-SN488851). (0235)
