- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) proposes to negotiate on a sole source basis with the University of Colorado - Boulder, Office of Contract & Grants to investigate the transmission of RF signals into buildings. A key aspect is to review methods both to measure and to predict signal propagation into buildings. Some data exist in the literature, but are not collected into a form accessible to non-technical users (e.g., police, fire, first responders). This effort will collect existing data and generate new data where needed. Measurements will investigate propagation through single layers to provide verification of simple analytical models. Measurements will then investigate propagation into actual buildings to gain insight into the variability of signal penetration due to structure geometry, ground effects, additional scatterers (pipes, gutters, etc.), apertures (windows, doors, etc.), and other real world effects. Modeling efforts will consider similar complications. The Electrical Engineering (EE) Department of the University of Colorado has the unique experience and capabilities required for this project. This simplified acquisition (NTE $100K) is being conducted under the authority of FAR Part 13. No solicitation is available. Responses to this notice must be received no later than January 7, 2004 and will be evaluated solely to determine if a competitive procurement process will be in the Government's best interest. FAR provisions in full text are available online at http://www.arnet.gov/far/ including requirements for registration in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). Inquiries or responses should be submitted in writing to Doris Turner, Purchasing Agent, via email at doris.p.turner@noaa.gov or by fax at 303-497-3163. The anticipated award date is January 9, 2004.
