- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 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. The solicitation, N00173-04-R-JR07, is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through FAC 2001-21 and DFARS Change Notice 20040323. This The associated NAICS code is 334112 and the small business size standard is 500 employees. NRL requires a digital data recording and storage system for a high-speed VME-based data acquisition system. The system must interface to existing NRL Analog to Digital (A/D) modules. Key System Requirements: a. Capability for 5 simultaneous 32-bit snapshot channels; b. system shall acquire a one-second snapshot of the five channels, once every ten (10) seconds. This pattern repeats up to 8 hours, resulting in 2880 snapshots; c. Each data channel is derived from a dual NRL A/D card via a Front Panel Data Port (FPDP) interface. Sampling rates are either 1.25M Sa/sec across ten (10) 16-bit A/D outputs or 62.5M Sa/sec from five (5) 16-bit outputs. The 5 recording channels shall take data from either upper and lower 16-bit words selectable via software when in the high sample rate mode. Once the snapshot acquisition is complete, data must be transferred to disk storage in the 9 seconds between snapshots; d. VME64-X form factor for the data acquisition board, 6U height, 1-2 slots wide, 5V/6A max per board. 3.3V power is not available; e. External, stand-alone, 19-inch rack-mounted disk storage device with slide rails, 5.25 inch height maximum; f. Instantaneous snap shot size minimum is 125MB/channel; g. Total data storage requirement is 1.8TB; h. Access to the data storage shall be via 2Gb/s Fiber Channel as well as via Ethernet; i. Digital Interface shall be via 32-bit LVDS FPDP connector, interface, and protocol; j. The software for the system shall provide an API in both C and C plus programming languages for NRL developers to embed calls for controlling the recording and modes of operation; k. The 5 channels will be synchronized by NRL mechanisms. Specifically, NRL will use the FPDP DVALID signal to control the snapshot recording of data. All channels receive individual DVALID signals simultaneously during the snapshot. DVALID shall be active continuously for the one-second duration of the snapshot and will only be asserted after all the recorder channels have been started; l. NRL users shall be able to connect to and control the system via a frames-enabled web browser. The data recorder shall operate by a single START and STOP button on a single webpage. Clicking on the START button will cause the system to initialize and start the recorders for a new data run of snapshot recording. In this state, the recorder shall record data snapshots whenever the FPDP DVALID signals are asserted. When the data run is complete, the user clicks on the STOP button to cease data recording. API controls shall include, but are not limited to, the following items: 1. Format a disk, 2. Connect to a disk group, 3. Test the Recording Speed, 4. Free a Memory Buffer, 5. Prepare a transfer, 6. Get recording table info, 7. Get the name of the current disk group, 8. Delete a recording, 9. Get info from a recording, 10. Add a list of disks to a disk group, 11. Clear disks from a disk group, 12. Start and stop data transfers, 13. Write a header to a recording, 14. Provide and log Error Messages.
