- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial item prepared in accordance with the format prescribed in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (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 Naval Air Warfare Center - Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River MD 4.5 Department has a COMPETITIVE requirement to acquire MF/HF transmitter systems for Modular Commando Solo (MCS) Program. The planned MCS system shall include a Roll-On/Roll-Off (RORO) MF, HF, FM, and Narrowband broadcasting system that is mounted on pallets that are loaded on a C-130J Aircraft. These transmitters shall only employ Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) technologies because the overall goal of this procurement is to utilize COTS equipment while reducing space, weight, and power and increasing transmitter efficiency through use of solid-state technology that still meets all threshold requirements with minimal modification. The specifications for the transmitter systems are intended to fulfill requirements for the MCS aircraft mission with options for additional system based on funding. The specific amount solicited for MF/HF transmitter system includes three sets each of the MF and HF transmitters for the MCS aircraft mission and training. There is an option for 2 sets of each to be exercised within 15 months of the contract award and an option for 3 sets of each to be exercised within 30 months of contract award. The system for the MCS aircraft will be used for communication over long distances from an aircraft to civilian and military personnel on civilian commercial radio bands and on military frequencies in use for both ground and air. The solicited MF/HF transmitter system will be frequency agile and shall be capable of providing sufficient power output through a trailing wire or fixed antenna system. Each transmitter will be capable of 10 kW peak-to-peak power output (THRESHOLD). The AM Broadcast transmitter shall be capable of transmitting a continuous wave (CW) or analog audio signal over the AM broadcasting frequency range from 450 kHz to 1700 kHz. The HF transmitter should be capable of AM/CW/SSB/ISB modulation over the frequency range of 1.7 to 30 MHz. Specific transmitter frequency range may differ so long as the entire frequency range to 450 kHz to 30 MHz is covered by the total MF/HF system. Either transmitter design shall include the exciter, solid state power amplifier, all combiners, post selectors, antenna matching network POD mounted dummy load as necessary to compete the total system configuration. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334290 and the small business size standard is 750 employees.
