- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation, which is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ); quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for: A Head and Torso Simulator and a Digital Speech Level Analyzer. The following specifications apply: Head and Torso Simulator which shall contain the following features and meet the salient characteristics listed below: 1) Mouth Simulator with overload protection and sound pressure distribution simulating a median adult human mouth in accordance with ITU-T Rec. P.51. Mouth transducer to operate over a range of static pressures between 30 kPa and 130 kPa with transducer sensitivity/efficiency characterized over the operating range and less than 3 dB variation over the static pressure range for speaker at 250 Hz. 2) Left and Right Ear Simulators with built in condenser microphone and microphone preamplifier. Ear simulators should simulate the inner part of the ear canal as specified in the IEC 60711 Standard. Ear transducers to operate over a range of static pressures between 30 kPa and 130 kPa with transducer sensitivity/efficiency characterized over the operating range and less than a 1 dB variation over the static pressure range for microphones at 250Hz. 3) The ability to test both mouth and ear simulators simultaneously (full duplex capability). 4) Adjustable Neck Angle. 5) Operating temperature of -5 to + 35 degrees Celsius. 6) Radio frequency emissions within FCC class B limits. Digital Speech Level Analyzer which shall contain the following features and characteristics listed below: 1) Measures the Mean Active Speech Level (MASL) according to ITU-T P.56, Method B. 2) Performs objective Speech Quality Scoring according to ITU-T P.862.1 3) American English Artificial Speech Test Stimulus Files 4) Monitoring output with the ability to select input and output signals for each channel. 5) Graphical presentation of speech level distribution. 6) Measurement of echo canceller performance (with or without double talk). 7) Simulation of echo delay and level for echo canceller performance analysis. 8) Results log file compatible with Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software.
