Description

The National Ground Intelligence Center has a requirement for data collection and characterization of selected electromagnetic properties of simple/complex samples of potential Radar Altering/Absorbing Materials (RAM), such as paints, structures, clo ths and other appliqu?s. A 5-year fixed cost contract is proposed to separately measure, using direct measurement techniques as appropriate, the complex magnetic permeability (mu), complex dielectric permittivity (epsilon) and associated frequency dependen t properties of non-magnetic and magnetic RAM from complex samples/specimens, supplied by the government or commercially acquired, as a continuous function of frequency over the 1-100 GHz spectrum. The real and imaginary parts of the complex magnetic perme ability (mu), complex dielectric permittivity (epsilon) and other frequency dependent properties are to be separately measured as a function of frequency over the 1-18 GHz , 18-27 Ghz, 27-40 GHz , 40-75 GHz , and 75-100 GHz frequency ranges. It is anticipa ted that to provide the required measurements, a variety of measuring instruments consisting of world class state-of-the-art devices, to include but not be limited to unique customized equipment and facilities, shall be utilized. All the RAM material sampl e preparations and other associated procedures required for the various measurement devices needed to cover the above mentioned frequency ranges shall be included as Contract requirements. In addition, from time to time and on an individual basis, the Government has the requirement for data collection and characterization of selected electromagnetic properties of similar material samples in the extended frequency range between 100 GHz - 5.0 THz. The frequency range(s) will be defined in the actual requirement document and the other specifications described in the above paragraph will apply. Quarterly Reports and Material Technical Reports, composed in a specifically structured Government FMTR format, are required for each measured sample in written and electronic format. In the reports the measured data shall be furnished in graphical and in tabular form showing the values of the sample parameters (with error bars) as a function of frequency with increments of 5-GHz for frequencies above 18 GHz, and with increment of 1-GHz from 1 to 18 GHz. All tabular data shall be reported to four significan t figures. In addition, the Report shall include a characterization and evaluation of the effectiveness of the sample as a potential radar altering or absorbing appliqu?. This is a sources sought announcement and not a solicitation. Request you review the requirement and provide a detailed capabilities statement addressing how your firm has the personnel, equipment and facilities to meet this requirement. At a minimum inclu de your name, address, telephone, fax, e-mail, website, point of contact, past performance, personnel, technical capabilites. All work shall be performed at the contractors facility. The work required on this contract shall be accomplished over a total p eriod of performance (POP) of five years. Capabilities statement should be e-mailed to Willie Johnson, willie.johnson15@us.army.mil NLT 21 JULY 2006. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS AND PLEASE NO PHONE INQUIRIES.
