This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is set aside for small business. SPECIFICATION: This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ)] for: ITEM 1, Qty 1, SDR and Signal Processing Development System; ITEM 2, Qty 1, Option for additional 250K (minimum) logic cells of Xilinx, FPGA processing capabilities; ITEM 3, Qty 1, User support. Please see the Solitication Instructions that follow the specification portion of this solicitation. The Contractor shall furnish Items 1 through 3 which shall meet the following specifications: SDR and Signal Processing Development System 1. BASIC REQUIREMENT: This specification is for a hardware and software platform to be used for the development of real-time communication waveforms and signal processing applications. The system shall be based on VME form factor and implement VXS board connections so that the system can scale processing power effectively without cable bridging between interconnect schemes. The host operating system shall be Linux based with the development environment Windows based.
