TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: The Linear HPA will be a small, self-contained, lightweight, air-cooled, broadband amplifier that provides instantaneous broadband signal generation to develop RF fields in an open field test site. The amplifier must be of rugged solid-state and Class AB linear design. The amplifier will be housed in a single equipment rack and will provide a complete stand-alone performance for testing. HPA will be of a design that provides a high efficiency operation rate, proven reliability, low distortion and is stable across the frequency range. The HPA must provide high gain, wide dynamic range, low distortions and good linearity. Input signals will be from signal generators that are both swept and stepped through the frequency band. The amplifier will be able to be controlled either locally or by remote. The amplifier's front panel must have a LCD touchscreen digital display that provides extensive system status information accessed through a series of menus via soft keys. Status indicators include power on, warm-up, standby, operate, faults, excess reflected power warning and remote standby mode, VSWR protection, gain control, ALC on/off, forward and reflected RF output sample port, plus monitoring of the HPA amplifier critical parameters. Front panel type-N connectors are required. The amplifier will have front handles and provisions for rack mounting. The amplifier must have thermal overload, over current and over voltage circuit protection. Minimum two year warranty. Must include a complete set of operator/system technical manuals. FOB DESTINATION: Fort Huachuca, Arizona. Payment will be made by Defense Finance and Accounting under provisions of Wide Area Work Flow under Net 30 Terms. Offers are due no later than 12 noon, Mountain Standard Time, 21 May 2008. Offers shall be submitted electronically at: carmen.simotti@us.army.mil. EVALUATION CRITERIA/ PROCEDURES: Offers will be submitted in commercial quote format. The offers will be evaluated based on the following best value criteria in descending order of importance: Meeting the requirement, Proposed Delivery Schedule, Past Performance, and Price. Equipment must be delivered within 120 days of purchase. The result of the award will be posted in Fedbizopps(http://www.fbo.gov/) under Award Notices. Questions pertaining to the Award Notice must be submitted in writing. For additional information, contact Carmen Simotti at (520) 533-8189 or carmen.simotti@us.army.mil.
