- Description
- This is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation for Commercial items authorized under FAR Subpart 13.5 Simplified Acquisition and prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6 Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This requirement is 100% Set Aside for Small Business. FOB: Destination. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division, Lakehurst, NJ is looking to procure the following items: (1) one Modular Test Analyzer to be used to test prototype wiring assemblies such as cables, harnesses, relay control boxes, wired interface panels, and prototype test boxes which are being developed to support other Navy laboratories, as well as Navy Aircraft platforms, and support equipment. The test system will also be used to fix existing cable harnesses used in the Navy Fleet. Specifications for the test system; (1) A design that is scalable, reconfigurable and provides an open architecture. An open architecture is characterized as utilizing well-established, non-proprietary standards for interfaces, services, software, and supporting formats. (2) A Central Processing Unit (CPU) that shall be easily seperated from the test system so that it can be upgraded to newer technology without causing any additional hardware/firmware changes to the test system. (3) A modular connector and multibus switching architecture, covering at least 100 channels, that supports the use of one-to-one universal adapter cables which do not need to be dedicated to a specific assembly or system, this would require applying the multibus signals without having to breakout parallel lines from the universal adapter cables. (4) The ability to test wire assemblies containing/interfacing with relays, indicators, flight control panels, and junction boxes. (5) A fault locator technique which shall automatically determine the relative distance to fault in cable and harness assemblies. The information shall be logged to a report for recall on screen and printing. (6) 1,000 point switching with at least 100 channels for multibus application. (7) Programmable power supply (0-30VDC, 5 Amp minimum) available to multibus switching for stimulus power for test article components. (8) Software for; Adapter cable design, build instructions, bill of materials and adapter cable labels; Adapter cable inventory control; Creating hookup instructions, verification test and test programs for simple and complex circuits; Generating and viewing real time schematics diagrams of the harness under test; Logging data to error reports; Text editor for writing test programs; syntax checker. (9) 1000 VDC Dielectric Strength and Insulation Resistance tests with programmable resistive current limits, voltage, ramp rates, and dwell time limits, shall be compliant with MIL STD 202G Method 301/302 and all proper safety mechanisms shall be incorporated. The tester shall provide pass/fail indication and measurement of the leakage current. (10) The test system shall fit on an existing laboratory workbench and shall not exceed the current tester footprint of 400 square inches. This leaves adequate work space for the UUT and ancillary test equipment. Ship to: Lakehurst, NJ 08733. Inspection and Acceptance at Destination. FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items is incorporated by reference. Addendum 52.212-2 Para (a): Award will be made to the lowest price offered.

All responsible sources may submit a quotation which, if received in a timely manner, shall be considered by the agency. THIS NOTICE IS AMENDED TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: A design that is scalable, reconfigurable and provides an open architecture. An open architecture is characterized as utilizing well-established, non-proprietary standards for interfaces, services, software, and supporting formats. Kindly provide more detailed information as to your definition of open architecture. Are you saying that you can plug any device or instrument into our system and expect it to function. What are these well-established, non-proprietary standards ? The government does not want a system that can not grow as technology changes or parts need replacing, nor do they want to be locked into vendor proprietary software. For example, if a component/card fails, the government wants to be able to replace this part without having to go back to the vendor for maintenance support. It is expected that a standard interface like USB would be able to be plugged into your system and it will be recognized. (2) A modular connector and multibus switching architecture, covering at least 100 channels, that supports the use of one-to-one universal adapter cables which do not need to be dedicated to a specific assembly or system, this would require applying the multibus signals without having to breakout parallel lines from the universal adapter cables. We require more details with regard to the “ universal adapter “, Who defines that adapter ? What is the definition of this adapter as well as its operating environment ? A “universal adapter” is an interface cable / module which adapts the tester connector to the UUT connector with one (contact)-to-one (contact) connectivity. When using an automatic wiring tester, the tester feature which makes this adapter truly “universal” is multibus switching. When both test and excitation connections can be made to each or predetermined set of contact(s) in the adapter, then it can truly be called “universal.” That is because ALL cables / relay boxes / switch panels utilizing that connector can be tested without modification to the adapter (i.e. without breakout or “Y”-off). (3) Generating and viewing real time schematics diagrams of the harness under test; If schematics are to begenerated real time ( during the test process ), who generates the layers for the.dxf file ? Government is not sure what is meant by layers of.dxf file. The harness under test can be ‘learned’ first by the tester and then the schematic can be generated. (4) Where ONE power supply, is programmed with ONE output level, then that ONE output is available and selectable by any or all 100 test channels? OR Is there a different operating scenario? There needs to be only one power supply. A voltage will be selected and the sequential stepping will start and that voltage applied whenever the test program call for it. An additional scenario should be accommodated where different voltages are needed during the course of the program. Here, the stepping can be paused while the new voltage is called for, and then continue stepping. Only one voltage will be required at any one time. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IS ADDED TO PARAGRAPH (7) IN THE STATEMENT OF WORK: (7) Programmable power supply (0-30VDC, 5 Amp minimum) available to multibus switching for stimulus power for test article components. There needs to be only one power supply. A voltage will be selected and the sequential stepping will start and that voltage applied whenever the test program call for it. An additional scenario should be accommodated where different voltages are needed during the course of the program. Here, the stepping can be paused while the new voltage is called for, and then continue stepping. Only one voltage will be required at any one time. THIS SOLICITATION/SYNOPSIS CLOSING DATE IS HEREBY EXTENDED INDEFINITELY.
