- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared inaccordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additionalinformation included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the onlysolicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for four (4) miniaturereaction wheels for small spacecraft attitude control.The following specificationsapply:General: The wheels shall be a momentum storage device and provide reaction torque alongone axis of each wheel. Design and Construction: Units shall be engineering units for ground testing anddevelopment. The units shall be functionally identical to available space rated units.Each unit shall include a reaction wheel with BLDC motor, control electronics, and asolid-state angular rate sensor. Mechanical: The reaction wheels shall be designed as an integrated unit with mountingprevisions. Weight: Unit weight shall not exceed 1.5 kg. Supply Power Voltage: Each reaction wheel shall require one 28 VDC 6 V unregulated powersupply. Electrical Interface and Signals: The electrical signal interface shall be asynchronousRS-422 serial digital data bus. Angular Momentum: Each reaction wheel shall have a momentum capacity of greater than 1.0Nms Torque: Each reaction wheel shall be capable of producing reaction torques of 30 mN-m. Torque Regulation: Torque control performance shall be better than 500 micro-Nm(averaged over 1 sec.) Temperature Range: Operational temperature range shall be -30 to 60 C. Telemetry: Wheel telemetry shall include wheel speed, angular rate, torque, temperaturesand motor voltages. Control Command: Each wheel shall be commanded by a selectable torque or speed set-pointat an update rate of 20 Hz. Integrated Angular Rate Sensor: Each wheel shall have an integrate angular rate sensorwith a range of 500 deg/sec and a drift rate of &lt; 10 deg/hour. Offerors shall include enough information to establish that the proposed reaction wheelshave heritage that includes multiple flight units being fully qualified and delivered.Flight heritage shall include launch and two years operation for at minimum, one mission.The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 2005-29 The NAICS Code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 334511 and750 respectively.
