- Description
- NASA/GRC has a requirement for SPECIFICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT SWITCHES - Thefollowing specifications apply to the requested Purchase for TTTech North America Inc.(TTTech) Time Triggered Ethernet (TTE) development switches.These are supplied pursuant to FAR 13.106, for the acquisition of supplies or services.At this time it appears that the intended switches do not have a part number, except forthe order number HE02.20.0.TTEthernet Development Switch Features:4 x 1000 Mbps copper/optical fibre ports (1000Base-SX modules)Maximum 4K (4096) standard Ethernet MAC addressesMaximum TT scheduled frames rate8K Receive (16K possible)48K Transmit256 clock sync frames1379 buffers in industry standard QDR II SRAM (static random access memory) withstatic assignments to traffic classesSupports single synchronization domainRedundant Mode and Multi-Hop mode capableSupports all programmability and operation on the TTTech Development Systempurchased on contract NNC08QA28P.2 EACH.NASA/GRC intends to purchase the items from NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATIONGLENN RESEARCH CENTER - RECOMMENDATION AND DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM ONE SOURCEI recommend that NASA Glenn Research Center negotiate with TTTech North America Inc.(TTTech) onlyfor TTTech TTEthernet Development Switches as quoted. The total estimatedcost of this effort is $ 32,380 and the estimated period of performance or lead-time fordelivery is 30 DAYS.This recommendation is made pursuant to FAR 13.106, for the acquisition of supplies orservices determined to be reasonably available from only one source.Competition isimpractical for the following reasons: 1.TTTech was selected by the prime contractor Lockheed Martin to provide the timetriggered protocol on Ethernet(TTE) part of the flight data bus for the Orion spacevehicle. TTTech is currently the only vendor of TTE until such time as TTE becomes aSociety of Automotive Engineers standard AS6802, an event that is not expected for atleast another year. This proprietary commercial off the shelf data bus hardware will beused in the developmental system that was previously purchased on Contract NNC08QA28Pfrom TTTech.The urgency is that the Orion Preliminary Design Review (PDR) is in late August and thedata bus hardware will enhance our ability to perform Independent Verification andValidation on the TTE data bus before the PDR.NASA will use this system to do properinsight or oversight of the development of the Orion data bus.2.
