(v) Specifications and Requirements: Quantity two (2) tuners, one input and one output: Frequency range of 8 to 50 GHz. Matching range of minimum 10:1 Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) at tuner coax port. Insertion loss of less than 1.0 dB in with probe(s) retracted (tuner initialized to 50ohm). Repeatability of -40 dB. Power handling of 10 W at 10:1 VSWR. Mounting interface for standard, commercially available low loss Ground-Signal-Ground (GSG) Co-planar Waveguide (CPW) on-wafer test probes with 2.4 mm coaxial connector. Optional pre-matching mount if needed to achieve higher VSWR at probe tip for on wafer test (details above). 2.4 mm connectors for the input and output. Software: Graphical user interface (GUI) for automatic control of tuners and test equipment by computer. Calibration of tuners and test equipment. Instrument drivers for computer control of standard test equipment for radio frequency (RF) test: Government owned Agilent PNA series Network Analyzers, Hewlett Packard 438 Power Meter, Agilent EPM-P Series Power Meter, Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer, DC Power Supply, and Spectrum Analyzer. Capable of generating custom, user defined drivers for control for test equipment that do not have built-in drivers in software. Power measurements are Pout, Gain, Efficiency, load pull contours, voltages, currents, s-parameters, Intermodulation Distortion and Adjacent Channel Power (IMD ACP). Allows for software calls to permit automated testing on multiple sites across wafer. Graphical plotting of data. Vector Network Analyzer Calibration Kit: Frequency range of to 50 GHz. 2.4 mm connectors for the input and output. Compatible with Agilent PNA series Network Analyzers. Contains all calibration standards for Thru-Reflect-Line (TRL) calibrations. On-Site installation: The Contractor shall arrive onsite at the Electronics Technology Branch, Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate of the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Adelphi, MD within 14 weeks to install the referenced Load Pull System. In the presence of government employees, the referenced system shall pass the Contractors on-site calibration and verification test to ensure the system is fully functional. The Contractor shall ensure all hardware necessary for installation on Government owned semi-automated on-wafer probe station is included: mounting hardware for attachment to probe station, 3-axis positioners for tuners. The Contractor shall provide minimum one (1) day, 8-hour training of the system, including system operation and calibration, coincident with installation. This training shall be provided on-site at the government installation. (vi) Delivery shall be made to Building 204/3D074, Adelphi, MD 20783. Acceptance shall be performed at Adelphi, MD. The FOB point is Destination. (vi) The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial, applies to this acquisition. The following addenda have been attached to this provision: None. (viii) The provision at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items is applicable to this acquisition. The specific evaluation criteria to be included in paragraph (a) of that provision are as follows: The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Technical, Past Performance and Price. The Technical element of the evaluation will be a determination as to whether the proposed product meets the performance characteristics and specifications in the solicitation. The Technical element of the evaluation shall be based solely on information furnished by the vendor. The Government is not responsible for locating or securing any information, which is not identified in the proposal. To ensure sufficient information is available, vendors must furnish as part of their proposal all descriptive material (such as cuts, illustrations, drawings, or other information) necessary for the Government to determine whether the product meets the performance characteristics and specifications of the requirement. If the offeror proposes to modify a product so as to conform to the requirement of this solicitation, the offeror shall include a clear description of such proposed modifications and clearly mark any descriptive materials to show modifications. Additional consideration is given to proposed product that can provide performance beyond the minimum requirements, in that there is a goal to achieve 10:1 over 30 to 45 GHz at probe tip for on-wafer test with standard commercially available low loss Ground-Signal-Ground (GSG) Co-planar Waveguide (CPW) probes (typical 0.5 dB probe insertion loss or as specified by offeror). Proposed product that provides performance beyond the minimum requirements, even if it does not fully meet/exceed the goal, may be deemed a best value to the Government based on an evaluation of technical performance and price. Past performance will be evaluated based on information provided by the offeror as to actual sales of the proposed product to industry or Government agencies. Past performance will consider the ability of the offeror to meet technical specifications, delivery schedules (with warranty fulfillment and maintenance reputation included as applicable). Offerors shall include two (2) records of sales from the previous twelve (12) months. Offerors shall identify a point of contact for each sale by providing a name and telephone number. Price will be evaluated based on the total proposed price, including options, (if any). Technical and past performance are of equal importance and when combined are significantly more important than price. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest price and to award without discussions.
