- 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 2 EACH 40 GHz PortableSignal Generators with power cords as described as follows: TWO (2) each highly portable40-GHz Synthesized Signal Generators that will be used with the existing test equipmentfor signal level calibration of a test set during setup in the field. The instrumentsshall meet or exceed all of the following Minimum Technical Specifications.Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 40 GHz, Tuning Resolution is less than or equal to 1 Hz,Tuning / Switching Speed less than 10 ms. Output Power: Power Range +15 dBm to -35-dBm (minimum), less than or equal to -65 dBmMuted.Resolution: less than or equal to 0.1 dB stepsAbsolute Accuracy +/- 2.0 dBOutput Impedance- 50 OhmsNote: The Instrument shall include an output mute feature which significantly reduces(turns off) the output signal level. When muted the output level shall be less than -65dBm.Signal Purity:SSB Phase Noise less than -85 dBc/Hz at 10 KHz offset over full freq range, and lessthan -85 dBc/Hz for offsets greater than 10 KHz.Spurious (non-harmonics) less than -50 dBc at +10dBm, over full frequency range.Harmonics less than -30 dBc at +10dBm, over full frequency range.Frequency Reference: Internal Reference Accuracy less than or equal to 1.5 ppmExternal Reference: 10-MHz Frequency Reference Input.Note, when the internal frequencyreference is used, the internal frequency reference shall be available as an output forphase locking of other instruments.Environment: Temperature Range Operational 0 to 35 degrees C, Temperature Range Storage -20 to 70 degrees C.Power Supply: Input power 100-240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, < 200-WattsGeneral: The RF output connector shall be a 2.92-mm Female connector (Sometimes referredto as a 'K' connector). The instrument shall include a front panel display. The displayshall show the following minimum information: 1) current output frequency, 2) currentoutput power level in dBm, 3) current output state (RF On / RF Off). This display shallbe backlit for use in poor lighting conditions and readable in full direct sunlight. Theinstrument shall include front panel mounted controls (knobs, switches, push buttons,etc.). The controls shall permit adjustment of the following functions: 1) output centerfrequency, 2) output power level, 3) toggle the output on and off, and 4) instrumentpower switch. The instrument enclosure shall include a handle or strap for carrying theinstrument, and rubber (or equivalent) feet on the bottom to restrict the instrument fromsliding on smooth surfaces. An adjustable 'tilt-bail' handle which can be positioned foruse as a stand is preferred, allowing the position of the instrument to be adjusted foreasy view of the front panel of the instrument. Size and Weight: The maximum instrumentdimensions shall be 15' x 15' x 10'. The instrument shall weigh less than 15-lbs(including power supply).The instrument shall include a remote control capability using an Ethernet Interface.The instrument shall support Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI)formatted commands and responses.The instrument shall support the following minimum commands over the remote controlinterface: 1) identify instrument - '*IDN?', 2) set frequency, 3) set amplitude, 4) readfrequency, 5) read amplitude, 6) query faults.Used and/or refurbished equipment is NOT acceptable.The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 2005-54. The NAICS Code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 334515, 500employees respectively. The offeror shall state in their offer their size status forthis procurement.All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.Delivery to NASA Glenn Research Center, 21000 Brookpark Road, Cleveland OH 44135 isrequired within 70 days ARO.
