- SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS INTRODUCTION The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), Point Mugu, CA is seeking qualified vendors to modify, upgrade, and deliver two of Command Destruct Transmitter Antenna Control Units (CDTACU). This is a Sources Sought to determine the availability and technical capability of all prospective businesses. All responsible sources are encouraged to respond. The results of this Sources Sought will be utilized to determine if any Small Business Set-Aside opportunities exist. All Small Business Set-Aside categories will be considered. DISCLAIMER: This sources sought is for informational purposes only. This is not a request for proposal. It does not constitute a solicitation and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government. Responses in any form are not offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. No funds are available to pay for preparation of responses to this announcement. BACKGROUND: The primary objective of the overall project is to upgrade the CDT (Command Destruct Transmitters) and associated exciters, encoders and receivers. The current High Power Amplifiers (HPA) are Lucas Zeta 4 kilowatt (kW) SYS-1078 that were acquired from Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in the late 1990's. This project will replace the aging Lucas Zeta 4 kW HPAs and associated exciters, encoders and receivers with a new modern 2 kW CDT system. Part of this upgrade includes procuring new Antenna Control Units (ACU) for two existing Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) Flight Termination System (FTS) antennas. The antennas will be sent pointing data from Point Mugu and will slave to the commanded angles and send feedback pointing information back to Point Mugu. The ACU's will be housed in a shelter adjacent to the antennas. The shelters will be located at Pillar Point Air Force Facility, Half Moon Bay, CA, and the remote ACUs will be located at Point Mugu, CA. The Navy is interested in solutions that would satisfy the requirement of slaving the two FTS antennas to the commanded angles being sent to them by the remote ACU's at Point Mugu, CA. REQUIREMENTS: Refer to the attached DRAFT Statement of Work (SOW). The Contract Type is anticipated to be Firm Fixed Price (FFP) using FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Items, with an estimated delivery timeframe of five months after contract award. The ACU's are commercial off the shelf items but an interface must be configured for the antennas. The antenna interface cable connector must be custom fitted to a Pedestal Interface Unit (PIU). This interface can also contain electronics such as servo amplifiers to make this custom interface easier than trying to customize the ACU or PIU electronics to the old servo amplifiers. Custom software must be written to allow the ACU to point to a certain point in space with the pointing data generated by NAWCWD. Travel will be required as specified in the DRAFT SOW. Testing and installation services will be performed at the locations in accordance with the DRAFT SOW. ELIGIBILITY: The applicable NAICS code for this requirement is 334220. The Product Service Code (PSC) is 5985. SUBMISSION DETAILS: Interested businesses should submit a brief capabilities statement package (no more than ten 8.5 X 11 inch pages in length, 12 point font minimum) demonstrating ability to perform the services/provide the products specified in the DRAFT SOW.
