Patrick Air Force Base anticipates a requirement that is being considered under a small business set-aside program. The North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) Code proposed 334515. The size standard for NAICS is 500 employees. The requirement is for Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) and can electronic test equipment used to generate composite electrical waveforms and can repeat a single waveform's generation in rapid succession. The equipment listed is from Tektronix. The AWG must have the capability of producing an analog output of an imported composite waveform at the stated 18GHZ minimum frequency. 0001 AWG70001A, AWG is capable of creating wideband RF signals up to 20 GHZ in frequency and sampling rates of up to 50 billion samples every second with 10 bits of vertical resolution; 1 each 0002 Memory increase for waveform sample point storage. Allows the AWG to store 16 billion data points instead of the default 128 million and generate a single 20GHZ composite waveform lasting 320 ms in length; 1 ea. 0003 5 year warranty, 1 ea. 0004 Provide calibration services at manufacturer recommended intervals; 1 ea. The requirement is to import captured and created waveforms up to 18GHz and generation an analog copy of said waveform. Must import any.WFM file recorded on our high sample speed oscilloscopes, import any.MAT file, must be able to, at minimum, generate composite waveforms up to 18GHz, and signal duration up to 200ms. The government is interested in all small businesses including (8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zone, or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses that are interested in performing this requirement. The government requests interested parties submit a brief description of their company's business size (i.e. annual revenues and employee size), business status (i.e., 8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zone, or Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses, small business) anticipated teaming arrangements, and a description of similar services offered to the Government and to commercial customers. Any responses involving teaming agreements should delineate between the work that will be accomplished by the prime and the work accomplished by the teaming partners. The Government will use this information in determining its small business set-aside decision. All interested firms shall submit a response demonstrating their capabilities to produce the requested equipment to the Primary Point of Contact listed below. As stipulated in FAR 15.201, responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. The decision to solicit for a contract shall be solely within the Government's discretion.

This sources sought notice is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government reimburse any costs associated with the submission of information in response to this notice. Respondents will not be individually notified of the results of any government assessments. The Government's evaluation of the capability statements received will factor into whether any forthcoming solicitation will be conducted as a full and open competition or as a set-aside for small businesses, or any particular small business designation (e.g. SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), SDB, WOSB, VOSB, etc.). Capabilities package: All interested firms shall submit a capabilities package that explicitly demonstrates company capabilities-indicating examples of commercial sales-and product specifications related to this effort. Responses may be submitted electronically to e-mail address 45cons.lgcb.e-bids@us.af.mil; Attn: FA2521-13-Q-B101 Please provide a GSA contract number applicable to this requirement.
