The Request for Quotation (RFQ) number is FA2521-14-Q-B202 shall be used to reference any written responses to this sources sought. 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 to procure YIG Signal Filters. The Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) filter is a magnetically controlled, tunable band pass filter used to isolate sensitive signals (such as GPS) from more high powered emitters that may be operating nearby (radars, cell phone towers, etc.). These rapidly reconfigurable filters are essential for performing direction finding of emitters that may be causing interference to an Eastern Range instrumentation asset. It also assists in preventing non-linear products they may exceed the third order intercept (TOI) of the signal analyzers, in addition to preventing mixing and compression of any low noise amplifiers used to assist in the detection of signals, interfering and otherwise. Please see requirement below. YIG Signal Filters, MD3296D, with Analog Driver 4-stage, 0.5 to 2.0 GHz, 3 EA. YIG Signal Filters, MD3297D, with Analog Driver 4-stage, 2 to 18 GHz, 2 EA. Salient Characteristics: Provide excellent linearity, low insertion loss and broadband tuning characteristics. Open-loop and closed-loop YIG filters in small rugged packages. YIG filters applications include pre-selectors for radar warning and ELINT (Electronic Intelligence) receivers in the EW (Electronic Warfare) arena, and spectrum analyzers in the microwave and commercial test equipment industry. • 2-, and 4- Stage Designs • Dual channel 2+2 & 4+4 Designs • Standard and Wide Bandwidth Models • Temperature-compensated Tuning • Available with Analog or Digital Input Drivers • MIL-SPEC & Commercial Models Available The government is interested in all small businesses including (8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), or, if applicable based on NAICS code, Economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) Women Owned Small Businesses (WOSB) that are interested in performing this requirement.
