Responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the government to form a binding contract. The purpose of this request for information is in support of market research being conducted by the Air Force Metrology Calibration Program (AFMETCAL) to identify potential sources and gather information on current capabilities within the market. This synopsis is for planning purposes only and is NOT to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited hereunder. All costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the responding party's expense. The level of security clearance and amount of foreign participation in this requirement has not been determined.

Joint ventures or teaming arrangements are encouraged. Currently there are no funds available for this acquisition. The Air Force Metrology and Calibration Program is considering a purchase of a AC Voltage Measurement Standard. The AC Voltage Measurement Standard shall be used by the Air Force to maintain measurement traceability for AC Voltage. The AC Voltage Measurement Standard shall be capable of accurately measuring AC Voltages of 0 to 1000 V at frequencies of 10 Hz to 50 MHz. Input to the AC Measurement Standard shall satisfy two range requirements: AC Voltages of 0 to 1000 V at frequencies between 10 Hz and 1 MHz and a wideband range up to 7 V at frequencies of 10 Hz to 50 MHz. The full AC voltage range shall be accomplished by utilizing multiple AC voltage ranges. Each AC voltage range shall maintain a separate measurement uncertainty. The AC Voltage Measurement Standard shall be capable of directly measuring AC or DC voltage as well as comparisons to an external voltage standard. The wideband input terminal shall utilize a 50 ohm Type N coaxial connection. The AC Voltage Measurement Standard shall operate with front panel or standard IEEE-488 interface which offers flexibility during the measurement process. The NAICS code assigned to this acquisition is 334515 with a size standard of 500 employees. The estimated quantity is 167 units with an option for an additional 5 units for a total of up to 172 units over 4 years. Surplus or used material is not acceptable for this item.
