- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) intends to award a contract on a sole source basis to Echo Ridge LLC upon the basis of the authority provided at FAR 13.106-1(b). ERDC-CRREL intends to purchase two (2) customized field-deployable and man-portable radiofrequency (RF) channel sounding systems in accordance with the following specifications: • Portable software defined radio transmitter o Capable of 13MHz instantaneous bandwidth o Capable of 10MHz to 6 GHz in frequency o Equipped with GPS disciplined oscillator and SMA port for external frequency reference o Weight < 5 lbs (2.2 kg) o Input power range 9 to 30 VDC or 120VAC o Volume less than 200 in3. o External RF power amplifier capable of 10W with SMA connector, 9-30VDC or 120VAC input power o External RF power amplifier capable of 5W with SMA connector, 9-30VDC or 120VAC input power o Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0 connections for control and data transfer • Portable software defined radio receiver o Capable of recording 13MHz simultaneous bandwidth for at least 2 hours o Capable of covering 10MHz to 6 GHz in frequency o Equipped with GPS disciplined oscillator and SMA port for external frequency reference o Weight < 5lbs (2.2 kg) o Input power range 9 to 30 VDC or 120 VAC o Volume less than 200 in3 o Internal low noise amplifier o Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0 connections for control and data transfer Echo Ridge LLC was identified as the only vendor capable of supplying a portable, software defined radio system with sufficient power and bandwidth to perform the necessary measurements as required by CRREL's requirements. Additionally, the research team is extensively experienced in the operation, programming and customizing of the Echo Ridge equipment, which is paramount to the cost and schedule of the overall project since these items will be used by the CRREL research team to develop a software-defined-radio (SDR) based channel sounding system capable of being deployed by a two person team and operated in austere conditions. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334515, which has a size standard of 500 employees. This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement.
