- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Implementation of WiFi. This PR is intended for the purchase of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) based intellectual property (IP) that implements the baseband physical and data link layers of IEEE 802.11n. This IP will be delivered to NASA and integrated onto its own hardware platforms. It is expected that the IP, when integrated on a NASA FPGA-based platform with a properly configured RF front-end circuit and controller, will allow the platform to wirelessly interface with commercial 802.11n access points. Requirements IP must fully implement the 802.11n baseband physical layer and data link layers as defined by the IEEE 802.11n-2009 amendment specification, which includes support for previous 802.11 physical layer operating modes IP is not required to support the multiple antenna modes, but strong preference will be given to designs that contain multiple antenna support IP will provide a 12-bit I and Q channel digital interface for each RF channel IP will include an implementation of the 802.11 MAC, which may be implemented either in hardware or software running on a soft or hard processor IP is not required to include a lightweight Internet Protocol implementation that would interface with the MAC, but preference will be given to designs that support this feature IP must be able to be synthesized and implemented on a Microsemi RTG4 or SmartFusion2 component The VHDL source code delivered will be fully readable and modifiable Any included software source code will be fully readable and modifiable Test vectors are not required but are preferred The use of soft-processors is permitted only if the soft-processor is supported by the Microsemi RTG4 FPGA, and the processor configuration information and software must be included The following characteristics of the IP must be reasonable compared to similar wireless IP designs currently available on the commercial market: Power consumption Logic resources consumed by the IP NASA will retain the right to modify the IP NASA will retain the right to distribute the IP internally for use in various programs including but not limited to the International Space Station and Advanced Exploration Systems. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC _2005_-83. This procurement is a total small business set-aside. The NAICS Code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 511210 / $25.0 respectively. The offeror shall state in their offer their size status for this procurement. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. Delivery to NASA Glenn Research Center, 21000 Brookpark Road, Cleveland, OH 44135 is required. Delivery shall be FOB Destination. Offers for the items(s) described above are due by September 16, 2015 to Glenn Research Center 21000 Brookpark Road, Cleveland, OH 44135, and must include, solicitation number, FOB destination to this Center, proposed delivery schedule, discount/payment terms, warranty duration (if applicable), taxpayer identification number (TIN), identification of any special commercial terms, and be signed by an authorized company representative. Offerors are encouraged to use the Standard Form 1449, Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items form found at URL: http://server-mpo.arc.na sa.gov/Services/NEFS/NEFSHome.tml Offerors shall provide the information required by FAR 52.212-1 (APR 2014), Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items, which is incorporated by reference.
