66 -- ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES MEASURING AND TESTING INSTRUMENTS SOL DE-RP65-95WE05397 DUE 053095 POC Lynda F. Sena, Contract Specialist, (303) 275-1514, Jon F. Olsen, Contracting Officer. Western Area Power Administration (Western) of the Department of Energy plans to purchase by means of a sole source acquisition a single/three phase Pulsar relay test set, Model 10E3T3G-1/60 for the Fort Peck District Office from AVO Multi-Amp Corporation, 4651 S. Westmoreland Road, Dallas, TX 75237-1017. The authority is stated in FAR 6.302-1, 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1). PulseMaster software is the latest version of the MasterTest software presently being used throughout Western. The existing relay test files developed using the MasterTest software are 100 percent compatible running under the new PulseMaster software. The existing relay test files are not compatible with any other vendor's relay test sets or software. Western created all of the test files using AVO Multi-AMP MasterTest software. To maintain these test files, compatible equipment and software must be purchased. The test set shall be furnished with three independent current and three independent potential sources with phase-shifting capabilities. The test set shall be capable of providing a three-phase, four-wire wye potential and current sources for testing three phase protective relays. The test set shall meet the following specifications: (1) The test set shall be provided with an IEEE-488 General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) part and an RS-232 interface port, (2) current, potential, frequency and phase angle controls shall be independently adjustable. The LED display shall show the control settings whether manually entered by front panel controls or automatically by the controller, (3) harmonic generator shall be capable of producing second, third or fifth harmonics of the internal crystal oscillator, (4) the test set shall be furnished in a portable, rugged enclosure to provide protection against shock and vibration, (5) Three independent simultaneous variable current outputs shall be furnished for the test set. Each current module shall be furnished with four current ranges. Current amplitude shall be selected either manually or by autoranging. All responsible sources may respond to the synopsis and all such responses will be fully considered. No solicitation document is available at this time; therefore, all proposals submitted must contain sufficient technical data to demonstrate the respondent's capability to meet the requirements. No contract award will be made on the basis of proposals or other information received in response to this synopsis. See Note 22. Information hours: 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
