58 -- 58--TELEMETRY DATA PREPROCESSORS SOL F04611-95-R-0066 DUE 062095 POC Linda Ellston, Contract Negotiator, (805) 277-3900/2279; Sally Raymond, Contracting Officer, (805) 277-3900/2285. The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC) has a requirement for Telemetry Data Preprocessors (TDP) and related on- and off-site technical services to support the Test Instrumentation Management System (TIMS) and the Advanced Airborne Instrumentation System (AATIS). A firm-fixed-price requirements contract is contemplated to extend over a five year period. TDP hardware includes Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) decommutation units and related parts/cards. The TDPs must accept up to four 15 Mbit PCM streams; provide an internal simulator; allow individual parameter characteristic definition (MSB, length, data type, etc.); provide highspeed processing algorithms, ADC inputs, and DAC outputs; handle asynchronous/embedded PCM streams; provide local and remote (host) setup and control; and be supported by user friendly software setup tools written in C for porting to and integration with Data General host processors. Technical services include systems analyst support, corrective maintenance of hardware, and training. The AFFTC has been acquiring TDP units from Acroamatics, Inc., 70 S. Kellogg Ave., Goleta, CA since August 1990 under Contract F04611-90-D-0084, which was awarded under full and open competition. The TIMS and associated software have been developed since that time with the Acroamatics TDP functioning as the front end decom system. Under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, the AFFTC intends to negotiate a contract with Acroamatics, Inc. unless responses to this notice reveal additional sources capable of supplying TDPs which are fully compatible with TIMS. Interested sources must submit clear and convincing documentation to demostrate their capability to meet the Government's requirement. Requests from companies asking to be placed on the solicitation mailing list without providing the above described information will not be honored. Delivery to Edwards AFB, CA. See numbered Note 22.
