58 -- PORTABLE MAGNETIC TAPE RECORDER/REPRODUCER SYSTEMS SOL N00421-95-R-5301 POC Mike Rock, Contract Specialist, (301) 342-1828 ext. 114, Linda Suggs, Contracting Officer, (301) 342-1828 ext 108. The Sensor System Division of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Patuxent River, Maryland has a requirement for self calibrating Portable Magnetic Tape Recorders/Reproducers. The Portable Magnetic Tape Recorder Systems and associated equipment include the following categories: Storehorse Tape Recorders; Storplex Delta Recorders; Word Safe Maxima Recorders; Storeplus VL Recorders and excessories. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1 only one responsible source and no other Supplies or Services will satisfy the agency requirements. Racal Recorders, Inc. produces a storehorse that contains a unique self calibration feature that allows the machine to rapidly calibrate itself prior to flight without de-installing it from the aircraft. The process of self calibration will save the Government an extraordinary amount of time and money by eliminating the need to pull the entire recorder/reproducer out of the aircraft to perform the calibrations manually. Therefore, this acquisition shall be negotiated on a sole source basis with Racal Recorders, Inc., 15375 Barrabca Parkway, Suite H-101, Irvine, CA 92718. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. Capability statements may be faxed to Mr. Mike Rock at (301) 342-1864. See Numbered Note(s): 22. (0353)
